CONT

A shortchange artist prefers to operate on careless or inexperienced cashiers. His goal is to confuse the cashier during a money transaction by changing his mind in the middle of a purchase. One common method used by a shortchange artist is to make a $. 50 purchase and pay with a $20 bill, then suddenly changes his mind and decides to pay with a $1. 00 bill. He will hand back the change from the $20 bill after pocketing $10 and produce the $1. 00 bill to buy the item. An experienced cashier won’t realize ten dollars is missing from the $20 change. During the exchange of money, the shortchange artist usually tries to take the cashier's mind from her work by talking about his job, family, sad story, etc. hoping the cashier won’t notice the missing $10 bill.

Subject field(s)
  • Coins and Bank Notes
  • Numismatics
  • Coining
OBS

Truly rare quality Canadian coins are very infrequently offered or sold. In many cases, rare coins may appear only once every few years of possibly only once every major coin cycle(5-8 years). The last sale of such an item may be meaningless as an aid to repricing such a coin in a "new" market. "Trends" for such coins are non-existant. Such coins are usually priced by relating them to other similar coins of comparable rarity and using historical relationships of pricing between the two to arrive at a "fair" asking price. In the end the price will be what a willing buyer will pay a willing seller. Considerable research may go in to pricing such coins, certainly more than looking them up in a Trends List.

OBS

Victorian and Edward VII coins in original MS-65 or better grade are rare coins.

OBS

See related term: trends (plural).
