Local coin shop -- owner busted
Posted: Mon Oct 01, 2012 6:57 pm
An area coin shop had a few 10th oz gold eagles selling for what the online shops were buying for. Being new to this, I just browsed, asked a few questions and walked away.
A little Googling turned up that the owner was busted for selling fake coins and autographs...along with dealing in other various illegal activity.
The shop looks like any other coin shop. The owner just happens to be crooked.
I have no idea if the eagles were genuine, as I didn't have my calipers and scale with me.
I don't mean to bash local shops. Just but be sure to stay vigilant out there.
