<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Exchequer, post: 763221, member: 21087&quot;]Just curious as to what it would cost, in today&#039;s market, to buy the complete stock necessary to open a local coin shop. (Did a search here, found some good discussion on business practices, but only one brief mention of the inventory value: $300,000.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So say you wanted to open a mom/pop type shop and were not there to specialize in anything (except maybe state quarters <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.) You just wanted to have a good selection of US coins from, say, the 1850&#039;s forward. Of course your inventory would be heavier on coins after 1900 just due to the cost factor.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Not including bullion or gold coins. What would it cost to buy the necessary inventory of a &quot;well stocked&quot; coin shop, so that a collector could conceiveably come in and buy everything to have a type set back to around 1850? Just thinking of a shop that has a good cross section of all areas of interest in the US coin hobby. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks!</p><p>Scott[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
