<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 380510, member: 4552"]This entire situation is useless. I've never had a coin purchase recorded anywhere and I've been a collector for well over 60 years. If a dealer anywhere even suggested that I leave a name, address, town or even country, I'd pass on that sail. I to to over 2 coin shows a month, sometimes many more and never seen anyone recording a sale. Even those that pay with a check or credit card there is no real record of what is purchased and the possible millions of times one person sells to a friend, nieghbor, relative, etc. there is no record of that anywhere.
