Not Acknowledge Error Coins??

You would think. I have yet to lean in a particular direction. I definitely done see myself doing much dime roll hunting though. Lol As far as I can tell there's not much in the way of errors in them. I guess I have leaned a little, I find the whole idea of errors very interesting.

I understand how you feel. I've been running across some slightly toned Lincoln pennies lately that, to me, are very appealing to look at. I've also noticed that I like 1958 wheats because of the way the ones I've come across seem more....defined(?). So different opinions, yes, I can definitely appreciate both sides of the coin, so to speak.

 

I don't think I would want to totally reject anything, but I guess if it didn't have a value to me....

 

I'm partial to brussel sprouts, but I don't care too much for artichoke hearts.

Most dealers know what they have a market for. They have to draw lines as far as what they buy and what they have the time to even look at. As collectors, we do the same thing. It's not possible for dealers or collectors to do everything.

 

He may or may not actually deal with them. The OP did mention that it was a call, and a lot if not most shops kind of blow off random calls about value or errors ect since they get so many. It'd be a little strange to completely blow it off if he was standing in the shop without at least saying I just don't have a market for these, but over the phone from a random person that type of response is exactly what I would expect

 

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

Become a dealer ..Lol that's my best answer to you , start by edu action then sell at trade shows.. and such build relationships with pawn shops and other venues and you can become there go-to guy....

Offers to buy actually started rolling in as soon as the articles started showing up. Most offers were around the $2000 range. I did not sell because I chose to keep the coin and show it at several regional shows as well as one national show. I then retired it to the safe until I received a call from Chuck Daughtry of Coppercoin.com who had a client that offered the $4000. I never actually spent ANY time trying to sell it.

 

This thread speaks to my frustration I have expressed from time to time when newbies come on CT with "errors which are not", as if finding errors is the main thing in numismatics. I'm in year number 54 as a collector, and errors (MAJOR ones - stuff Fred Weinberg handles) are still only a peripheral interest to me. I'll stop and "lean in sideways" at his table (so as not to screen out serious customers) just to see if there's anything there that I don't know how it was created. It's to be sure I know as much about the minting process as I think I do, not an interest in collecting them. I like Fred. If you see a pic of Fred on the ANA's website about his (first in the series) Legacy Series interview, that's my photograph. That interview kindled more interest in how Fred acquires his stuff (fascinating in its own right), but it's never going to be something I care about enough to want to look at buying it.

There ARE error specialists, but they take up only 1-3% of the space on a bourse floor usually.

 

I felt that way too until I learned not to overcook the little devils. In fact, I think they're best raw.

 

You missed the whole point! It doesn't matter whether you tried to sell it or not. Who cares! The point is that dealers don't want to buy coins of any kind just to have them sit in their inventory for any length of time. Get with the program!

Yep, for them it's all about the number of turns of inventory. If they have to hold it, the necessary margin goes up. Which, by the way, means you get less selling to them and pay more buying from them.

Why do you think "wholesale business" is always discussed? It's about getting rid of stuff one dealer has and has no one to push it to, and getting stuff they have immediate customers for.

 

Raw artichoke hearts...you should come and visit, they grow around here, you could just gnaw one off the plant.

 

I don't waste the outer leaves. You just have to scrape the good stuff off the harder outer portion with your lower teeth.

 

Butter or Mayo?

 

Straight up, just like I take my Jack Daniels if the barkeep isn't stingy. At ANA shows, you gotta take your Jack with water if you want enough moisture to dampen a stamp. (Remember when we did that?)
