[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1210728, member: 22004"]Good points. Customers can be helpful, informative, and colorful--they are the lifeblood of any business. They can also be rude, obnoxious, dumb and troublesome in other ways. Usually by their mannerisms the dealers show whether they are people they want to do business with or not. Certainly there have been quite a few stories of the latter type over the years--some customers with the deepest pockets had a crusty exterior, but with other admirable features too. At a coin show it is hard not to comment on problem slabs, quite a few NNC holders have been cropping up at shows. IMO a shoddy grading company. [URL]http://www.nnccoingrading.com/[/URL] I wonder if a renegade coin grader started this outfit? Scott Travers in one of his books recommends writing a check for a coin for the amount you are willing to pay for it, tearing it in half, and telling said dealer that the check is good for a specified amount of time, and to call the customer if interested. I don't know if any one has tried this tactic.[/QUOTE]
