Awhile back a friend of mine started talking about how he was getting into coin dealing as a full time job. I was never able to quite believe him, and then was just kinda baffled when he started buying houses and nice cars and boats and taking expensive vacations. Was he legit or was he dealing drugs? Is the coin game that lucrative?

Hmmm I mean it can certainly be lucrative but it is NOT a get-rich-quick kind of business. It's a get-rich-slow business if you know what you're doing and put lots of effort in over years. So I'd say I'm skeptical, but you never know!

I'm not sure I'd jump to the conclusion that he was dealing drugs, but it's certainly an option that he was...shall we say....washing his income.
