TELEPHONES are a mixed blessing to an antique dealer. Quite often I am asked to value things over the phone which, as you can imagine, is not an easy task. Nor is it recommended that opinions given over a distance be taken as gospel. In the case of coin and banknote dealers, the job is a little easier, although the all-important subject of grading cannot, obviously, take place courtesy of Telstra or Optus.
