<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 2548072, member: 10103&quot;]Little story.......the wife has a ring she bought many years ago that she wanted to get appraised.&nbsp; I did some research and found a fellow very close by, who was very highly recommended.&nbsp; I purposely went looking for negative feedback on the guy, but I couldn&#039;t find one bad word about him.&nbsp; We made an appointment to get the ring appraised by him.&nbsp; Our experience with him was delightful and very educational.&nbsp; He explained every aspect of what he did to determine a price for my wife&#039;s ring, and though the price was not what she (wife) was looking for, he made perfect sense regarding his determination.&nbsp; Everything was written and explained and printed out for us to show to the insurance company in the event the piece was to be insured.&nbsp; The guy spent over an hour with us and we were very pleased in our dealing with him.&nbsp; I inquired if he appraised coin collections and he said he did, but relied on a person out of the area.&nbsp; LI people are only interested in making money on coin collections, he said, and he did not trust any of the locals opinions.&nbsp; When he found out that I collected coins, and had been doing so for a good many years, he was ready to consider my opinions.&nbsp; He encouraged me to get into the so called business.&nbsp; I&#039;m not qualified, I said, but he assured me that I was, based on my love for the hobby.&nbsp; The wife has been on my butt ever since to print up some business cards.&nbsp; The appraiser said he wanted my first one.&nbsp; Too humble.&nbsp; I&#039;m incapable of making such a move, as I feel unworthy, but the bottom line is we (all of us collectors) do possess a great deal of knowledge.&nbsp; We all could maybe put a price tag on a collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
