GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/13/2018 9:03 pm Thanks all ... it was a good experience. As I posted above I made $700 profit on one coin, but did sell much more. After a nice nap and time to reflect... I am wondering how dealers can buy from me and resell for a profit. I do feel I made a profit on most of the coins I sold. A few that I did not were more based on silver value ... silver had dropped in price since I bought them. Now if I can figure out how to sell a lot of the common stuff ...

MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 10/13/2018 11:52 pm Great thread GR58 and congrats on the sales! I've set up at one of these local shows before down here in Missouri. I had the same experience with things selling that I really didn't expect. A lot of my details graded early copper sold like hot cakes. What type of coins were selling that you didn't expect up in Michigan? Report this Post to the Staff

I sold more Walkers than Morgan's The top being a 1946 DDR MS 64. Also quite a few proof sets. I was very surprised some slabbed Franklins did not even get looked at. And slabbed ASE's, also did not get looked at. I did sell some early copper .. I should have taken more. Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 10/14/2018 06:06 am Good to hear you did well GR58. I made the show, but had maybe five minutes. I was there in time for the 50-50 drawing, my wife was out in the truck, we had a full day of dealing with her vechicle issues and the horrendous service of - - - - Tire, so I couldn't stay and barely was able to look at anything. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff

Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 10/15/2018 10:45 pm I did good at Jackson as well. I sold a lot of collector coins as opposed to just a whole bunch of bullion, but there was a little gold, a roll of ASE, and some 90%. I also met GoldRush58, which was easy as he was the only dealer I did not recognize. GR58, I had previously been surprised by the complete lack of interest in slabbed Eagles. I bought a box of MS-70 Early Release NGC and it took me a year to sell them. I no longer carry slabbed Eagles. If you are up for another one soon, the Redford show has had a number of open tables of late. Call Hanna if you are interested in the Oct. 28th show. Report this Post to the Staff
