Peace and Morgan Silver Dollars at Face Value

[PGHDigger]

Stopped at the convenience store to get a coffee on my way to work this morning... The cashier was arguing with some kid, when I got to the counter and realized what it was about I almost dropped my coffee as my heart skipped a beat... I am a regular and familiar with the cashier so I asked what's up... The cashier said the kid was trying to pass counterfeit money, the kid turned around and showed me what he had in his hand... It was actually 2 Morgan's and 5 peace dollars... I asked him if it would help if I gave him the seven dollars for them and he agreed... He bought his cigarettes and went on his way...

I just got home from work and got my first real look at them... Couldn't be happier...

Now all I need is the snow to go away and the ground to thaw so I can get out and detect...

Get 'em while they're HOT

 

[stefen]

unfortunately you made a major mistake...

You didn't get the kids name, address and cell...just in case he pinched more of grannies stash...

 

[Doubter in MD]

I doubt he would give up that information unless he was a total moron.

I thought about that after the fact... I also realize they could very well be stolen... Especially given the area I'm in...

I'm still taking this as a win...

Wait until the kids parents find out. He's gonna be in deep trouble.

Not trying to be an ass, but shoudent you
Have offered the kid a more fair amount, $10 at least? Or guided him as to what he had. Again it might just be me.

First, Congratulations PGHDigger

Second, which one of you in exactly the same situation would not have done the same thing? Stop being jealous and envious, and Growl like a Pirate!

I don't think you can call him a "kid". You have to be 18 to buy cigarettes in Pennsyvania and they card. You might call him a punk though.

Let's look at this a different way. What if this kid stole from you or your family and then sold it for nothing to someone like you.
Karma is a ..... ya know

 

[P@tch]

No it's not just you

 

[PGHDigger]

I'm not going to defend my decision to do this as it was definitely questionable... The kid I'm referring to was easily in his mid twenties, and definitely was not on the up and up...

Should I have offered him more? I could argue that all night long... But I'm not going to do that... I did what I did...

In the future I think this would go down differently... I would definitely offer the individual more money and ask more questions...

This is the first time something like this has happened to me, hopefully not the last though...

As your asking, I will answer - 'me'

[DirtStalker]

Dang I wonder if his weed dealer got the Gold ones.
