<p>[QUOTE="Sam Stone, post: 8407021, member: 110020"]By far, cointalk has been the most empathetic forum I've been able to find and I want to start by saying thank you. I have found I genuinely enjoy looking for are error coins and unique dollar bills. Unfortunately, I can only keep a few as being disabled means if I can sell what I find for just a very small amount above face value, I can contribute to the family's finances. I've collected a few bills with unusual serial numbers (ex: 2017 $1 bill, serial no. 00020240) and star notes but I have failed miserably when I would post these things on eBay. I can virtually copy a successful sale's verbiage and only get 2 or 3 total views. I can also offer a star note in pristine condition and not get a $1.01 offer. Clearly, I have zero experience with coins, selling coins, or eBay. So, keeping in mind I would almost take the 1¢ profit, but 2¢ helps the family twice as much, I have 2 questions: 1) is there a magic formula for selling interesting things, and 2) is there somewhere I can purchase a "demo" sampling of error coins? I have some coins that look like the photos online, but I can't be certain. For example, I wouldn't want to unintentionally deceive anyone by not knowing if a coin truly is double die or if my eyes just aren't that good. I absolutely can't understand die cracks. I've studied and studied but I think if I don't have an example in my hands I just don't know. My disability is a nuisance, and depending on the day I may or may not be able to retain what others learn much easier.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'll stop here or I could write a 10,000 word essay, but be assured any and all input is appreciated more than I'm able to put into words. I wish you all the very best and thank you for your time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
