<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 3218138, member: 39084&quot;]My personal thoughts on HJB&#039;s offer:</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s a clever combination of marketing and service. If a collector sends in his/her own coin and gets a free opinion (sticker), that&#039;s actually a valuable service and if I didn&#039;t have my own dealer or purchase coins through high-profile auctions, I would certainly use this myself. </p><p><br /></p><p>The marketing value to HJB is also obvious: he gets to see lots of coins that may later be offered for sale, he establishes contact with a lot of collectors who are potential buyers and he can pinpoint their collecting focus to offer them coins from his inventory, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, I&#039;m impressed by his offer and if he&#039;s not overwhelmed by the response (and has to delegate the authentication to those with lesser expertise), I actually support what he&#039;s doing. He&#039;s one of only about a dozen or so well-known individuals who could offer this service with some validity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
