Boxes And Boxes Of Modern Coins

Cladking, I have hundreds of Clad Mints sets going back to 1970

This site does not allow me to send E-mails, and I'm not sure I can post photos

Thanks for the interest

thanks Jbuck ... I already am handing down things to my grandchildren (6) of them
I'm already scouring the sets for special finds
I'm already reading up on every coin I come across
As indicated above, I've caught the coin bug, but need to feed myself as well
Appreciate your input : )

Not sure if I am picking up on your replies, but you seem bitter.
I do hope I am wrong with that.

There are two basic to coins.
As a hobby
As a business, or at least to make money.

Most of the long time members here on CCF are in it for the hobby.
As with most hobbies, most of the time you don't make money on
the collections that are put together. If you are collecting cars, guns
or knives, for example, when a collector decides to leave the hobby
they don't alway make a profit of what they collected. Of course sometimes
they do ... But more often they don't.

In my opinion here we mostly like to share our collection. It is good to see
how and what others are putting together. We post pictures when we start
or finish a set of coins, and look for ideas what to do next.

One of the hard things to learn about this hobby is how to buy and sell.

Local coin shop dealers are a important part of maintaining the hobby.
But they have a lot of expense to keep a shop open. I don't know how a shop
can make it by buying coins at only 30% back of greysheet.

Just think about it, for every 100k in business expense a shop has, if they
we're paying 10% back of greysheet, they would have to do a million in
sales just to make expenses. Most coin shops do not stay in business
because they can not do enough sales.

About anywhere go to sell your coins there will be a cost to do it.
Online sales or auctions, they all want their cut. Even if you find another
collector to sell to, they will want a deal.
-----------------------

Most dealers try for 50% off bid, 30 is not a bad offer. They have to eat too.

Show us some pictures, sounds like an interesting collection.

Sorry ... that effort did not work

I'm working on it
