She had a box of about 30 mixed pieces (a wide variety)--Oldest coin was an 1883 Morgan. They were all jingling around in a box. I thought it would turn out to be another batch worth pretty much melt, until I found an Fine 1885 Liberty Nickel mixed in the bunch! I offered to buy them (and pay her fairly), she said she'd get back to me.

That title would be great for Mad Lib's!
but wouldn't surprise me if she now goes to a shop somewhere, and tells them what your offer was.... so they can offer a piddly amount more and get the coins! And so it goes....

I'm not sure why this is funny.

I'm not to sure about that. She seemed pretty clueless about coins, let alone coin dealers in the area.

Told her about this and said I'd pay her market value if she was interested. She decided to keep it.

Coin dealers are known for this, especially when little old ladies walk in...
