<p>[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1604866, member: 41863"]This thread is making me want to become a 'coin dealer'. Doesnt seem too overly difficult to get started and establish yourself as a reputable dealer. I mean from most of the shoddy online sites ive seen and how over-priced everything is, I feel like I could definitely compete, but you are right it would take utilizing almost all resources available to you in order to make it. </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW i have retail and entrepreneurial skills, so i realize the amount of work involved, my biggest issue would be having enough knowledge about all coins, but even then i still see very uninformed sellers making it all the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ive been wondering about approaching my local guy and speaking with him about making a deal to remove his clutter coins and start packaging 'starter kits' of coins. Not like the ESTATE SALE GRAB BAGS from ebay, but like real useful beginner kits for young numismatists with a nice variety of things. Rolls, proof sets, IKES, SBAS, wheaties, flips, silver certificates, $2 bills, cheaper slabbed coins, early lincoln memorials, jeffersons, some sort of magnifying glass, choice of whitman (lincoln penny, jefferson nickel, roosevelt or mercury dime, and washington quarter), small silver G-VF examples of say dimes, quarters, and halves, etc. I think this would give me a feel for the market and establish my presence as well as gaining knowledge through inexpensive coin fodder so to speak[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
