I'm looking to start my own collection - help needed


I'd like to build a nice collection, but don't have the funds to do so.

I'll accept both raw and slabbed coins, but I prefer high grade PCGS coins.

I know that the coin dealing industry makes a lot of money for some of you, so here is your opportunity to give back to an up and coming collector.

I will also need storage boxes for my new coins. Plus I'd like to take pictures of my new coins, so I'll need a digital camera too- a nice one, not some used piece of junk. Oh, and I also need a new computer so I can upload my pictures.

You pay shipping and insurance (I don't want my new coins to get lost in the mail).

Thank you for your support - I know working together, I can build a nice collection for myself.

    I"m looking to build a complete AU-58 certified type set. But I can't afford a draped bust, small eagle half dollar. I'm not asking *too* much, so either date -- 1796 or 1797 -- would be fine and appreciated!

    On its way. Watch for a big package via USPS.

    Good luck with your collection.
    Now that everyone is sending you their high-end coins in storage boxes, you will need a sturdy safe.
    Fedex just picked up my little 750 lb. package and it's coming to you via overnight delivery. Since I don't have an account with them, it's being sent........

    I checked the block that said "envelope" so it can't be that much. No need to thank me. Just enjoy.

  • Good luck in your collecting.
    I figured your going to need a real secure place to put all these items,
    so I have send a slightly used in excellent condition bank safe (circa 1920) truck freight FOB collect to you.
    It weighs about 2175 pounds.
    You might want to find a fork lift you can borrow as the truck driver doesn't handle the freight, the driver only drives it to you.
    Oh yeah, it's too big for a regular door, you'll need double doors to get it inside.

    Oops I almost forgot, the lock combination is 8-22-14-12-12-3
