<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1962025, member: 15199"]Welcome to the forum! There are some 'dealers'/sellers who are completely trustworthy just as there are 'buyers' who are, but that said there are those ( even on the forum ) that I would not buy or sell with, as they are not ethical for my dealings. You can't go by self applied titles of a big buyer, big dealer, expert, etc. It takes a while to determine if Joe X is what he says or not. Read the threads, and you will see, that many have their own idea of what is right and ethical. If you buy again on the street, take a phone photo of the guy holding the coin before you buy it. It will refresh their memory significantly if a problem comes up. Many see coin dealing as a fun money making hobby, but know very little about the coin market and coins themselves. There are experts on this forum , and there are wantabees, and most likely you will be very safe with the former. The latter may mean well, but may create problems for yourself. Take some time to read and learn before your next buy, unless it is reference material such as more coin books or PCGS/NGC authenticated coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
