If I had known about your articles, maybe I would not have been "stung" on coins actually purchased in Dahlonega! Possibly in the future, I will read something that will help me to recover some of what I spent on these "unslabable" coins. Keep up what you are doing, because you are providing "real life" facts to us. Thank you!!! You have a fantastic way for providing information that can be understood by everyone.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every article I have read by you and feel your insight and advice is very special -- like a fine cognac! I love your inventory and hopefully one day I can find something special for my collection within my budget. But even if I cannot, you have left various clues in many articles of what to look for and I thank you for your brutal honestly. Happy New Year to you and your family! John Hi Doug,
