jello - Let me ask you a question. You are claiming that people are tattle-tales and snitches, well what do you think that little red and...
Really you're the only one who can answer the question. Selling them piecemeal, like ebay, is a lot of work. And unless you have an established...
Nope. You can carve up all the coins and rip, tear, paint all the currency ya want and it's perfectly legal.
For grading purposes get yourself a 5x glass. The only time anything stronger is needed is to verify authenticity or check a variety. I'd say...

Bruce in the time you've got it might be best if you can find somebody else who might be going to the show to look at the coins with you. Even the...

He can speak for himself, but I suspect that Mark is always hesitant to present an opinion without seeing any coin in hand. Nuttin wrong with...
if by the ability to act fast you mean making sure that you cash on hand to avail yourself of an opportunity should one arise - then I agree. But...
