Jeff: I totally understand the impulse buying and I have many, many coins that I simply paid too much for. However, it is such a great hobby that taking a small loss is pretty cheap for having so much fun! Thanks for sharing this video and I am really glad I found your channel and now subscribe. Cheers.
I buy and sell a lot of antiques/collectibles on Ebay AND I have a sizeable booth area at an antique store. I'm really NOT attached to anything that I sell. When it comes to my personal sizeable coin collection, I can't get myself to sell any of them!! Quality Numismatic Coins are getting tougher and tougher to find at reasonable prices in today's world!
Rule of thumb to make money is to watch the market and don't sell Unless you really have to because trying to flip coins like cars is a bad and risky at best. Build a collection and keep adding to it and have coins you will not sell no matter what and keep building and building because to replace you will always pay more and all the work was wasted getting it is gone and its not a collection anymore just a fancy swap meet. I used to buy and sell back in the day and it almost never worked out so I gave up and built a collection I can then pass on and because I held instead of sell its worth more then ever and only growing over time and when I give it to my son then all he has to do is just hold onto it and will keep growing in value because collections should stay with collectors and there families who love the coins and history not the dealers and auction houses who take the money for not doing almost any of the work.
I don’t think these were “flipper coins” and they were buyers remorse or ones that he no longer enjoyed. I would definitely recommend selling the collection and passing on the money unless the family loves them. If they don’t then they will likely sell them for a far less amount then a experienced collector could get for them
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I was looking at several different silver half dollar commemoratives last night and noticed their pricing seems to be down. Maybe it was just the coins I was looking at, but have you noticed that only certain areas of coin collecting are experiencing price increases? Thanks
Good point on the commemoratives. I have noticed some are down, or definitely not up. I might do a video coming up on the series that are not doing well recently.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing the results.

I just bought a Hawaii commemorative. Prices are up from a year ago when I first started my search.
