Message:: [QUOTE="SFDukie, post: 53944, member: 2529"]Hi GP,I definitely wasn't trying to criticise you.I'm not sure what I would advise someone with 10,000 coins in a collection that they had been accumulating over 20 years, and which included coins of which higher grade examples can be counted on one hand and are worth well in excess of $100,000, and who was very sophisticated in their knowledge of grading shorthand, yet who posted a couple of times and are replied to by Al Gore, who manages to get banned on his first post, on the same day that someone else who collects SLQs on their first post links which refer to a tropical island where ASEs circulate at face value.  That is what I am trying to get at.I would probably ask them how they acquired such gems.  After all, if one has a coin for which no finer examples exist, and knows that no finer examples exist, don't you find it a bit strange that they know how to buy such a coin, but not how to sell it?  I'd probably recommend something other than the usual good advice of reading the redbook and photograde, and recommend professional help of numerous varieties.  And I'd know that they could afford it by selling their $4000 coin to ensure that they got top dollar for their 120,000 coin.  I'd probably recommend a good tax attorney as well.[/QUOTE]
