<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeatedLibLover, post: 75810, member: 4149&quot;]GDJMSP,&nbsp; I would have to disagree with you on the coin dealer idea.&nbsp; I have known many dealers, and currently deal closely with 3.&nbsp; I agree with you that their main motive is profit, but I believe something got them into the industry in the first place besides money.&nbsp; I really don&#039;t think that you can be around coins that much, and become that knowledgable in coins, without having at least some appreciation for them.&nbsp; Even if there sole purpose is profit, which I do not doubt is true for most, some part of them appreciates the coins themselves.&nbsp; I make it a habit to ask any dealer I buy from what their favorite series is, and how they got into coins,&nbsp; and try to get them talking about it, when they are not busy.&nbsp; (selfishly in a way, this does help me to get to know them, which can lead to better deals.)</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, I asked that of my current favorite dealer and he started telling me about how much he loves standing liberty quarters, and about his dad&#039;s coin collection, and I swear to you he started getting misty eyed. (if he was acting, he deserves an Oscar)&nbsp; This is a very good business man with a thriving coin business with two locations.&nbsp; I would tend to argue against what you say about dealers GDJMSP, no matter what the first impression of the dealer is.&nbsp; I think people are more complex than that, even if they don&#039;t know it themselves, lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
