Your site looks real good to me. Just add some more inventory and you'll get more people looking. More selection=more customers=more sales.

Was it hard to set up?

I noticed a couple coins were not centered in the pictures, maybe you can retake them so they are centered. There is this book that I really liked because it helped me take better pictures of my coins. It is called: Numismatic Photography by Mark Goodman. The prices are pretty good though. Wish you the best with your endeavor.

I love that SLQ I purchased from you ;-)
I agree, keep adding inventory and take the best pictures you can. Your site looks good. I have asked ecrater for some more color templates, I want black! For now, I think grey, being a neutral color, is a good choice. Also, FAQ could answer some folks concerns .

Your inventory is now -3. Order forthcoming. Consider consignments? Or an auction option where you collect 5%? WOW! that was fast & easy.

Looking good! Was it hard to set up? Have you sold on ebay? I'm wondering how they compare.

We actually use a scanner for our coins, rather than a camera, and I think it actually shows up better, I.E.

Starting-Up-My-Coin-Website

We are currently using a Canon that came free from Best Buy with the purchase of a new computer. Also (and the people on here will hate me for saying this), but with fair pricing, I think you might have to think about raising your shipping rate (at least if you are using paypal). Other wise, looks good, keep playing with how you take pictures, and you will start to find tricks to make them look better and better with practice

oh, and one more thing, we have found that customers would rather see pictures of the coin outside of a flip as the plastic can sometimes hide flaws. I would definitely think about it for your higher end items

Great site!

How about adding an International category, say Crown sized silvers from various countries in VF grades

If you're a coin dealer, you can't go wrong buying a few pounds of assorted world coins and sell them by weight or region.

OK! I guess my question is taboo. I must have asked about a half dozen people now and have yet to get a response.
