<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coloradotokens, post: 1051249, member: 17153&quot;]<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">Hobo, my avatar is in fact a Lesher dollar, still trying to figure out how to load a good image on CT as I do not get on the site that often.&nbsp; The story of Joseph Lesher is one of my favorites and anyone who is interested can learn more about him at Lesherdollars.com.</font></font></p><p><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">I kind of live it the area of ANA, about 60 miles away so I do get down there from time to time and will take your advice on meeting with someone there who might also be able to help me out.&nbsp; Face to face meets are the best way to gather info but it can be hard to for some people to find the time, unless you can catch them at lunch or something.&nbsp; </font></font></p><p><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">I have done some research based from the posts that were left on here and I noticed that when doing a search of PNG dealers in Colorado there are only three off the PNG site.&nbsp; Also I know a former president of the PNG who canceled his membership because they say one thing but sometimes do another and he said that some members get special privileges meaning that when there is a grey area when it comes to ethics sometime the organization will look the other way.&nbsp; I mean what has the PNG ever really done?&nbsp; I do enjoy reading about how the PNG always offers rewards when a coin dealer gets robbed, but what I really want to see is the PNG represent the coin community and push for the 1099 bill repeal.&nbsp; </font></font></p><p><font face="Calibri"><font size="3">I also did a search for certified appraisers for coins in Colorado off the American Society of Appraisers and there was like only two people for the whole state.&nbsp; I look back to my original question and I agree with the moderator that I need to chat with the judge, because she is the only one who can advise me on the matter.&nbsp; I have come to the conclusion that anyone really can become an appraiser, but it’s a bit tougher to get appointed through the courts.</font></font></p><p><font face="Calibri"><font size="3">In response to jallengomez, it does seem that anyone can pick up a red book and assume they are an appraiser.&nbsp; In my opinion the best part of the red book is the info being mintage, and pictures; you have to take the pricing with a few grains of salt.&nbsp; It’s not even 2011 and they are about release the 2012 prices, and my question is how do they know what the marker and economy will be in one year.&nbsp; It’s also my opinion that the greyhen, green sheet, blue sheet and past auction prices realized are better indicators to a coins value rather than the red book.</font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
