YN age 7 wants to know of dealers with sites with slabbed coins under $50

lava · March 10, 2014 3:25PM

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

3keepSECRETif2rDEAD · March 10, 2014 3:28PM

eBay, with a search under US coins, PCGS & NGC checked, with the max value also set at $50

Example: Washington quarters searched in U.S. Coins. Then check the box "quarters" then "Washington 1932-1998" then check the box under certification to "PCGS and NGC" then "Buy it Now" then check max value at $50: Link of Example search

Broadstruck, just a tad misleading website there. Thousands of coins in 2x2 flips and mint packaging (i.o., not slabbed). They do have many, many slabs under $50 however.

My comment to the YN would be this: just because a slab is under $50 doesn't mean it's a good deal.

Happy hunting, kid!

A "WTB" thread on the BST would be a good place to start.

Don't forget the World & Ancient BST, too. You can get some really cool world coins in slabs, cheap. Lotsa bang for the buck.

I have one or two. PM me.

I noticed today that bozarth numismatics has lots of great stuff in the low end line on ebay.
I would suggest looking at his coins and calling them up

they are one of the best in the industry to work with

JBatDavidLawrence · March 11, 2014 3:19AM

Call me old-fashioned, but the last thing a seven-year old needs to learn about numismatics is slabs.

If the kid is truly a grading savant that is going to make a living as a crackout dealer, he'll figure it out on his own, he doesn't need any help.

Not old fashioned necessarily.

My first impulse was, "why are we talking about 7-yr olds buying slabs, anyhow?" There once was a time when I might raid one of my Whitman folders if I needed some extra money in a hurry, but I don't know how that's gonna work with a slabbed Pres Dollar or a slabbed State Quarter.

BarberFanatic · March 11, 2014 5:26AM

To agree with a few of the posters here:

Bozarth Numis.
David Lawrence
Great Collections

These are terrific places where you can find the types of coins you are looking for, and each has an excellent and well-deserved reputation.

If a 7 year old has an interest in coins, and he/she happens to want slabs, I would not stand in his way. in fact, i would not discourage him/her in any form or fashion.

Positivity is the rule here, and encouragement. And some books and albums (and flips) might be in order too.

It takes awhile to line up your grading acumen with industry standards. Looking at coins in slabs is a great way to do that.

Seems to me that "grading" comes later with a 7-year old. At that age, "This coin looks better than that coin, don't you think?", makes more sense.

That being said, if the child wants a really nice example of the design to go with his Whitman folder of Wheaties, or Indians, or Buffalos, there's nothing wrong with that either.

lava · March 11, 2014 4:38PM

Thanks to everyone who responded. I work with the little boy's mother. I've asked her to help the boy become a member so he can participate. His excitement is off the charts. I'll also share with her the PMs I received. Thanks again.

My son is the same age and slabs work well as when he takes coins to school for show-n-tell the whole classroom fingers them up.

Hi i'm the 7 yr old YN that LAVA wrote about. I got into coins when my mom bought me my first two silver Eagles for Valentine's Day this year. I went to a coin show already and will go to another one this weekend. I can't wait to get more coins from the next coins show. I am collecting coins so much that my grandpa need me in 1922 peace dollar. I like Morgan dollars and buffalo nickels what year and mint should I get?

I get a big thrill when I find an old coin. The reason I like slabs is because when I grow up the slabs maybe worth a lot of money and it will stay clean.

thank you everyone for your responses

You are very LUCKY that you are interested in Numismatics at a young age! Shoot for the moon my young friend, you certainly have plenty of time to mix with your passion

Erik

Edit to add: You have a Very Very Cool Mom

Justlooking · March 12, 2014 6:19PM

Welcome! Reminds me of when I was 7. I had no idea what a slab was back then, however. I'd say this young feller is ahead of the curve.

Slabs do keep coins clean, that's for sure ...

Burks · March 12, 2014 8:54PM

Keep an eye on the monthly Bargain Bin topic in the US coin section. You'll often find modern (post 1964) graded coins there for $10-$25. Some months you'll find one or two, others a dozen or more.

It's a good way to get yourself familiar with grading tiers on different types of coins. I'll buy a cheap slabbed coin every now and then just to give myself a physical grade, rather than looking at a 2D book or picture.

Bossman88 · March 13, 2014 7:57AM

Welcome to the forum YN7
I have a few old coins I will send out to you as a gift.
Do you know how to use the PM function?
Maybe Lava can send me a PM with your contact info.
Always willing to help out a youngster interested in coins.

hchcoin · March 13, 2014 8:59AM

Welcome YN7! All 3 of my kids started when they were about your age. One of them collects circulated bust dimes, another collects silver eagles and my daughter dabbles in everything. My oldest boy sold some coins in the last few years so he could buy a paintball gun and also to help with snowboarding expenses. He used to go to big coin shows and worked as a page. A page helps out the dealers at the big shows by getting them food, handing out flyers, cleaning their cases and other odd jobs for tips. He loved it. He would spend the money he earned on coins at each show and amassed quite a collection. Have fun. Here is information on paging from the FUN coin show in Florida.

A Page is a junior member of F.U.N. between the ages of 8 and 21 who would like to work during the show to help dealers and show staff. Pages are a very important of the show. They can assist dealers in moving their inventory from the loading dock, or another entrance to the building, to their booth. (Pages are not allowed to leave the building.) They assist dealers in setting up and taking down their booth. Dealers can use Pages to clean cases or purchase food and drink for them if they can not leave their booth. Pages can assist in passing out flyers throughout the bourse floor.

I have repeatedly patronized Legacy Rare Coins in Murray, UT.

They have moderns in PCGS PF69DCAM that I have purchased and cracked to put in my Capital Holders for Kennedys and Washingtons.

I suspect that these coins were submitted to try for a perfect 70 grade, so they are likely strong for the 69 grade, if such a premise even exists.

I've found them very accommodating and have been able to put together handsome sets in the black Capital Holders for what I think is reasonable money.

Dennis88 · March 14, 2014 1:40AM

PM me your address. I'll get some things (supplies mostly) out to you in the mail.
