    Traveling Coin Buyers Busted on Camera

    DETROIT - There is a new trend going around this holiday season: People cashing in the old coins grandpa may have given them for cash.

    The problem: There are some scammers out there to take advantage of you if you don’t know what to expect.

    The reporter also said that if the coins were "before 1964" they are worth more. She should have said "before 1965".
    (I also noticed that she was blonde.)

    Lots of these scammers around. I hope they all get busted.

    Conversely, we then have the individuals that when told their item has a retail value of $100; they want that $100 from a brick and mortar store. When they don't get it the store is accused of being scammers. Overhead and profit? Huh?

    Yay, I'm part of the 20%!

    These shysters make my blood boil. Some people hang around in the parking lots of these events and make better offers.
    Last appearance in pocket change:

    Wheat penny - 1944 (4/29/12)
    Silver - 1928 dime (12/5/11)
    Dollar coin - 2010-D (Pierce) (4/16/12)
