<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1298734, member: 112&quot;]Obviously you are correct, brain cramp on my part. And Chris, sorry. You tried to tell me too - an even worse brain camp on my part. Mea culpa <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding Coin World vetting dealers though. They (CW) do state right in the magazine the requirements they have for advertising dealers. However, it is obvious to most that those requirements are consistently not met or adhered to by all. And yet CW continues to accept ads from them, week after week and year after year. Some of their biggest advertisers have the widely accepted reputation of offering coins as BU that are really AU and/or harshly cleaned. These folks, and their reputation (due to widespread complaints), are so well known that I do not even need to name names for most readers here to know who I am talking about. So it&#039;s hard to believe, for me, that any vetting is done by CW at all !</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, Coin World does indeed have some very respectable and trusted dealers who advertise with them. And I would have no problem recommending these dealers myself. In point of fact, I have recommended many of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>One last comment. I do not believe that Coin World should be vetting those who advertise with them. It is not the magazine&#039;s business to vet dealers and should they try to do so it would probably end up being nothing but a huge problem for CW. And from a practical point of view, there is no way for the magazine to vet dealers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
