in Buy, Sell, & Trade - U.S. Coins
Hey everyone...new to this...my son John Marburger (coinlieutenant) has been urging me to get involved in this like I got him involved in coins...so here I am. Looking to build an 1872 date set of Proof and Mint State coins, all denominations and mint marks. Some of the tougher coins will have to be in XF 40. If you have any that you would be interested in selling let me know. Thanks, Art

    image to the forum. That has to be the best looking seated coin I've ever seen. Hope you can complete your 1872 set to match that dime. That would be something. image

    Glad everyone has met my dad. Make sure that you take care of him and only sell him things at wholesale or below.

    And yes, I am helping him put together his date set, so he is my client...and yes he is paying me!! I know...I am horrible son.

    Trust me, I'm not charging him much for the service.

    Art, welcome to the forum. I have been chatting with your son about coins lately. He's a great guy!

    Regarding your 1872 Dime, it is obvious that you are looking for an upgrade. I will start looking for an MS-69 or MS-70... image

    I think he would be happy if I could get the dreaded two cent piece that I told him was a business strike into a MS holder as we have been talking about.

    I was right about the dime crossing at PCGS as well as his shield nickel but I have "dropped the ball" a bit on the two center...

    Hello guys, Yea John is only charging me about a 40% mark up. He says that is really fair considering all the work he has to do. Hope you guys get as good a deal as he gives me!! He has actually done really well and has hit the mark everytime except for the 1872 2 cent piece PROOR or MINT STATE...that is the question. Art
