I felt empty and incomplete, until I accepted Russ into my life.
Couldn't resist! (Seriously, thanks for all the help you've given, Russ!)
You Suck! Awarded 6/2008- 1901-O Micro O Morgan, 8/2008- 1878 VAM-123 Morgan, 9/2022 1888-O VAM-1B3 H8 Morgan | Senior Regional Representative- ANACS Coin Grading. Posted opinions on coins are my own, and are not an official ANACS opinion.
I enjoy his posts, and he seems to encourage honesty in this industry. So he has helped me. The one coin I got on ebay from him was exactly as advertised and in a professional manner.
not to break up the love-fest, Russ once blocked my PM's and blocked me at eBay because i called him on his BS here and he got pissed. the tantrum he threw was actually a bit funny. he's changed since then and for those who have only been here for about a year or so you missed the "Full Picture" he brought to this place. he's human guys, better hold off on the beatification till he's dead, those are the rules.
He did a submittal for me and I also got a computer from him.
Russ can win a game of Connect Four in three moves. He doesn't wear a watch - HE decides what time it is. Russ won the 1992 World Series of Poker with the 3 of Diamonds, the 8 of Clubs, a McDonald's receipt and two Chance cards from a Monopoly game. He has counted to infinity - twice. They once tried to market Russ toilet paper, but that was a failure - it wouldn't take crap from anybody. He's a good guy and a good board member.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
<< <i>Simple question......is Russ the MvP of the forums? >>
Don't know about that, but he's certainly been willing to share his knowledge with me. I have to give my respect to someone who takes the time to do that.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! ~PATRICK HENRY~

Russ has sold many coins for me and I have purchased coins from him too. He is honest, tristworthy, prompt, and very professional. He also takes some of the best photographs in the business. I will continue to use his consinment business as well as his wealth of knowledge concerning coins. Great guy!
I'm fairly new here to the forum but all these endorsements of Russ makes me think I'm buying my coins from the wrong shop/dealers. Does Russ have a website? It's been hard to find a straight shooting dealer to buy from in my area. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Russ is a great asset to these boards.
He doesn't clutter it up with useless child like comments on every thread.

I heard he can walk on water but stopped because it was scaring the fish.
So he has helped me.

<< <i>Yes.
He's #1 in my book. We need a poll.
Is he Polish?
This thread sounds like an advertisement for the man. How can I use his services?

I'm pretty confident in saying he does not.

His knowledge and expertise has been extremely helpful.
He is one of the best in my opinion.
