<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vroomer2, post: 1245208, member: 80251&quot;]Buying and selling coins involves a relationship between a buyer and a seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>In some cases these relationships are mature, have been going on for years, there is a history there.</p><p>In other cases, the coins walk in off the street by some unknown wanting a quick $$$ for the stash.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chances are, you&#039;re somewhere in the middle with a coin dealer in your area.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Given those relationships, the best you can do, as a collector trying to get money out of his collection, is to put your coins up for auction. That takes time and the auction house gets a cut of both sides of that deal.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, <b>a &quot;problem coin&quot; is a problem to sell</b>. There is something &quot;<i>wrong</i>&quot; with it that will make a buyer turn and run. Collectors want problem-FREE high grade coins. That&#039;s what sells. That&#039;s where the money is made.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to collect &quot;problem coins,&quot; you should find good deals out there. I saw a type set where all the coins had holes in them. Pretty nifty looking. Not my cup of tea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
