I thought I would throw this out there, if any of you are collectors of US coinage. My father and I have been working on this for quite some time now and have just started to pick-up some business. Take a look and, by all means, opinions welcome.

lots of peolpe do actually, it isn't the same change that you get at the grocery store



A grade of 70 means it's flawless, Proof means it has never been anywhere but 1 end user



The population of how many proof 70 coins are known is what makes the value fluxuate



That specific penny is one of 40 known in Proof 70 ultra cameo (high relief)

I thought those things had a market value, whereas you'd have to buy them at market, then hang onto them for some time to sell them for a profit? How do you get your hands on so many 'perfect' coins with enough buying power to turn a quick profit? It would seem to be exceedingly difficult.

It is a crapshoot at best, being an NGC and PCGS dealer (grading houses) and being a memeber of the ANA helps, Networking and/or buying bigger amounts of coinage gets you in contact with dealers all over the country, then multiple companies buying in HUGE amounts of bulk and sending everything out for grading, then basically cross your goddamn fingers! lol



Everyone has thier nitch, no one aside from my father and I have the balls to sell only perfect coins as the majority or our business, and thankfully people are beginning to eat it up. Grading is a big expense as well but customers are willing to pay for all of it in the cost of the coin, the less than perfect coinage that we get back from grading (69 or lower) is sold to other dealers slightly above cost so we still make something off of those as well. It is set to be very successful if things continue steadily...

honestly?



Ditch the site and forward the domain directly to the ebay store OR load the ebay auctions into a frame OR put some things for sale on the site.



Also, use an email address @yourdomain.com for wutever reason people feel more comfortable with that.



I dunno where you have it hosted, but if you cant do the forwards at your current host let me know we can work something out since you are a supporter https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

My father has countless amounts of wheat pennies.



I have a 1943(or 44) Lady Liberty(or Mercury) dime. It is in great condition, only the side's of the coin is worn.



Also have a 1905 Indian Head penny in flawless condition. Not even worn out.



Also have a unknown year Buffalo Nickel. It is worn a whole lot unfortunately.



Not even sure of the value of them. Maybe you could tell me.
