My first coin sale,NGC walker,almost got what I paid for it!

sumner1984

I had a NGC ms66 walker 1941 I wasnt happy with cause it had 2 annoying nicks in the sun directly under 2 of the sun beams, otherwise it would of been a clean coin, worthy of cross over.I purchased it just over a year ago paid $165. I decided to sell it because I purchase more expensive coins now adays, i`m more confident .I went back to the same dealer ,wich I havent been to in about a year,and he paid me $145 for the coin .I was very pleased with this. It seems that coins do make good investments. Nothing in todays world holds its value like that . It seems the book value of coins (PCGS price guide,wich is for PCGS graded coins), is actually close to the street value afterall, but ofcourse it all depends on being at the right place at the right time also.

It's not that coins make good investments, but rather that you bought from a good dealer. You should name him so he gets the kudos he deserves.

Does anyone here collect Wacky Packs?

I used to buy wacky packs in the 1970`s, they were alot of fun, but I havent seen any since, except on the internet.Anyone know if Collectors Universe `slabs` wacky packs ??

I have some Wacky Packs from when I was a kid. Late 60's early 70's. Have about 30 left.
From what I read any printed on paper called "Camel" backs are worth more cash. I found a great
web site once that went through every series and the year they were made, products they made fun of and
paper they were printed on.
