<p>[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 349671, member: 11521"]My grandmother's maiden name was Estes. About 20 years ago I came across Steve Estes at a coin show in Reno.

I returned the coin to Mr. Estes for a refund. I remember him blasting me for questioning his grading skills and his reputation (which I did not). He ranted and raved for a good bit and said some bad things about me but finally refunded my entire purchase price. He made a lasting impression on me.
