Been getting a lot of emails about how to liquidate coin collections lately, so thought I’d finally put out a piece on it in case it helps anyone else out there too :) In a PERFECT world whoever inherits these blessings would continue building out the collection and passing it down through the generations!, however we all know it’s not the most sexiest […]

“My favorite things aren’t things any more” – Courtney Carver Last month I almost did something crazy. I almost gave away my entire coin collection. That’s right – the guy who only has one main hobby left, and created an entire blog dedicated to these historic beauties, almost gave up collecting entirely. Why? Well, as odd as it sounds, my collection was the last remaining […]

If someone were to ask you the one thing you spend a lot of money on that you probably shouldn’t, you’d know the answer right? It would take you approximately 2.3 seconds to come up with? Well, apparently for me it takes about 23 minutes. I was recently asked this question on an upcoming podcast* that’ll be dropping soon, and I literally had NO answer […]

By now most of you know how much I love me some antique stuff. Whether it’s sexy coins, baseball cards, books, baby prams, or any other interesting collectibles I come across at yard sales and thrift shops. Most times I usually look to add stuff to my own collection, but others I’m out on the hunt for items to flip and (hopefully) make a tidy […]

I hit up my second ever coin show over the weekend, and as I salivated over all the rarities I could only DREAM of acquiring one day (some of them were in the tens of thousands of dollars! For just ONE!), my eyes – and wallet – were struck by one coin in particular. An old 5 cent nickel piece which looked to be gold? […]

Do you know how HARD it is to bring in 5,000+ coins to a changer machine? And then wait there hearing the cling an clangs forever and the machine breaking every two minutes while you’re back is trying to recover? Haha… It’s a good problem to have I guess ;) Although to be fair, it wasn’t *true* spare change like my previous trips to the […]

Every time I get change from this place, they hand me back all kinds of crazy money. And sometimes it’s not EVEN money! Haha… Now don’t get me wrong, I find it both hilarious AND entertaining as I get to then learn about all this new stuff they send me, but jeez – it’s just so random? And goes to show how different local mom […]

A nice change from last month’s $3k decrease :) And almost all the increases come strictly from the stock market going up up up… But always better than down down down! (Unless you’re on a buying binge – in which case you celebrate!) You hardcore readers might also notice one of my old categories is gone now too – that of the “gold and silver” […]
