Trading Material???

MrEureka

Sometimes, cash is insufficient to extract coins from other collectors. Sometimes, you need to have things that they want.

Do you have any coins that you are holding hostage, expressly for the purpose of trading them to other collectors that have things that you need? I do.

Such As?

It's all on the Darkside. But if I collected certain US coins - errors, die varieties, colonials and tokens come to mind - I'd probably do the same.

I have slowly come to accept that some of my coins are expendable for trades or as partial payment for a more expensive coin. Now that I concentrate on copper, most of the other stuff is fair game.

Basicly, everything I have is "Trading Material". It just depends on what you've got and whether or not I want it bad enough.

Yep! As matter of fact that's what I'm doing with a 1986-2005 PCGS MS69 SAE set. No takers thus far (d@*n milk spots ) but the idea of trading seems far simpler than selling what you have and then buying what you want. The problem arises in finding that one person who just happens to have what you want and vice a versa at a value you both agreee on.

I've got a ton of it.

Anything that's really difficult to find but usually pretty cheap is great for trading. It can
be almost impossible to pry some coins out of collectors' hands unless you have something
they want just as much.
