I would be careful. The owner of CNG was actually on here and explained how a lot of this you see on auctions is dealer-buyers, where the dealers...
I guess I have never really wondered what my coins sound like. Myself, I would probably start with a bag of GB Large cents or bag of junk silver...
I am just curious, what are you basing "fewer ancient collectors" idea on? I think the collector base is changing, more on their own using...
I would view it as more of a function of CT taxes. They are as brutal as NYC taxes nowadays. I view the states in the NE have pushed to the edge...
Fair enough. I never said one Ebay coin dealer wanting to try to eliminate others made sense, (no barriers to entry, identical "location", endless...
I buy product from other producers and mark it up and make a good profit. The reason they would want to buy from me is customer service, hedging...
