  1. CM I am guessing yours explodes in mega flash under the light? I have never seen a 67 Conder in hand, it must be something!

     

    Best, HT

     

    This was also the first I had seen that seemed to live up to the grade. "Mega flash" would be a good word for it. It looks brand new, save for the mellowed color; though lots of mint red shines from the centers. The late die state creates amazing rippled orange peel luster and starburst.

     

    The slab shot lends some perspective to the luster.

  2. I was at a brick and mortar shop the other day. He would not take a check, it was well under $2000 no matter what documentation I might provide, dealer numbers, business license number, etc.. Then I said I could pay cash and he said he would have to charge me state sales tax if I paid with cash. Finally I said I had a standard one ounce gold coin and he said that would work fine, he wouldn't have to charge sales tax. Does anyone know if this is legal for him to operate like this?

     

     

     

    If a dealer does not want to accept checks, that's up to him, and his rules should be respected, regardless of a buyer's credentials.

     

    An even trade should incur no tax, as no money changed hands.

     

    Cash deals have no paper trail, thus if he was going to charge you sales tax, he was probably following the law, rather than breaking it ;)

     

    ...assuming he wasn't just pocketing the money.

     

     

    If you are exempt from sales tax, it might be another story.
