Move along. Not work the risk.

yep, I avoid any listing that has stock image. I want to see the actual coin I purchase. (unless they are reselling soon to be released coins from the mint and they use the mint images.)

Dearborn, is there any reason to buy a pre-release from the Mint on ebay, rather than buying directly from the Mint? I've never done it, and can't understand the reasoning of the buyer. Well, I guess if you're buying single coins from an upcoming Roll set or bags, it might make sense. I'd still rather buy from someone who has them in hand. |

That doesn't really explain why you'd buy a pre-release, rather than waiting until the items were in the seller's possession.
I can see an incentive from the seller's perspective...collect money enough to purchase from the Mint when it becomes available.

I recently bought a couple 2025 Peace dollar ms70s from a large retailer. There were no pictures of the exact coin. Thankfully they came and look good. I was ok with the risk on a modern coin but would not take the risk with older coins that may have toning, etc. |

Not usually, However, for my Dansco albums for quarters and the P/D Innovation coins, I buy or 'pre-buy' for the quarters and innovation dollars because I only need one for the album - and I don't need the entire roll to get that single coin from each issue. I do buy the quarter P/D rolls to put up on my shelf with the other rolled quarters still in the OGP boxes. like these (and I have been buying the boxed rolls for a very long time now and just don't want to open them for 1 quarter from each.  So I have a seller I have been buying from for years now and get one of their 'subscription for the coins I want. |

That's a nice stash of rolls, Dearborn. What will you eventually do with them?
BTW, are those vinyl albums on the bottom shelf?

Thanks Gary! I do have lots more of the boxed quarters than that - I was reorganizing them when that image was taken.
and Yes, that would be my vinyl record collection - I have quite a few of them most of them are first or possibly second pressings.

Are all of the boxes still sealed? Will you eventually go through them?
I have two vinyl collections. The newer one has a few hundred colored vinyl albums. I've thought about starting a topic in General Discussions but I don't know if anyone would be interested.

I also have a few of the newer PF albums too, I did manage to get the limited edition 'Blood' record - only 5000 of them are sequentially numbered. and a first press collectors edition of Deep Purple "Perfect Strangers" on purple vinyl. I nave never put a needle to this one  |

I remember you saying you were a fan of Pink Floyd. And your avatar speaks for itself. |
