[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 808490, member: 16994"]In the coin buisness (like any other retail buisness) you should know exactly what you are selling. If you don't someone who has done their homework is going to come along and correct your mistakes... whether you know it or not. I have dealers who come through the shop from time to time who I know are very very smart specialized dealers. I don't want to drop names but lets say they are published authors of reference books on certian types of US coins. It might sound strange but I don't want to sell them coins sometimes... In my mind it means that I have missed something that he knows about and I don't. I have even read this persons published work and am familiar with it. But I just smile and make the sale and let him make his money. It's just how it's done... It's my responsibility to myself to cherrypick my own stuff... or someone is going to do it for me.
