I heard an advertisement for a new coin appraisal service on the radio this morning...
Longacre

As I write these words, gentle readers, I am at the office toiling away. It seems that The Man is not satisfied with beating your very own Longacre five days a week, so he summoned me to the office on a Saturday for an extra special weekend beating. On the drive in, my mood was lightened when I heard an advertisement on the radio for a new coin appraisal service in the general area where I live.
Attached is a link below. The appraisal service seems a little different from a traditional appraisal service, and the advertisement made a point that the appraiser does not actually buy the coins, and therefore he is not biased in his appraisal. Also, it seems there is an option for an over-the-phone appraisal using a combination of asking which coins you have in your collection and then the collector providing scans, as necessary.
What do you think of this service? I have no connection to the firm, other than the fact that it is based near to where my estate is.

Maybe if you spent less time posting on the forums during the week, he'd give you the weekend off.

Something leads me to believe their accuracy may be a little offe.
2.No track record to see if they are legit.
3. Usually the less effort on your part, the
bigger the chance of a scam.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
wasn't he "appraising" coins also?
that was worthwhile.
<< <i>They might be perfectly OK. Check references. >>
they may be better than most
they are able to appraise a collection
by using a scan
for a fee of course

Hi everyone. I am David Conway, the owner of CoolCashCoins. I am thrilled to see that people heard the radio ad - thanks for all the feedback!! I have updated the site so that the ironic typo of "accurately" has been changed. I am a real appraisal/sale business, and I almost never buy collections unless they are of very little value (in which case it would cost you more if I were to list it for sale) or if there is a particular piece of personal interest for my own coin collection (I have been a collector for a long time).
I can appraise your collection or inheritance, and sell it for you if you wish. I usually drive directly to the location of the collection so that the owner will not have to worry about transporting it.
No collection is too large or too small. If you only have a couple of coins and don't want a full appraisal, I will often appraise them for free if you send scans.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please post here (or on my site) or feel free to give me a call. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
David
Have you ever visited the nearby Longacre Estate?
Edited to add: "Hi David"
Unfortunately, I have not. Why?
Just looking for some verification that he has a nine-hole course outside his back door.
I knew it would happen.
We here on the forums have imagined what the Longacre Estate is comprised of, but many, if not most, have never be favored with a first had, detailed description of its magnificance
