To All the Flippers, out there...

Hi guys,
Happy Sunday!
Yes, To All the Flippers!


Which coins/Bullion are you unwilling to Flip?
Meaning, there are coins for flipping purposes.
Then, there are coins you buy for ONLY keeping them in your collection. Which ones are you holding most likely than others you are willing to sell/flip?
For me, they are the

Beautiful Libertads!

I'll TRY to keep these as long as possible. lol Although, one never knows when I might HAVE to sell?
Plus, there are those sentimental coins, of course.
How about you guys?
Plus, there are many others, such as this one.

Everything I have is for sale as in the biz. The quicker they turn the better. Coins / PM do not pay interest or dividends.

I am not a flipper.

I know this is a big part of the business. I have zero desire to flip.

My goal is to offer my clients the highest quality best eye appealing coins in my slice of the market.

A one stop shop for the best in my price range.

I hold on to the coins that have special meaning or sentimental value for as long as possible.

I bought this one at Rick's pawn shop when I was in Vegas as a souvenir!🥳

Presently I do not have the capital necessary for flipping. However, as currently I’m collecting cash ( too many folks here say it’s king not to give it a try). I am beginning to pass my normal reserves and becoming more aware of what I purchase and is it necessary, if not, back to stacking cash. 😁👶
We do have this….

Very cool to keep!
Unusual.

@WQuarterFreddie If that $80 dollar sticker is the price you paid for a 1 Troy oz silver round then you will have to keep it for quite a while. Or sell and take a loss.

$80.00? No wonder Rick has so much money to spend.

For my overly-entitled spendthrift heir, I'm leaving only one item from my permanent collection:

Thanks Joey! Been walking around the house singing this song ever since I saw your post.

One of my Libertads!

I have never been a 'flipper' of coins... I do sell some gold occasionally, but generally speaking, when I buy a coin, it is for my collection.... and there it stays. Though, some day.... Cheers, RickO

Great willpower, RickO.
I try and try, but it seems to bite me.
Which, isn't too awful.

Cash Back, baby!

90% of my cherry picks, are the first to go.
They bring the most profits.

Right now, I can honestly say, me personally.The keepers/flips are 60 to 40.
60% - Keepers
40% - Flippers

Really? Ya think? The OP asked for our coins that we have NO interest in flipping not the other way around.

As I clearly stated in my post the coin was bought as a souvenir from my first trip to Vegas not as an investment. Sentimental value for me is far greater than the price I paid for it.😎

Some time back, I purchased my first gold coin ... in a rare PCGS holder ... at a fair price. I loved the gold, but not the holder. Rather than return it to the seller with my lame excuse about a "loose" feeling doily holder, because that's how they come, I turned around and listed it right away on eBay. I inflated the price because I could. The flip took 20 days! $210 profit, after fees! This is my only significant 'flip', and it was by no means, premeditated. Edit- oops. Sorry, I misread the OP. Nothing in my collection is a candidate for a flip. I don't buy with that in mind.

Even bullion?
Or junk silver even? I constantly flip these.
Esp. when I win some Silver Eagles, Maple Leafs, low mintaged foriegn cartoonish coins? Or even when I coin roll hunt some half dollar silver!

@joeykoins, I don't own any bullion. I have my Grandfather's 10k HS class ring from 1931 that I would never dream of selling. That is my only gold. I have a small handful of 90% half-dollar silver that my mom paid face value for in the early 1960s. Again, I'll never sell.

I have sold off all of my absent-minded accumulations of junk, some at a loss, but I don't think of it as a flip if my ownership is years long, and I have no record of what I paid. I have limited means and I only have six PCGS-certified coins. This, after cracking out my G04, 1795 $1, because I didn't like the way it was positioned in the holder. Sometimes, I like to hold raw history in my hands. I have the TrueView and the coin. That's all I wanted, anyway. I have a relative who stacks silver. I enjoy conversations with him.

Oh? Great going. Keep up your frame of thinking. Very cool, too. This hobby is suppose to be that. Collect or do what YOU like, not what someone does. Congratulations on having your grandfather's ring. Must be a real treasure? Financially, as well as, sentimental.
Ever see something like this?

Cool Bullion!

25 individual grams of Silver. Each one , consecutively serial numbered.
Also, has a hidden security item when placed under the Black light.

Wow!
Beautiful.

Just about every coin I have is available for a price. Usually the potential buyer does not want it bad enough to ship it out.

I have no interest in flipping. I buy coins because I want them, not because they are priced too cheaply. Having said that, I'm in the process of a trade (likely involving cash) of the vast majority of my coins, but it is not how I define a flip.

It would likely be different if I attempted random cherrypicks or engaged in CRH. Not attempting to disparage anyone's method of collecting, but I have no interest in trying to find minor die varieties that some dealer has overlooked in series (and grades) in which I otherwise have no interest or searching 10,000 quarters looking for a "W".
