If you are doing business why would you not have all the proper licenses to operate.....
Because most people aren't selling coins through a registered business.
If you have some stuff you want to sell, like old coins or stamps that your grandfather had collected, worth a lot of money. Do you set up a business and register yourself as a coin/stamp trader. Most people don't. They just get adds online to FB, craigslist or whatever and await someone to show up with the money.
