biged239 Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 3:31 pm The scary part is, a lot of people out there really think that they have a gold mine in coins, and don't know no better. I run across friends that have coins and think they are worth something just because they are 20 or 30 years old. Of course I explain to them how the value really works in a short version. They are all amazed and a little let down. Big Ed (...Didnt really want to sell any of them, but times have gotten too rough...) Report this Post to the Staff
rjkingston Pillar of the Community United States 642 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 4:10 pm I've had some very similar situations as biged239. I've had friends and relatives who have modern coins. They go to coin value books and websites and figure their coin is shiny, so must be valued somewhere near the 'top' of price figures. In reality, they won't get more than face value in their lifetime. Kinda reminds me the first time I looked in a coin values book when I was 11..... I'm glad some dealer let me down easy early on.
