Am I wrong to be ****ed off?
I went to my local coin dealer today. I brought about 1.5K with me
because I wanted to buy some specific stuff. He didn't have it. No problem. I only spent about $45. I have a folder I always bring with me that contains my want lists, money, and coin sets I want to show the dealer. This time I had just gotten back from Berlin and showed two Euro sets from Finland & Greece I had bought in Potsdam (10 Euro for an UNC set for each country). We had a good conversation and then I was looking at the certified Morgans I wanted. I then saw another customer using my folder as background to check the assay of some gold coins. The solution he used went straight through the folder, thankfully, I had papers before my Finland Euro Set. It burned a hole in my folder. Thank God it did not affect the packaging or my coins. Is it a no foul situation or should I talk to the coin dealer? T |

But,how in heck did he get to your folder?Left it on the counter,did we? Oh well, if the owner was with that customer when this was going on and did nothing? I wouldn't spend another dime there. If you put down your folder and walked away,well... |

What dealer is going to let a customer acid test their stock? I'm not saying it didn't happen - but it didn't happen. |
