....because I can't show pics of my coins.

When my inventory is my collection, there's not much I can do.

    Bring it on Elwood. I don't care and might even PM for a price if I like one and you aren't too blatant about it.

    I'd love to. I don't thinK I should after starting this thread.

    Can I show some as long as I don't say they are for sale?

    I suppose I could take pics, sell the coins, then post the pics?

    Elwood: That's a beautiful original 1795 Dollar. I see that it's an AU - What numeric grade did it get?

    Post more!

    I don't see you banging your own drum in bunches of threads.

    I think most people can tell the self-promoters from the folks who just enjoy coins.

    I, for one, would love to see more of your coins.

    Elwood, it's fine to post pictures of your coins as long as it's not done for advertising purposes. Just don't include a link in your signature line or say they are for sale. Also if you have them for sale in the BST forum it is not acceptable either- I guess just use common sense and you'll be fine. mike image

    I don't know about anyone else, but anything is for sale in my collection for a price. You might not like the price, but that's not my problem. I would assume most if not all of you are the same.

    I'm not sure, but I am guessing most of you are dealers. I'm just a collector. This is your business. I would assume that anyone can make offers in PM. You can always say no. This is one of the unique things about our hobby (or area of expertise). I expect coins to be for sale here.

    Now post some pictures!

    I for one do not care if you make a post that says something like "I really like this or that about this coin" and then post the pic. It is different than saying "This coin is $X" and then post the pic. As long as the intent is to discuss coins and not sell coins, I have no problem with you posting your coin pics.

    Maybe I wasn't clear in my post. I am not saying that I am posting to sell. In general, I am not a seller. I am a buyer. My point was that if I post a picture and someone were to PM me saying I would offer a millions dollars, I would sell just about anything they wanted. You won't ever see me trying to sell on here. Sorry if I lead you to believe I would.
