I would say the guy is "out of touch" with reality and I have seen this fairly often; this Captain Queag may go down with his ship. There are...
I'll take the contrarian approach here. I asked the manager of one of the area's biggest coin dealers in the late 90s about coins and investments...
I shipped it to an true expert and a gentleman on these gold coins, Mr. Kern. He called me about it and said it was a "Gupta II", Changor, not...

My apology for bringing up a side issue, en passant. Back to the original issue: Bring cash with you – many dealers don't take credit cards,...
Mainly conjecture. A different set of graders looks at the high-end coins than the lower-tier ones. It could only be proven if you were...
