<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 25514485, member: 153164&quot;]I&#039;ve actually been in a couple of scenarios where I have sold a coin that I thought I wouldn&#039;t, but the main one is a Shield nickel that I sold for $6 (had 2 holes). However, selling one for $1,000 is quite the real deal! Especially in the 70s.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would definitely advertise that I would be buying coins, especially with my interest in about anything. Thankfully, an interest in about anything would hopefully help when I want to sell a lot of items.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It does seem like the Morgan dollars can take over coin shows if you don&#039;t watch. I hope that taking some half dollars to the party can loosen up the tight coin band a bit, along with possibly a slabbed Barber. The sad part is, a lot of the slabbed Barbers like the VF halves are often found at well over Greysheet.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Pricing raw coins and not falling in love with coins are 2 of the best pieces of advice I have ever heard! Honestly, I try to price my raw coins between 10-50% back of the Greysheet, with very few being priced differently.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if I have truly fallen in love with a coin before selling it, though, but it easily makes sense. While I try to be careful with selecting eye-appealing coins, it can sometimes get in the way of dealing versus collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The show mentioned in the post is November 23, but today I learned about a coin show in Indianapolis that occurs every second Sunday of the month. Hopefully if I go to the Indy show, it will be quite the experience!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>One good thing that I do continue to build on is silver coins. Most of my slabbed coins that aren&#039;t PR-69&#039;s are silver, such as Eagles, Franklins, etc. But, as I build on it, I am always open to new info - that&#039;s exactly why I came here for answers.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Underpriced coins can be one of the best ways, in my opinion. I always like giving people a deal, especially when I can get a coin a coin cheap enough to not just put the Greysheet in the window, but to throw it <i>straight out </i>the window.</p><p><br /></p><p>Getting swarmed by dealers is a good heads-up, though. I&#039;ve had little true experience with it outside of one in my coin club who is highly interested in slabbed coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
