I can visualize several levels of "being" a coin dealer, and I'm not sure where the OP wants to go in this business. 1. You wake up one morning...
Sure. By the way, for those going into the coin business, or other businesses, or even having new business cards made, design a card that NO ONE...
LOL, you mean dictionaries, right? I was a proofreader once upon a time. I made too many things disappear and they changed my job title to...
Especially since "proofread" is one word, not two...:D
Didn't notice the OP had an eBay Store up and running. I guess then the question becomes, how will he compete with Apmex and Provident?
Yes, I agree, for specific who, when, where. But without a general plan of how to source material, the enterprise will never get off the ground.
I suggest you give it a shot on eBay for six months and see if you LIKE the business. No license needed. PM me and I can show you how to cut way...

I had to think a moment on that one...
Maybe an artifact from the "Free Silver" Party and contemporary elections? The Silver Party was a political party in the United States, most...
Chris oughta know -- any big pushback yet? Any evidence the regulators are prowling around coin shows or flea markets or hotel suites?
Payday in Zimbabwe, 5 years ago; bad news for pickpockets. If three dudes corner you in an alley, they steal the wheelbarrow, not the money....
I am still curious whether the absence of copper has anything to do with milk spots. For the various foreign 0.999 bullion coins, do they have...
beef, you get it! And even worse, convincing someone those bars and ingots are silver to begin with; and who's going to "make change" for them,...
