<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5471195, member: 19463"]I don't think the majority of people appreciate the full costs of wheeling and dealing in coins. We get great services from coin dealers but they are well paid for their services. I do not know the pay scale for employees of the big sellers (CNG, Berk, Heritage) but these are not small staffs and someone has to pay them. If we expect a high level professional staff, we can't expect these people to work for minimum wage. Obviously coin dealers hope you will change collecting emphasis often. I am not a coin dealer so I really would prefer that FFIVN will still have the coins he has today when he turns 100. I really would love to know just how often each and every coin has sold since it was removed from the ground. I have three coins that I have owned for over 50 years. I hope those collectors who change their interests as often as they change their socks keep doing it paying the salaries of all those CNG etc. employees who might not be able to keep that job if the only coins they could sell would be from collections of deceased collectors. Our economy counts on people who buy a new house, new car, new furniture etc. on a regular basis and pay the costs involved in making those changes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
