i was curious, and you dont have to answer of course, but when a score like this walks in, does this make your day, week, month, quarter?

 

I work on volume... Lots of small gains. On the $5 Indians I made $30 a coin and kept 4 for certification. On the $2.5s I made $20 a coin and also kept a handful. Not glamorous... But it allows me to consistently beat my competition and get a shot at every good collection that is for sale in my area.

 

Sound exactly like how I run my business selling lots of quality at a short markup is the best way to succeed in this economy I've found regardless what your selling

 

cool thread!!!

 

When I arrived at the shop yesterday, a guy in his late 40’s was waiting at the door and showed me a William Moulton 1776 New Hampshire token he said he found in an old house he was remodeling. I’m not an expert, but it sure looked real, well circulated, maybe a VG to F. An internet search found it could be worth around 25k, but there are many fakes out there. So I told him we’d have to get it certified to realize anywhere near that price – he was shaking as he said he’d have to think about it and left. Next week I'll bring the camera to the shop so I can get some pics if this comes back or anything else nice walks in.

 

That'd be awesome if it was real and it can easily happen a friend that sometimes works for me on early houses a few years ago found a oak tree shilling in the sill of an early house in Yarmouth Maine is at least xf maybe au I can't get him to sell it to me tho I hope that nh copper is real would love to own one someday

 

This walked in a couple of weeks ago and just got back from CAC.

 

hmm - I used to restore old houses - did it for 20 years. If I had found a valuable coin in one I would have assumed it belonged to whoever owned the house. Maybe that's why the dude was shaking? A quandary or an ethical dilemma. If it turns out to be real perhaps the owner of the house will share the spoils with him! If the house isn't his and he sells the coin without the blessing of the owner - well ......

 

Very nice.

 

Actually on the oak tree house he'd bought the house as a dissasembly and salvage job was taking it apart for the timbers and lumber so anything he wanted was his and the rest to be bulldozed I buy a lot of trim and moldings from him and also hire him on jobs I need extra help installing interior woodwork in if he's available so in that case being a salvage job I feel there was no moral delimma he'd bought rights to anything he wanted to take from the house this was a bonus if he hadn't found it (was between the sill and foundation) it'd have been bulldozed and likely lost forever
