<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1784042, member: 36230"]If you would not buy them because you do not think they are not worth the time and effort to sell, that's fine, but such low value coins can offer returns in other ways. For someone who claims to have repeatedly tried his hand at coins as a business, you would do well to understand this.</p><p> </p><p>Place some nice detail, yet low value, late date Buffalo Nickels in an antique mall or shop and see how fast they get snapped up, even if priced at a couple bucks a pop. Another idea would be to place them in flips that have your business info printed on (or attached to) them, and hand out to anyone who shows an interest in what you do. Believe it or not, such small and seemingly insignificant gestures can, in the long run, be great for business, (depending on your targeted clientele) and help to bring new blood into the hobby. For someone in your situation who has been unable to sell coins profitably, it may be worth your time to start thinking outside the box. Instead of trying to buy on ebay and sell to dealers, perhaps you should slowly try to build a customer base of collectors who may or may not have the time, knowledge, or desire to hunt down the coins they wish to own.</p><p> </p><p>Regardless… there is no reason to possibly confuse a new collector by spewing personal opinions that intentionally have nothing to do with the question asked.
