B & M dealer; I didnt make a fuss, but
... I really wanted to. I stopped by a coin shop while on a road trip- a place where I had bought a few coins earlier this year; since i paid his prices, I assume that it was a profitable transaction for him.

Re: How do you become a dealer?
<< <i>Iwog and Russ are both right. >> << <i>I too agree with Russ and IWOG. >> I think you guys need to go back and read my posts. I completely disagree with Iwog.

Re: How would you collectors respond to this?
Russ sed: get similar eMails and calls all the time. In every case I take the time to provide a little education about their coins and make suggestions as to how they should proceed.

Re: Is a Public Apology Needed?
<< <i>Example.. Russ posts a picture of the 1964 AH Kennedy in PR68DCAM he just makes at PCGS, and it also happens to be on E-Bay.
