Reputation  is  only  a  candle,  of  wavering  and  uncertain  flame  and  easily  blown  out,  but  it  is  the  light  by  which  the  world  looks  for  and  finds  merit.Public  relations  is  about  reputation  the  result  of  what  we  do,  what  we  say  and  what  others  say  about  us. We  are  to  remember  that  it  takes  20  years  to  build  a  reputation  and  five  minutes  to  ruin  it. Money  is  a  mean  of  payment,  that  help  us  to  live  well  and  enjoy  our  life.The  worst  thing  that  can  happen  to  a  man  is  to  lose  his  money,  the  next  worst   his  health,  the  next  worst  his  reputation. A  bad  reputation  can  keep  you  from  countless  opportunities,  a  good  reputation   can  lead  you  to  them.  People  always  look  for  skeletons  in  your  closest.  But  nobody  raises  his  reputation  by  lowering  others.

Reputation—A good reputation is an enviable honor. It cannot be bought, sold, traded, or otherwise acquired part way through life, or in the midst of a business career. It is elemental, and exists or does not exist at the beginning. A good reputation grows. It starts with the first person to whom you are known or with whom you deal, and expands throughout your career as you come into contact with more people. It must be maintained at all times or it ceases to exist.

I enjoy numismatics, and my pleasant dealings with the increasing number of you who write to buy or to sell is a constant inspiration. I buy and sell coins on the basis of fairness and my best judgment of value to both parties. If you have coins to sell, I will be pleased to buy at a price which reflects the true quality and value of your material, and will pay cash immediately. Your correspondence is invited.
