    The perfect coin dealer is as rich as Warren Buffet and cares not about making a profit, but only wants to get a maximum quantity of high quality coins into collectors hands for dirt cheap.

    The perfect coin dealer sells only coins that will perpetually upgrade.

    The perfect coin dealer smells wonderful like fresh flowers and clean babies.

    The perfect coin dealer has a nuclear power cell in their heart. This avoids the necessity of eating bourse food and also avoids bathroom trips.

    The perfect coin dealer knows what you want before you do, and got that coin from his network of other perfect dealers just in time for you to buy it.

    The perfect coin dealer will buy back your coins at twice the price that you bought them for.


    *sigh*

    I will satisfy myself with existing human coin dealers.

    Integrity, knowledge and patience. In that order.

    He would have a CAC tattoo on his forehead.
  • The dealer should always be friendly... and only speak to those collectors who want to be spoken to and wait to speak to those who want to be spoken to only when they are ready to be spoken to...

    and this perfect dealer will ALWAYS have in stock examples of EVERY coin ever made... in every single grade and have multiple examples of each grade... slabbed by each major grading service as well as raw... toned and untoned... with no varieties noted so you may cherrypick to your heart's content... AND all the coins are priced at bid or less... AND this dealer will be able to handle 20+ plus customers at the same time so no one ever has to wait...


    ...and I guarantee that there would be at least one collector at every show that would find something to complain about... and at least ten collectors won't find what they are looking for... image
    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image
