I am a hobbyist dealer/collector. That means selling coins is as much fun for me as collecting them, possibly a little more. While this isn't my living, still merely a hobby, I take great care in grading my coins as precisely as possible within American Numismatic Association grading standards.

Coin grading, though, is as much art as it is science. If it were all science, we'd have the "automatic computer grading system" that was much talked about in the 1990's. Slide the coin under the scanner, wait for the grade on screen. Can't be done; too many variables. So the human eye (sometimes several pairs of human eyes) still do the grading. I do it as carefully as I can.

I stand behind my sales and follow all professional numismatic standards: full refund for any reason. I am a member of the American Numismatic Association (#3121760), the American Numismatic Society (#12593), and the International Association of Silver Art Collectors (#707). Additionally, I do my own photography, and if I've had to tweak a photograph for detail or lighting, I'll tell you so in the listing.
