I almost agree except I have way, way more than others and way, way less than some.
Get a Red Book. See pages 395 to 398. "Great Collectors and Collections of the Past" Then go to a really big coin show. Lots of dealers there...

Rules and laws about estate sales are similar to the rules and laws of garge, yard, moving sales. At least everywhere I ever have gone or have...
