    Hot take, let's give MS. Proud a chance to thrive. She's a new member and one that may well be a bit overexcited. We all were at some point.
    How about we see where she goes with it and enjoy her enthusiasm for this wonderful hobby.

    HA, no missed that.
    Whoops.

    Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?

    @sanddollar, in case you weren't trying to be funny - we already know where the poster was going with it - trying to scam multiple people.

    Read the thread.

    "Hey! Noticed your post about needing a 1979-D Kennedy Half Dollar. A contact named Eric mentioned he has it. You can email him at ericvincent039@gmail.com. Just passing along the lead—hope it helps!"

    Almost fell for it before researching here. Thannks to all who've brought this info forward.

    NEVER EVER NEVER

    even consider sending money to a brand new member of this forum, unless there's extenuating circumstances, and you are positive that they are a trustworthy individual.

    There's no harm in buying a coin from a new member if he is willing to ship the coin first for examination prior to getting paid.

    Getting banned after just 2 posts may not be the best start.

    That might be a new record.

    Just got this PM from the OP.

    “ Hey! Noticed your post about needing a Gold CAC Walking Liberty Half Dollars . A contact named Eric mentioned he has it. You can email him at ericvincent039@gmail.com. Just passing along the lead—hope it helps!”

    This is known scam.

    And I got a phone message from a Nigerian prince yesterday, even left a voice mail message! The stars are aligning. ;)

    He (or she) is back as willy442, using the email account dawnvincent934@gmail.com instead of ericvincent039@gmail.com. I just received a message from him offering some unnamed Oklahoma national bank notes in "excellent condition".

    Best thing to do in these circumstances is to flag one of the moderators so they are aware. @pcgs_education @PCGS_Hy @PCGS_Social
