I don't know if it's just coincidence or what. Many of you know I have been buying and selling coins for over 50 years. Lately been getting lots of shipments in from same geographic area. It seems like 90+% of coins coming in are from California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona area. Last one confirmed is from NM where woman says she is facing forclosure. Sending some slabbed St Gaudens, early mint sets, etc. Rarely lately do I get coins from the East Coast or upper midwest. The pattern just seems strange to me. Any other buyers witnessing that same thing????? :thumb::thumb::thumb:
That is interesting - two thoughts, That is interesting - two thoughts, Those areas (you mentioned) are often miles between people and that could mean fewer shows or persons not hearing about shows that there are. In the east there are many more concentrations of people, shops, shows and availible larger dealers - people may be able to access these with less investigation or trouble. Just a thought or two.
