If JK writes an auction description at Stacks-Bowers I believe it. If George Huang tells me a coin is right for me then sold. He is pickier then I am and his taste level is impeccable. There are many collectors and dealers on these boards I trust without question. It's been earned. I can't be everywhere at once so a network of knowledgable and understanding dealers and collectors works very well for me. Besides it make collecting all the more fun.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    I trust those who know how to grade and are consistently objective and truthful in their advice.
    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    Mark Feld was my favorite dealer. Always an honest answer. Wish he was still dealing.

    Mark was a great dealer and still offers great advice. In a group of excellent dealers, Mark's advice still stands out.

    For me that would have been Don Willis when he ran Premium Numismatics before taking the President's post at PCGS.



    Running in second place is Gary Adkins

    So true. Professionalism and expertise, a quality product, and honesty in your business conduct are the benchmarks of any successful business model.



    Three sources account for all but two coins in my WLH collection.

    There are several very trustworthy people here that I would, and have, dealt with....

    I would have no doubt about the coin/product I purchase from these individuals.

    Cheers, RickO

    OK I agree with you on that but I have never found that person. I thought I came close this year but it turned out to be just like all the other dealers I have dealt with.
