Which Dealer has the largest dollar value of inventory in the industry?

Just a thought?

LindeDad · February 13, 2015 7:52AM

My guess Spectrum.

Monaco.

Rarcoa? Industry? I once asked the late Gar Travis a question about the "coin 'industry'" and he corrected me.

My guess

Lakesammman · February 13, 2015 8:08AM

RCWholesalers??

commoncents05 · February 13, 2015 8:11AM

I would guess Heritage.

eBay

Walkerfan · February 13, 2015 9:35AM

Does anyone remember 'the Mint'? I used to drool over their catalogs!

jdimmick · February 13, 2015 9:53AM

I think Heritage is heavy consignment, so I would say not them.

I also agree with lakes, rc wholesalers has a ton of high dollar stuff on ebay alone.

John Hamrick and Jack Beymer have quite a bit.

Our own Tom P has a good amount as well

edited to add, I am excluding bullion in my thoughts

You mean what dealer has the largest museum display?

<< RCWholesalers?? >>

I would go with this as largest active for sale inventory with published prices.

My guess would be Coin's and Things of Bridgewater, MA. Not only are they an authorized purchaser of Gold and Silver eagles (Just think what a pallet of gold eagles would be worth), they are also one of the few companies that supplies gold and Silver to the mint.

They have estimated revenues of 6.5 billion. I'm sure they have incredible inventory turn-over and incredibly thin margins, but I still think it would be a safe pick that they lead the industry in inventory value (at any given time).

Wow. That's cool.

About $10 million a year net just selling gold to the mint, if I did the math right.

...........The Mint..........Jay Parino and The Mint????????? Who could forget that company? I really liked those kinda guys like Hertzberg Rare Coins...I got some cool articles and 1933 Saint Gauden Double Eagle catalog, as well as, the Playboy magazine with the article on this coin. What a great time it was in those heady days of $1400. 1882CC Morgan Dollars and analogies of an 1885-O being 5Xs as rare as an 1881-S, but sells for only 2Xs the price.(Ellesmere) I just threw out all my old PCGS Pop reports that were so important back then. The Mint cool memories. Thank the coin gods we have all come back down to earth and just buy .75 ounce hunks of half dollar size gold in MS 70 for sensible $5000 prices.

........Heritage. edit forgot to guess who.

Ahh.....memories. I wish that I'd have saved some of those old catalogs of coins that I could never afford. Just imagine their worth in today's market! Those old prices would pale in comparison. I also enjoyed DLRC's monthly mailer with collector/investor tips----at least they are still around.

U.S. Mint

I agree with the US mint for now.

Agree.

Agree......they had some nice coins at the FUN Show. Held a 1795 Draped Bust Eagle in MY HANDS....PCGS MS66 Eliasberg. It's burned into my memory forever.....

RC Wholesalers certainly has the largest inventory of high grade NGC coins, at least in the series I look at.

I would think U.S. Coins is pretty high up on the list as well.

Baley · February 14, 2015 2:16AM

I'll browse rare coin wholesalers for fun, wow, do they have a lot of high end coins
