-Some good comments here.

I too wouldnt trust some guy with a camera and his (potentially fake) coin for $50...Not one bit.

Fucking scams everywhere these days. Hell, I sold a PS3 on Craigslist and someone tried to scam me by telling me they could only pay direct deposit to my bank account (and wanted my details)

It seems like everyone is out to scam these days and if random guy with a camera makes me out to be a fool for not taking a 1 oz Gold Coin for $50...So be it. Maybe next week I will try to go to that same spot with an iron Pyrite (fools gold) Coin and see how quick people jump on it for a mere $50...Personally, I think anyone who took the deal would have been foolish unless they had a keen knowledge of testing Gold (which is quite complex)
