Home Buy, Sell, & Trade - U.S. Coins

Can you help me with something? Do you have coins to trade?

OK, I had considered making this post for a while, but I had been hesitating due to being a little embarassed and not sure if this would irritate anyone in a "spam" sort of way (so I do apologize in advance if it does).

This is an effort by me to raise funds, for my personal cause as you can read about on my website. My idea is to begin with a less valuable coin and trade to someone for something more valuable...even if it's just slightly more. Then, possibly to make many more trades upward until I have a nice chunk of change to add to my fundraising. I could list your or your company in the donor's section if that is what you want, but don't have to.

Here are just some scenarios I have thought of...
1) You have a coin that you were going to sell on eBay and you want to help me, but are looking for a way to justify it to yourself-----Trade me the more valuable coin, then sell my coin in BST so that eBay will indirectly be paying for it by you not having seller fees from the coin.
2) You have had a friend or loved one in a similar situation and just want to help.
3) You have a coin you're tired of this is the reason you've been waiting for to get rid of it.

I must admit it took some courage to get this far, as I feel slightly embarrassed by having the site period, but a friend eventually convinced me it would be okay with most people. I will say that I would not be disappointed if no one replies, but that is okay too, we will see.

We could start out with one of these coins, or all 3:

    As noted in my PM, someone just proposed the same type trade up idea Friday, so he could eventually get C & D Mint (i.e. very expensive) gold coins. That was not well received.

    Your thread, while for a different cause, uses the same idea. I think you are better off just asking for donations through your web site.

  • You may have a good point. I guess I will wait a day or so and see what anyone thinks....I really hate seeming like a beggar
