It appears to be a real quality place with lots of information for both professionals and novices. I just enjoy reading the various posts and learning something new. Thanks for starting (whoever did it) such a good and valuable site - it should be required reading for anyone who dares purchase a coin on ebay. I especially like the discussions on the most contentious issuesl - grading & TPGs.

That would be Pete Davis. Click here: http://www.cointalk.org/member.php?u=321 You are right, also, that this site should be required reading. While it is true that some caution is needed -- not everyone with an opinion knows what they are talking about -- generally, the consensus of options tends to point to the broad truth. __________________ Mike M Michael E.
