Who's helped me build my collection by buying my collections.

As I have transitioned my collection from raw accumulation to pristine slabs, one of the most helpful dealers has been Bill Hussey of Fort Lauderdale, FL.

I found Bill via an ad in the back of Numismatic News promising to buy any/all foreign coins at fair prices. Now, never having dealt with Bill, I monitored his continuing ads, googled his business name, and generally did as much as possible to determine his legitimacy. The first group of coins I sent Bill were some Portuguese State Mint Offerings (Age of Discovery Series) as a test to see what he would offer. Bill came through with a very fair offer and gained my confidence with a nice included letter in the envelope. I think I sent him 7 or 8 large groupings of foreign coins after that with each offer always exceeding my expectation.

Since I plowed all his checks back into slabs, I estimate about 1/4 of my current collection is directly attributable to his return checks. I will no longer need his assistance but I will always appreciate his honesty and integrity.
