Coin Dealers-What Do You Do?

I see a major problem no one has really mentioned. Rachums107 is 16 years old. I know in my state you have to be 18 to own your own buissness exc. also customers might not take such a young man seriously. Don't get wrong I think owing your business is a great idea but you do need to be the proper age and enough capital saved up to start and run your business correctly. If I walk into a shop with little to no inventory I never come back. With the creation of the Internet coins are no longer as hard to find as they once were. You can find any coin you want.

We old fogies sometimes have a negative view of the world. Personally, seeing a young man so interested in starting his own business is enlightening and refreshing to me.

I wish this young man great success.

As a youngster I would hang out in the next town at a hobby shop and chat with them. I would be sorting through nickels and a buddy of mine would be going through the Half Cents with the 1/200 on the reverse. We asked all kinds of questions and wanted to open our own coin shop.

So I say to you learn all you can. Start saving and earning money. and like others have said check out other venues to get your feet wet. ebay and other ways to try it out.

I work a full time job and do collecting/ selling in my spare time. Now a days you don't need a brick and mortar store front to have a coin business.
