<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1798421, member: 29643&quot;]This is a simple response to the original &quot;idea&quot; of this thread:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Why would someone send their coins to you for $19.95? What are your credentials/qualifications?</p><p>2) Why would someone send their coins to any individual who doesn&#039;t know how to properly grade coins to assess their coins for them?</p><p>3) What would entice someone to send coins to you for a fee when:</p><p>A) There are dozens of individuals on Craigslist who will assess their collections for free in their own home or at a store?</p><p>B) Grading services (whose opinions matter) will add value to the coin?</p><p>4) Would you send your coins to someone who is flagged on ChexSystems, had their Paypal account closed for failure to pay their BillMeLater account, and has multiple accounts in collections for their utility bills?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m merely offering thoughts based upon the result of my suggestion to friends that they should get a few coins in their inheritance graded. They asked the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) How do I know they won&#039;t steal my coins?</p><p>2) How do I know they won&#039;t swap out lower grade coins for my coins?</p><p>3) How do I know their opinions are correct?</p><p>4) If they lose my coins, are they insured/bonded?</p><p><br /></p><p>These were questions asked about PCGS. The family had no idea who PCGS was/is. Why? They&#039;re not coin collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either your potential client base will be actual collectors, in which case, you&#039;ll get no clients due to those in the community knowing of your antics and lifestyle, or your potential client base will be those with absolutely no understanding of the rare coin market, and you&#039;ll be asked the same questions posed above.</p><p><br /></p><p>Focus your efforts on things that might work out positively for you:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Get back into college and study hard.</p><p>2) Focus on getting higher paying employment, rather than complaining on a coin forum about your financial problems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
