Silver coins/rounds question

[Badger]

Not to stray too far off topic but I just replied to a guy's e-mail where he was wanting to give me some silver for custom work on his Harley. (Is it anyone here?) This sort of set off a red flag for me as I don't know any who willingly give up their metals stash for custom "looks good" stuff. Besides, I'd have no idea to predict the value of it and figured it could somehow come back to screw me. Not sure if its somekind of scam but in the chances he's legit, I gave him the quote for paint work in cash and told him those are the only acceptible terms, otherwise well wishes and find someone else. Just thought it was strange and figured I'd share the info in case there is some sort of scam floating around.


Back on topic.
