Dealing with Michael was an honest straightforward transaction. This is a business which is unregulated and you really have no idea what something is worth. In many ways, it can be a stressful relationship because you never know who you are dealing with, if they have an ulterior motive or if they are creating a level playing field. I consider Michael not a dealer of coins but a numismatist. Numismatists are collectors, specialist dealers and scholars who use coins in object-based research.
