My two cents about dealers

2007w Silver Eagles four 69's one 70 To start with I have a small coin business on the side. My monthly sales are about $1500. My wife tells me I will never make a go of it because I'm to honest. I don't sell junk or over graded coins. I no what it feels like to be cheated and ripped off and don't want to cause anyone that feeling. I buy and sell on E-bay, mostly raw coins. I buy only NGC or PCGS graded coins on E-bay for my self. Most all the graded coin lots and bulk buys are ripoffs, over g

My 2007 W Silver Eagles

The Eagles landed in Q.C. today My Eagles are almost done maybe tommorrow 7-27-07 I will find out the grades. My 2006W's were all MS70s Could it happen again. I for one sure hope so. West Point mints some excellent coins. My points total will get a boost with the new Eagles and my MS64 1922D Peace Dollar Later JImL4004

Auctions: I know something about them

you have to due your research to be successful In the area that I live in, local live auctions are way to expensive for me. Internet auctions I do very well. The frist step is to research the coins that you want to buy. On ha.com they have all their completed auctions and the selling price, same with E-bay check these and you will see how much the coins have been selling for. You will get an idea of what you should bid. Then pick out a number of coins with the auctions ending at various assen

Peace Reigns

Beautiful NGC 1922D MS64 Well I just couldn't stand it, not adding another coin to my collection until I got that elusive 1928P. I had promised myself that I would build this collection by getting all the key dates first, but have failed again. When I saw the 1922D MS64 I had to have it, the bluish color is out of sight. Now that I have had my fix I will again start searching for the 28P that has my name on it. If I don't find it soon, will I give in and get something else, no I will stay the

Thanks Ron

Certified coins only I checked out your 1928P all though It looks from the Picture to be F-VF it could be alot better It is so hard to judge by just looking at a picture. I won't buy anything on Ebay that is not NGC of PCGS for my our collections. All though I am an Ebay power seller and do buy raw coins on ebay but only for resale. I have found that Ebay is for Buyers there are so many coins for sale that the prices are diven down. In the area where I live the number of coin shops is very lim

In pursuit of Peace

Two new additions Well I just added two important Coins to my Peace dollar collection A 1921 and a 1934S the 21 is an AU and the 34S is a XF. Now I'm in search of a 1928P in AU-MS60. I just missed on a MS60 the other day in an Ebay action for a very reasonable price. I hope to complete my collection by years end. Then selectively up grade it. On another note I just sent in 5 2007W American Silver Eagles for grading hoping to get Some MS70s to help increase my points total. Thats all for now.

Grading ups and downs

My first attempt 50's to 61 second try 4 70's &a 69 I joined the Society For the coupon for the free grading. I didn't understand what the Society really was. I submited my coins not wanting to be to optimistic MS63's & 4's and maybe a MS65. Well I came right back down to earth when I got my 4 coin grades of 52-61 and my gem brillant 1934 peace dollar, my just maybe a MS65 was deemed improperly clean and was not graded. That was a low spot to be sure. I couldn't give up so this time I

Feeling out

How I support my habit!!!!! My flea market!!! I too have a small coin business thatI run in my spare time. I have a E-Bay store and regularly run auctions every week. I am a Bronze power seller. I have been doing this for over a year and actualy make a small profit. I have a load of fun. It is less expensive to all ready own the coin and have it graded than buying the graded coin. Said the so called expert. That is if your grading comes out right. Which we all know is the hard part. All the co
