[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1344702, member: 26302"]Yeah, but you are just an old softie. :) If I were like Doug, and not interested in buying coins but just appraising I would charge unless it was a friend. Your situation though is different Jason. You are trying to get into dealing, and one of the best ways is word of mouth. Do a good job for one person, trust me they will tell someone else who may have inherited some old coins as well. Word of mouth is extremely important, especially in smaller communities. If you know how to grade G-AU, have a decent handle on 60-65, (at least enough to eyeball between a 61, a 63, and a 65 possibly), and a greysheet I think you can handle most collections. If you get into some wierd thing, or a special coin, take a pic of it and research it afterwards. Btw, dang Doug. 3 Months? Must have either been a huge collection, or some scarce pieces in there. ;)[/QUOTE]
