<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2565245, member: 36230&quot;]I&#039;ve seen this more times than I care to remember, even after advising the individual not to touch them. It was one thing before the internet became so widely available to most everyone, but my own experiences suggest it&#039;s only gotten worse since it has, and is another example of why posting only proper/true information is so very important. The &quot;silversearchers&quot; types in this world can and do cause harm even if we don&#039;t get to witness it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then with all due respect to this &quot;dealer&quot;, the collector should&#039;ve walked out never to return. I&#039;m certainly not saying he should&#039;ve blindly accepted the tags as proof of grade or value in this situation, or blindly paid CDN, but any dealer worth his salts should know how to properly grade and valuate coins to individual TPG standards without having to submit them first. Simply evaluate fairly yet conservatively, factor in whatever profit margin in needed, and account for the total costs of resubmission for coins worthy of or benefit from it to come up with the offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, it seems more and more supposed &quot;dealers&quot; today lack the ability to properly do their jobs, and is why I refuse to apply the term &quot;dealer&quot; to anyone who cannot offer additional value to their customers/clients beyond the coin itself. Such people are nothing more than &quot;sellers&quot; IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
