not so goofy but in my case a very good deal, on a table i walked up were a small pile (9 to be exact) of silver dollar sized coins, very tarnished and sorta ugly looking, i instantly recognized them as silver "rounds", i picked one up, WITH PERMISSION, asked how much ?
$4.00 each, was the reply (which would have been $36.00)
i'll give you $25 for all of them.., (i collect all types of coins)
humm.., OK
when i got home i dipped them in vinegar........, lo and behold they showed their original appearance, three of them were what we collectors call "proof", right now just them being silver makes them worth about $25.00 each, the one proof was a Wells Fargo commemorative, present value about $50.00 !!!
only GOOFY on the sellers part for being ignorant.
