You saved me from buying some fakes...

I was at the flea market selling and someone came buy and wondered if I had any coins or such. I didn't this time.
He tried to sneak by a fake morgan on me and I could see it and fell it. Thanks to those fakes I got here as
samples, I had a good reference. If not, without a magnet or scale handy I may have bought. Thanks for the knowledge.
I couldn't follow him and leave my stand..

    If I were dealing in a public venue and trading on a regular basis with people I didn't know, I'd become pretty proficient with a scale and density measurement in a short period of time.

    The GIANTS appreciate you, too.

    The swindlers and misfits hate to see people armed with too much knowledge. It bites into their profit margins.

    Good to hear this. It's confirmation that knowledge is power.
    To forgive is to free a prisoner, and to discover that prisoner was you.
