Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 341903, member: 4552"]For real though here is a great idea and I just don't know why more don't do this. At one coin show I go to I started talking to one of the dealers that always has a pile of customers around. All are buying all the time. They probaby have more sales than anyone at the show. Maybe not the largest amount of money incoming but in one day they make enough that it pays for lots and lots. This is what they do. They go to the banks where they know someone and buy large amounts of rolls of new coins. They also send in for large amounts of proof and uncirc sets from the Mint. All proof and Uncirc sets are opened. All coins go into those little 1-1/2" x 1- 1/2" flips. Not the 2x2's. Then they put all those in those plastic sheets that hold about 20 and then into a large 3 ringed binder. All new coins are marked as just Uncirs or MS. No numbers. All proofs are titiled Proofs. It is amazing how many people need those loose proofs for albums. It is amazing how many people need new coins that they just can not find in change so they buy them. Most common, modern cents are about .35 to .50 each. GEE, see any profit there. Like I said they have the most crowded table at the shows they go to.[/QUOTE]
