"I stopped collecting coins 20 years ago"

I just don't get it with some people. Do they really think we are stupid? Here's a good example, guy claims he quit collecting 20 years ago, but he is selling a green label PCGS slab. If he quit buying coins 20 years ago, how did he come up with a green label slab that made it's debut 13 years ago?

81-S Morgan Green Label

    Maybe he found the slab in the street.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    That slab could be as old as 8 years or as new as 5 years.
    When was 20 years ago? 1983?
    When did PCGS open? 1986?
    The seller is either a liar or retarded.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
  • I sent the seller the following email. Lets see what his responce is. Should be interesting! I'll keep ya posted.



    I'm interested in your Morgan, but like to kinda know the pedigree before I buy them. Could you tell me how long you've owned this coin. I noticed in your auction you stated that you stopped collecting 20 years ago. Is it safe to say that you've owned it that long.

    Thanks in advance!
