<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1986828, member: 29643&quot;]How is that brutal? The entire issue that Josh created was from him claiming to be something he isn&#039;t. He said he had to liquidate all his coins and close his business due to financial troubles and planned on returning to school this fall. Now he&#039;s back to saying he&#039;s a dealer. I don&#039;t think his name is the problem. The only reason I saw this thread was he posted about it in a thread I started. If he&#039;s a dealer, fine, he&#039;s a dealer. If he&#039;s not a dealer, fine, he&#039;s not a dealer. My issue is that he seems to flip-flop between the two, not in the sense of wearing different &quot;hats,&quot; but rather explicitly saying he&#039;s not a dealer, then coming back and saying he&#039;s a dealer again. Looking at the replies in this thread, it&#039;s clear that new members are viewing his opinion in higher regard due to his &quot;status&quot; as a dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Side note. Josh does have an online store, so I guess he&#039;s back to being a dealer. Here&#039;s where he is selling overdipped problem AU-53 to MS-61 heavily bag marked coins as Gem BU (MS-65 for those who don&#039;t use the Gem/Brilliant system of coin grade nomenclature):</p><p><a href="http://joshscoins.com/epages/9bd1c581-9a0b-4633-8ac3-022c579d9a71.sf/en_US/?ObjectPath=/Shops/9bd1c581-9a0b-4633-8ac3-022c579d9a71/Products/%22M%200009%20D%22" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://joshscoins.com/epages/9bd1c581-9a0b-4633-8ac3-022c579d9a71.sf/en_US/?ObjectPath=/Shops/9bd1c581-9a0b-4633-8ac3-022c579d9a71/Products/%22M%200009%20D%22" rel="nofollow">http://joshscoins.com/epages/9bd1c581-9a0b-4633-8ac3-022c579d9a71.sf/en_US/?ObjectPath=/Shops/9bd1c581-9a0b-4633-8ac3-022c579d9a71/Products/&quot;M 0009 D&quot;</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit #2: CoinTalk now has &quot;Dealer&quot; banners for certain members. I&#039;m not sure what the requirements are for qualifying for one, but LostDutchman has one. I think it&#039;s pretty cool to have official dealers identified as such. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
