Scott W Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 01/04/2011 04:58 am Was this coin silver or cupro-nickel? I have had it since 1966, and always thought it was silver. A local (Washington state) coin dealer told me it was clad, and offered up 50 cents for it. I still have the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

weavus135 Pillar of the Community United States 539 Posts	Posted 01/04/2011 6:30 pm this is very interesting. I suppose a dealer could just be plain wrong but what I don't understand is why he wouldn't verify his knowledge. I have to believe he had a krause catalog or something to reference to satisfy both the seller and buyer. Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 12:16 am Am I the only fellow who is suspicious of dealers in general? Can we all say CROOK I know we all have war stories but I think that whenever you talk to a "for profit" coin dealer you have to keep one hand on your wallet at all times. The biggest profits come when you underpay and overcharge. So be forewarned - KNOW what you are doing BEFORE entering the dealer's lair. Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 12:23 am Let's not be too cynical about dealers. There will be crooks and there will be decent people just trying to make a living. I've never heard of a business person buying dear and selling cheap (well not ones that survive). The dealer mentioned in the original post was either a. a crook looking for the sucker b. generally ignorant about what he's dealing in or c. just couldn't be bothered. Report this Post to the Staff
