"9) Only one dealer had any more than one or two "off-brand" certified coins, but this single dealer had six cases chock full of every "off-brand" one could imagine. I have no idea as to his sales or to whom he sells his inventory."

sounds like centsles.

I passed on going to FUN as I was excited to go to The Coin Depot liquidation here in CA. Tried to get Bust Dollars, but, the competition for the was fierce. Hope I have better luck at The Long Beach show in a couple of weeks.

I don't think he has the guts to do shows, although he's in Florida. Done right, g048406, with a discerning eye like yours or Tom's, there are some serious upside flips to be found in third-world slabs. BTCNTH.

Great advice regardless of what grading service slabbed the coin.
