    Anyone who I see here on a regular basis, has been a forum member for awhile, and has a fairly high post count is in my circle of trust.

    Circle of trust members would send another person within the circle of trust an expensive coin or the cash to buy one and then not worry about it or lose sleep over it. The key word here is TRUST.

    Even a newb could quickly enter the Circle of Trust as long as they remember to treat every transaction big or small equally to the same level that they'd personally like to be treated.

    I wouldn't hesitate to send you a check for a coin since you've been here long enough to earn my trust.

    I'm sure it varies for everybody a bit.
    There are definitely members here that I would trust a coin with. And, I know there are some members here who trust me as well.

    There are folks I would trust on a coins condition/authenticity as well. To me, if buying raw, that is part of trusting someone.

    In God we trust, all others pay cash. My circle of trust, those to whom I would send an expensive coin without payment first, is extremely small. So small I can count them on one hand.

    Over time I spose we all develop our own ideas from references, etc. about who we trust and who we don't. To me it isn't about whether the coin is expensive or not, but the man's word. If he says the coin or check is in the mail, then that is what I depend on and of course the way in which I expect to reciprocate.

    I think your level of trust says a lot about you. If you demand a check clears from someone who has been here for along time without one negative transaction tells me maybe there is some reason not to trust you. When Mark Feld worked for Pinnacle he sent me on approval a thousand dollar coin. A very trusting person and one of the most trusted persons here.

    I have to agree with the Bochiman. Few people get along with everyone. Some people can't get along with anyone. So the circles probably all look different from one another.

    I see a new 'law' being formulated here:

    As the value of the coin increases, the radius of the circle of trust decreases

    $=a x r

    where 'a' is a constant of proportionality.

    I'd have to say that this forum is my circle of trust. Not everyone of course, but I'd have to say that some of the best, most honest people I know are right here on these forums.
    My dad and grandfather taught me that a man's word is everything. Trust is crucial to all relationships - from working acquaintences to your spouse. I have found that the vast majority of the forum have the same ethic and that's reassuring. I appreciate you all.
