YUP!
She got royally ripped off.
Een a teller should know better than this.
Any video footage on the woman?
This transaction was probably caught on the security cameras...
Yes she was a fool. I can’t say that she got ripped off. Banks deal in face value. She got the $280 face value.
The other qualities that make these coins more valuable, are not in the operating charter of banks in a retail sense.
What was the teller supposed to do. Get a spot quote for those coins on that day?
The woman who parted with them for the 280 bucks should have taken them to a coin dealer.
Consider that a coin dealer is going to want ID in order to pay the full value. The woman would have to pay tax on the full value if she couldn’t show a purchase price document.
That assumes that these coins weren’t stolen to begin with.
