Recently a famous numismatist went undercover as a vagrant and attended several of these one day only, fly-by-night, flyer-dumping scammers. He asked the scammer/dealer how a regular person could even find out the price of gold. The response was that it wasn’t even possible for a member of the public to find out this information for free, and you had to be a member of the gold guild.
Victims were duped into selling silver as low as 25% of spot/market price.
To protect yourself from losing thousands of dollars to a scammer, ask a few questions, get a free estimate and only deal with well established businesses.
