You must have many restraining orders.

I suppose Steve was joking (it is not always obvious) but I wonder if some of us would benefit from paying an expert (probably not quite David Sear level but there are dealers whose opinions I would value) to drop by our place and look at all our coins with the task of pointing out the ones that might need a higher level opinion and the ones that we should stop worrying about. I have no idea who would do this and how much would be fair to pay them. Obviously this would not be something for a collector with 100 $50 coins and would be done free by someone like Bruce McNall for the Hunt brothers just on the theory that they might buy a few thousand worth of things he happened to have in his pocket.

When you buy a new computer at Costco, they include a number for a nice English speaking tech person to hold you hand setting up and transferring things. HP offers a service with monthly charge where a complete idiot can talk to a 'Smart Friend'. In coins this needs to be in person, perhaps from a local coin club. I hope no one will be kidnapping David Sear anytime soon or we are all going to be in trouble just because we know where Manitoba is located.

 

At least not till he sends me a report on that Nero.
