Business name choice... help
So I am looking to start a coin business and have been struggling with a name.
Trying to keep coin, gold, silver, and numismatics out of the name so as it doesn't draw obvious attention from mail clerks and other threats.
Is that something many of you considered?
YSP Sales is as generic as it comes, since I plan to do other items as well.
Looking at Georgia Secretary of State website name search... available names
Proof 70 is one I came up with.
My interests are Modern, Buffalo Nickels, Varieties, VAM's
Just curious if some of the forum members could lend some, whit, wisdom, and advice

When you mail a package for your business you don't have to put the business name on it. You could put your name or a code name. ICG uses "The Team" and PCGS uses "Polly C. Gillmore" on their packages.

"Black Diamond" who the Bison on the reverse of the Buffalo Nickel was modeled after?
Proof 70 sounds like a liquor store!3 -

I always think it helps to include your own name to generate name recognition. You could then consider some sort of generic addition. "Collectibles", "Numismatics", "Antiques", etc.

Georgia Ex-Change?
When I was in Arizona, we incorporated as Georgia Sonora Company so our customers could write checks, wire funds, or discreetly mail packages to us
30+ years coin shop experience (ret.) Coins, bullion, currency, scrap & interesting folks. Loved every minute!

"Proof 70" sound pretentious to collectors and simply dumb to non-collectors.
How about "Blackstone"?

I used to think that names and easy to remember phone numbers, etc. help a business. It doesn't really matter that much as long as the name is not a turn off.

When I did mine, I don't believe I took more than a couple minutes of consideration. The main thing was to be generic enough to not pigeonhole my inventory, considering my mercurial moves from one series (and even other collectibles) to another, but to the point sufficient to relate to the nature of the business. But if you distinguish yourself and are visible enough in the first place, people adapt to whatever name you use.

Is there a finders fee, LOL
Eagles are common in numismatics. How about your favorite color and eagle. Green eagle and black eagle for currency. Silver/Gold Eagle scream coins and are likely in use. You could also use your favorite adjective(screaming, flying, etc) to describe the eagle.
Fun project! I just used my initials for my side business and wasnt real original or creative.

Bargain Box,
Bargain Barn,
Something like that leaves you open for just about everything.
There is an antique store in Arizona called the Brass Armadillo.
Another called Timeless Elegance.
Another called Packrat's DenYou can pretty much pick anything for a name, just run it by us before you spend the money to lock it down
Nothing like a blind panel of Experts to narrow down your ideas.1 -
Yes, buying and selling collectibles.

Whatever name you choose, you can always ship to something basic. My business name is JK Coin Photography, but packages come to me as JKCP, JKP, JK Photogrpahy, or my name. Obviously this works with a PO Box; anything going to a store no matter the name will tip off a delivery person.
Of course, you could also throw thieves off the scent with a clever name like Recipient and Sender of Super Low Value Packages that Definitely Don’t Contain Coins or Bullion, LLC. Or RSSLVPDDCCB, LLC. Rolls right off the tongue.

To be honest, YSP Sales ain't that bad since you are expanding beyond numismatic items.

There's an old video game that's called Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished. First thing I thought of when I read the OP. Perhaps you could go with Ysp's Ancient Treasures.
