American Coin Express ACE Unbelievable. My elderly mother was belittled and ripped off by the owner. Las Vegas, Nevada

AMERICAN COIN EXPRESS My Mother was ridiculed and belittled by the man she saw on their TV commercial, when she took her coins and paper money notes into their store. He made her feel that she was stupid for even coming into his store and wasting his time with her coins, since many of her coins were worth nothing, at least that's what he said, but he told her that he'd take them off her hands so she wouldn't have to drag those heavy coins to a bank to get rid of them. I know that silver is very high priced these days, and when I found out from Mom that he paid her 2 dollars each for her walking lady and her Benjamin Franklin half dollars, it just didn't sound right to me. I've been told since then that the rolls of Kennedy half dollars from the first year were worth the same as the older ones, and I know that she had some rolls from the first year that my Father bought back then, when they first came out. I wish I had taken more time to go with her, because when I made some calls to three of the other shops here in town, I was told they were paying between 8 and 10 dollars for each of those coins. I am so happy that she didn't sell this crook her silver dollars or her 500 dollar bill, because he told her that it was no good any more, but he'd take it off her hands for 50 dollars. When I took it to my personal banker, he told me that it was still worth $500.00.

This guy's a big fat crook, and a liar. Don't go near either of his stores. He'll rip you off, if you let him.
