This Week's CCF Special Offer, And Is CoinSniper for Serious Collectors?
First of all, I have a special offer just for you - this week only! Scroll down to check it out.
So, is CoinSniper for serious collectors?
CoinSniper is a great way to have some fun, blow off some steam, and have a great time with part of your numismatic budget. For some collectors, that's $20 per month, for others it's $100 per week. All of them have a great chance of winning. Of course, the bigger the budget, the bigger and more you will probably win, but even people with small budgets win coins regularly.
CoinSnipers come from all parts of the Country (US only), from all backgrounds, are of all ages, and they all have one thing in common: they love coins and they want to have fun growing their collections.
If that's not you, that's JUST FINE! You have my full respect and admiration as a brother or sister coin collector. CoinSniper sure ain't for everyone. You have to be able to enjoy coin collecting and to be able to just have fun with it.
For people that want to relax and have fun and get stuff for their collection they wouldn't otherwise get, it's a great time. We all have a lot of fun!
I recently sold a rather nice Fugio grading Fine (a Newman 12-U for those of you interested).
Coin collecting for me as a hobbyist can be VERY serious. And stressful! When I decide I need a certain piece for my collection, I do all sorts of research. I look at the best dealers for the type, I pour over auction results and my vintage
Red Book collection to see trends in grades over time, I see what's coming up, what's on the market and I make a very careful decision how to proceed. For instance, right now I've decided I'd like an ex-Eliasberg coin. I've spent hours on the project already and haven't even hardly looked seriously! Still in the study phase on that one, I guess. After hours and hours!
CoinSniper throws all of that stress out the window. And I love that about it!
CoinSniper is for collectors that truly love coins and want to have fun and learn new things as they go. Many feel their dollars are better converted into numismatics than put in the bank. I have a number of serious collectors that come to my site just to have fun or fill holes in their collection they wouldn't otherwise get around to filling.
I've had a number of "silver stacker" types that come to the site because of the lure of silver or gold sold below melt and they'll see something interesting and manage to pick it up and suddenly have a new numismatic fascination, whether it be for Early Copper of
Seated dimes or whatever piques their curiosity that I offer them.
You know how you see something in the
Red Book one day and you think, "Oh, it'd be fun to get one some day". Well, someday just happens to come around on CoinSniper so you hop in and with a little luck and skill *poof*, it's in the mail on its way to ya.
Serious coins come up on CoinSniper and often they'll go into the CS Vault where CoinSnipers pick them up with a neat discount. Often, they sell at auction.
As always, I'm happy to answer questions as best I can.
I've already answered some here on CCF. Here's a thread that was started a long time ago, when CoinSniper was relatively new. I've worked hard to improve upon the auction model continually over the past couple of years to keep the fun up and bring the risk down.
