  i think a successful coin dealer will be someone who is actively
  looking at thousands of coins a week and has an eye for the best
  ones. they will purchase those fine coins, at probably strong prices,
  but will be able to sell them at 15-20% profit because of the leg
  work they did to find them.
  
  sorta like mark i suppose.
