It's a great name, to begin with.
Nicely laid out too.
Change your term "penny" to Cent, that will bother some. I would suggest a more uniform photo layout than you have now. For example the two Mercury dimes you have in your inventory, one has a large obv and a PCGS TV, the other just NGC slab shots. Different formats do not look professional, more like just cobbled together.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Why were you banned from the Forum in 2014?
It's THAT guy. Lots of skullduggery under his last (banned) handle and the one before that (also banned).
Sold coins at 5Xs markup, claiming rare and desirable toning on average coins, such as Buffalo nickels.
I think his run-in with Greattoning is what caused Richard Abrams to leave.
The different pictures are because PCGS, NGC, or CAC did not have picures so what you my see is my iphone as best as possible. Will change the penny to cent
Thanks for the input. Appreciated
Gee I come to discuss coins and get this. Sad day!!

Stand by for the vulgar and threatening PMs from the OP. . .
What is an OP?

OK, what coins was @vcavo discussing when he was banned in 2014?
I only see one post about a Lincoln autograph from that account, so either the other content was deleted, or he was posting from another alt account at the same time.
I was just lightly trolling him because of his post in the Q&A area.
I have no idea whatsoever what his various alts posted but he immediately rubbed me the wrong way with some posts on the CAC forum recently. I don't find it hard to imagine him being banned.

Yes, I wasn't assuming you would know the answer per se, but replying to your comment was a good springboard to ask the question. I'd be interested to hear the answer if anyone else knows.
Why worry about me and not the content of my thoughts here or at CAC? What's wrong with this question on the CAC boards;
Yesterday, I received a large box from CAC containing two coins. At approximately the same time, I received a FedEx envelope from Heritage containing three coins. Heritage charged me $21.49 to ship its envelope containing the three coins.
CAC’s invoice charged me $40 to ship my two coins. Because that amount seemed unusually high, I took the unopened CAC box to FedEx and asked what it would cost me to ship the same box using the same service. FedEx quoted me $31.95.
I assume CAC may have a discounted shipping agreement with FedEx because of its shipping volume, although I recognize that this is only an assumption. Nevertheless, CAC’s $40 charge is higher than the retail price FedEx quoted me and substantially higher than Heritage’s $21.49 charge for shipping about the same number of coins.
I appreciate that CAC wants to package shipments securely. However, this amount of packaging may be more than necessary for only two coins. Many dealers operate on narrow profit margins, so controlling expenses such as shipping is important.
Would you please review the $40 charge, explain how it was calculated, and issue an appropriate refund or credit if I was overcharged?
Thank you,
This was my second thought on the CAC board...
I assume it is faster and $24 vs $35. I'm guessing at that but.... thoughts?
My third thought....
If you are a dealer , how are sales going. Dealer to dealer selling vs to clients? More for CAC? Is it harder to sell NGC, PCGS CAC? High end vs lower end? Toned vs white? what is going on in the real world?
What part of the rubbed you the wrong way?
After being beat up on the CAC post, my last post was.....
I contacted my excellent contacts and they have resopnded;
CAC responded directly and asked that I not share the private message verbatim. In summary, CAC explained that its shipping labels have a base cost higher than $21 because of the secure packaging and insurance it uses. CAC will continue shipping coins in secure boxes with tamper-proof tape rather than envelopes.
My question has been answered, and I consider the matter closed.
Perhaps because, using a 9 year old alt account, you are suddenly introducing a new website where you want to sell us your coins?
The whole thing seems odd...
I guess no one else has a website selling coins so I thought I would create the first one.
