Great Story!

I was in the local coin shop today, and I whitnessed an amazing event. As I was chattin with my buddies, a very distraught mother and daughter came in. Recently gas prices have shot up, and the mother, low on money, wanted to sell a coin her grandfather gave her for gas money. She came in and handed the coin dealer the coin, and asked for him to give her a fair price. It turned out to be an 84 cc morgan, in about AU. The coin dealer, knowing their position, offered them $300 for the coin, well above its value. At that point the women began to cry and simply said "God bless you." As the mother and daughter were leaving, the dealer handed the little girl back the coin and said, "Dont ever let it go." I just wanted to share this story that happened an hour ago, to show that honest coin dealers do still exsist! Enjoy!

If he sells on eBay, I would certainly put him on my "list".

The dealer will get back far more in the long run, and I don't necessarily mean in sales. Good for him!

It's people like him that made this country........ Too bad in this needy, greedy, world that we live in there isn't
more people with morals and feelings, like this dealer...... Maybe we all need to look in the mirror once in awhile.

mgoodm3 · June 19, 2004 2:51AM

Wow.

Peetie · June 19, 2004 2:54AM

That is a great story indeed. How many times do you ever get the chance to make a real difference in someone's life?

<< <i>That story gave me chills. >>

Me too! It would be nice to know who this dealer is. As others have said, give him some of our business.

This just points out that there are good people out there!!

ddbird · June 19, 2004 3:25AM

The Dealers are Dean and Dave...I have talked about them before. They dont sell on ebay, or have a website...but if your ever around philly, they are about 45 min. from there. They are extremely nice and helpful people.

ealandg · June 19, 2004 3:30AM

That was a very touching story. Times are tough for a lot of folks out there...

Nice story Ddbird, thanks for sharing it!

Betta285 · June 19, 2004 3:40AM

That made my day....that is why i love collecting

FatMan · June 19, 2004 3:46AM

Now why did you have to go and post this. You are really ruining the reputation that so many dealers have worked so hard to obtain.

A very kind gesture. Thanks for sharing.

Brianruns10 · June 19, 2004 3:51AM

I think you should put out the name of the dealer, and where his shop is, along with this story. That man deserves all the publicity he can get.

09sVDB · June 19, 2004 3:51AM

That is truely awesome.

Dollars · June 19, 2004 3:59AM

Need to know where exactly this coin shop is.

Is the dealer going to be in B more for the coin show?

God bless him and all who do the same. Like Ken said, lets you know there are folks out there who care.

Dean and Dave are the names...of Downingtown coins and collectables...located in Exton, Pennsylvania. They only do local shows...I think only the show in Chester County actually.

Shamika · June 19, 2004 7:12AM

Incredible.

ddbird · June 19, 2004 8:47AM

Im going to bump this one for the evening crowd

Stop by and visit, they deserve the business.
