February 14, 1997 Mr. Dale Williams Williams Gallery Inc. 29 S. Tracy Bozeman, MT 59715 Dear Dale, Please feel free to use me as a reference for your numismatic skills. As you know, we have known each other professionally and personally for the past 17 years. During that time, I have been very comfortable with your investment advice and guidance in the realm of collectible coins. My coins have appreciated as high as 400%, mainly due to your skill in selecting those pristine coins with a great desirability for other investors. My career in coin collecting and investing began after buying coins from a large Boston gallery, which had been profiled in the Wall Street Journal. To my amazement, two years later, when I had the coins re-evaluated by another coin dealer, I was astonished to learn that I had been sold over graded coins, some which had been cleaned and toned artificially. The Boston gallery is now defunct after other collectors and investors had pursued legal remedies. To the contrary, I was very pleased having my coins graded by PGCS to learn that the vast majority of the coins sold to me by Dale graded at the same grade, with the remaining minority split nearly evenly, returning one grade higher or lower by PGCS, which can certainly be accounted for by individual, differing opinions by other graders. In summary, I find your honesty, competency, and trustworthiness to be unique. I have given you free reign to invest my funds, as well as my children's funds, in collectible coins as you see fit. I am happy to recommend you to anyone who has an interest in collecting or investing in rare coins. I wish you continued success in your numismatic business; your quality coins and character speak for themselves! Sincerely, David S. McLaughlin, M.D.
