Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 03/25/2016 6:58 pm Hi. Not sure if this is the best place to post, so mods please move as appropriate. Anyway, I'm trying to track down a coin dealer who seems to color his/her 2x2s with a red Sharpie pen all the way around the edge (front and back). Most of the time, the 2x2s are holding ancients/medieval coins, but that may reflect more what I tend to collect than what this dealer is marking. See below for an example. Thanks!

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 03/25/2016 9:50 pm Ok thanks Penny Guy. I just checked them out and it appears as though they have no inventory for sale right now, but when they do it is all US and Canadian. I'm thinking that there must be another dealer than does this too.

Namssob New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 4:06 pm There is a dealer in the Midwest who does this - at the recent coin show in Fort Wayne, IN, I bought one. I already re-packaged it into my own holder, but all of his coins were bordered in red. I asked him about it and he said he's been doing it for years. He could have been from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, etc. Not sure. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 4:43 pm Ok thanks namssob. Was it the coin show on 03/20 at the Allen County Fair Grounds? Maybe I can track him down from that. The reason for all this is that I'd like to become a direct customer of his, rather than buying his stuff second-hand.
