Reader feedback:

"Secrets" is one of those books that can definitely get a person "re-enthused" about the topic, and I was able to read it in 2 days. I especially liked the pointers that were given about job #1 today, which is all about security and being discreet about what a person does or says with their valuables. Also some history including an image of a teletype machine from which the original greysheet had it's beginning in the 1960's.

The author shared some great personal stories such as the one about certain "experts" that made predictions to him at coin shows: in the mid-1980's that certified coins were never going to be any good for this hobby. -- C. Griffin
