Well trust usually has to be earned, but it can only be earned through experience. So when you have no experience the only thing you can do is ask...
And they have every right to do so. There is a difference between wholesale and retail no matter what you are talking about. Jewelry for example...
No, it's not a carryover at all. The point is just what I said, there is no such thing as a "reasonable" profit. The reason there is no such thing...
Yeah, of course it's possible. There are even several members of CT who do exactly that, they take coins pics for others and get paid to do so....

Yes, but not as many as there are for US coins. British coin forums are probably the next most common, at least among those I have run across. But...
Just keep in mind that's a big "if"
Yeah it looks like 91, except it's really 16 because of the way the legends were minted on that coin. And you can't see the 77 that comes after...
Yes.
The cob, if it is genuine, would be a Potosi 8 reales minted 1677. Value would be $150-$200.
No, but what was already there can become more visible after it was slabbed. Also, it's not uncommon for coins to be over-graded either.
Not necessarily. I think it's a fake myself.
OK, that's more like it :happy:
PM me your email address and I'll send you something that will help with that ;) But just so ya know, the '37 is a common date and known for...
