<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 3978390, member: 73489&quot;]Your lengthy and outstanding post deserves a response and some questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>(1)&nbsp; Why is the ANA (or some other coin dealer association) <b>not authorizing it&#039;s insignia </b>to be used only by fully-paid up members and/or authorized dealers ?</p><p><br /></p><p>(2)&nbsp; Such a certification would let the general public know that someone is NOT an authorized seller.&nbsp; In fact, Ebay and others could BRAND them as <b><span style="color: #ff0000">NOT AUTHORIZED</span></b> in big bold flashing red type.&nbsp; Their business would COLLAPSE.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>I am a financial professional and I have to annually pay dues and sign a Professional Conduct Statement regarding my ability and ethics to perform as a financial analyst.&nbsp; </b>In fact, during a stretch when I was unemployed, I let my membership lapse and the certification body found an internet posting with my credentials listed.&nbsp; I had an investigation launched against me which was cleared up fairly easily but which showed that the professional body would NOT let professional designations and certifications be used for those not in good standing.</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>The ANA or some professional coin dealers association should do this, and they could use their leverage </b>to force sellers like Ebay and others to either prohibit scammers from listing their products or put them in some designated non-authorized section.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d join and pay $$$ in a membership for that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
