[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3014030, member: 36230"]We now live in a country where certain people cannot be questioned or even disagreed with without others calling the motivations of those doing so into question. Unfortunately, one group of such people can be veterans. Do notice how he was sure to repeatedly emphasize this as well as provide other claims designed to portray himself as the very picture of legitimacy... "[I]Member of ANACS, ANA, NGC, PCGS Collectors Club, and Veteran owned business[/I]. [I]Licensed and Bonded Dealer and Contractor in the State of California[/I]." This, along with the entire story about his "dad" and how the coins were supposedly stored/found is quite simply intended to promote buyer confidence. Obviously his intended market isn't the experienced collector, but the novice and/or gift buyer. As sad as it is, the guy regrettably deserves some credit for his marketing approach.[/QUOTE]
