[QUOTE="Catbert, post: 782755, member: 12718"][b]You are "Tilting at Windmills"[/b] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilting_at_windmills[/url] You should first build a numismatic reputation before you start this venture - whether through your own scholarship or by affiliation with credible companies. Price is a relatively minor factor in why people choose a certification company. More significantly, the credibility of the graders in being able to grade accurately and to weed out counterfeits is most vital to the success of such a venture - both critical if one wants to protect their investment (along with their guarantees). Yes, the major companies charge more, but one gets more for the dollars paid. What do I get from you if I send you $5 + shipping fees? Since you are unknown and unproven, much less than the above. The above isn't meant to anger you - only to state what most would say is reality. Good luck to you in your efforts![/QUOTE]
