<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1364662, member: 23885"]I spoke with a buddy of mine on the phone. He is a longtime Army buddy and we had each other’s back in Afghanistan. The guy is 10x smarter than I could ever pretend to be and I trust him. We both got out, but instead of trying his luck at poker, he went overseas as a blackwater contractor for a few years. Made some good money, and invested wisely. Now he owns a scrap gold/coin shop in Richmond VA. I do believe business is going quite well for him. He is respectful, and I trust him. What I am going to attempt to do is link up with him business wise. He is the rational mind, and I am the dreamer. </p><p> He recently sent me a 1837 Feuchtwanger’s Composition one cent which I am going to submit to PCGS for him. I told him I would do it for free, and he sent me a bust half as a gift. Hopefully I can get him to join this forum. The crazy business idea I had for an online pawnshop was out there. The even crazier thing is that I could have had the funding for it. Spoke with a couple of different funding analyst, did a risk assessment, and sat down with an underwriter from the credit union. Surprised that it was that easy to get a 100k loan. I actually backed out because the plan was pre mature and a close friend said it would be possible to get a grant for the SBA. Anyway, it would be nice if we could have a sit down/meeting of the minds and combine our business ideas. I'd like to do the numismatic side and let him handle all of the scrap/bullion. We also share a passion for war memorabilia. Humphrey if you are reading this, let’s make it happen. ~Jason</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]159970.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]159971.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
