[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 1450791, member: 8797"]A good such read is called "Coin Collecting for Dummies" from that popular "For Dummies" series. Don't knock it. It really is a great read for a new collector. That said, I commend you for sending the crooks a letter, even though I may not agree with everything you write ;) Truth be told, if more people took that kind of initiative there would be less "double speak" in sales that's so easily brushed off by those of us who have been burned in our numismatic careers. We all resent the same thing in turn, but it would be nice if these multi-million dollar business were bound by the same standards (legally) as my favorite coin dealer is (morally; he's a great guy). The real problem is with the TPGs for putting waffles into slabs in the first place. Especially TPGs that (from what I hear) are so very picky about what they will slab as an error. Next there will be a rash of counterfeit waffles. Self slabbers bummed over ebays new policy change will be in their basements now with a coin in a vice and a hammer, makin the big bucks. :)[/QUOTE]
