Without looking back at ALL the posts I'm gonna go with 469. Thanks for the contest and Welcome to the forums.
Being registered in the U.S. Patent Legal Office is a very good thing; it makes your company REAL! I do have a customer base, depending on the size of the collection. My profit base is from people who don't know about coins and what they are worth. I am sure that I can grade, my customers are pleased with my work. I do not currently plan to expand, but will grade any U.S. Coins from anywhere in the U.S. My company has graded over 1,000 coins since 2008.
Just being able to offer the service to look up and appraise collections would be pretty valuable to a lot of people who have inherited coin collections from family members. Good luck with your business coinmaster..!
I have to agree with this claim. Not only has he started his own business at this young of an age but has set up a site for his business, set up two other sites for his other hobbies, AND publishes his own bi-monthly coin newsletter. At 12 I was incapable of doing any of that. Much applause to you for your determination and patience with these endeavors.
can I ask a stupid question? Why on earth would anyone want to slab a 1975-D Lincoln Cent? Particularly in a low MS grade? maybe I'm missing something...
