Hypothetical ?

Does anyone know of a blind person who collects coins? I don't know if the hobby would entice a blind person to collect if they've never actually saw the art on the coins but maybe perhaps felt the details instead. Just wondering.

    I don't, but with all the slabbing, that would be harsh image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I don't now any personally, but I do now there are some. There have even been at least two blind dealers. (No they didn't specialize in ACG slabs.)

    Should slabs have braille on them then?

    Not necessarily, but it would be a cool, nobel thing if the companies offered some kind of option.

    It seems likely, and there must be some working as graders.

    That seems a little harsh, but I think there may be some truth to that.

    At least when my coins are involved.image

    That explains the fingerprints, grading by touch.
