<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2352978, member: 19463"]I'll point out that I have known many fine gentlemen (and a couple ladies) in the coin business who helped me greatly along the way and who I hope will remain in business for another 50 years (making some of them 140 years old). I have also a much smaller number of consummate jerks. I won't tell you what I hope for them because that would not be nice. I do admit that I am less likely to stop at a table at a coin show if the proprietor is wearing a tie and I am sure that my shallow discrimination has caused me to miss some coins I would have bought. Like coins, dealers come in many flavors and it is good that they are not all alike. We will find enough to spend our yearly coin budget be it ten thousand or ten million without having to support people not interested in our business. If you have had trouble with dealers, perhaps you have been shopping in the wrong places.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
