<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 372657, member: 1674&quot;]The best in the business are young guys, including names most people would hear and go &quot;who&#039;s that?&quot; because the people they work for make them rich and comfortable and there is no need for the young studs to have their names on the businesses.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The difference between this generation of young dealers (guys who are 18-30 right now) and the previous ones is that there is a lot of money to be made in upgrading borderline coins and the best in the business are doing that whereas in the past the young up and coming coin stars were opening their own businesses and placing ads in the coin rags.&nbsp; That business model is antiquated and the young dealers know it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the OP is interested in joining the up and coming group, his number 1 priority needs to be to learn to grade; and I&#039;m not talking about being able to tell a VF Morgan from an XF Morgan, I&#039;m talking about learning how to tell an MS66 Grant w/ Star gold dollar from an MS67 and how to tell the difference between an MS 65 and an MS 66 $5 Indian and how to tell the difference between a specimen bust half and a pl-ish business strike bust half and finally how to tell if that little bit of thumbing on Liberty&#039;s cheek will prevent the coin from holdering or will it be acceptable and the coin can grade.&nbsp; The good ones can and it is that skill set, displayed consistantly over time that differntiates the best from the next level.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
