rujam Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 08/13/2006 6:28 pm Can anyone tell me when the next coin show is in Knoxville TN.? I am going to try and sell my 1878 8tf PCGS MS63 VAM 20! I think I would get more for it at a coin show, but I am hoping there is a show soon, because I need the money soon. Hope this was not out of line, but times are hard and this is my favorite coin.

fengk Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 08/13/2006 6:44 pm I think that you may have just missed the knoxville coin show (well, at least according to their website.) How far are you willing to drive for a show? There's bound to be some in other cities. Also, like TLS said you can just sell it here in the sell section. Hope things work out for the best for you.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/13/2006 6:57 pm At a coin show, you'll be selling wholesale to dealers who intend to turn the coin for a profit. I would suggest that a coin show is the worst place to unload a coin which you want to get realistic money for. Put it on ebay, with a Reserve, with nice pics, or consign it at Heritage.

Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 08/13/2006 8:14 pm Yep, dealers are in it to make money for themselves not for the people they are buying from. Can't blame them though, for most if not all, that is how they make a living and pay bills. Edited by Irishraider 08/13/2006 9:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 08/13/2006 9:09 pm I have to agree that you can definately sell a coin for more on ebay than you could at a coin show for the same reasons mentioned. Another thing if you haven't already sent in back in to PCGS and have it attributed I would also do that because it seems once the "pro's" say its a specific VAM it automatically becomes worth more even if you show every picture of each attribute showing the buyer that it is indeed a specirfic VAM. I had the VAM-16 that I had on here unattributed on ebay and showed the attributes clearly on ebay and it wouldn't sell for 200.00 (which was my starting bid) I sent it in to PCGS for attribution and it sold for 350.00 on ebay within 1 hour of placing it on there and that isn't even a TOP100 VAM, the only thing that caused it to go that high was PCGS has started a Major and Super VAM set in their registry and people are looking for registry coins already attributed, or they are looking for the major rip which they know its a VAM and the guy that owns it doesn't and they buy it for regular price of specific date/mint mark (excluding the VAM) and then they can get it attributed and it be worth double that amount or more Edited by Bryan1315 08/13/2006 9:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
