DECEPTION
"The price of silver is $30. If you

14. VALUE OF GRADED
COINS
• Unless you’re a savvy collector and know the market, it is
hard not to get scammed
• Even if market price is accurate, there are still massive buy-

don’t have to be reported by dealers to the government
• Sellers of numismatic or semi-numismatic coins have the
