I hope to sell old coins at the big silver and gold show that is being held at the conference center downtown. I started collecting and selling old silver coins when I was just ten years old. My grandfather got me hooked and he passed down his collections to me when he died. He knew that I would continue to grow his coin collections and also sell old coins that I did not need along the way.

I know how to handle selling old silver coins to other collecting savvy people. I remember watching a little boy try and sell a few old coins that he had somehow gotten a hold of and many of the collectors knowing full well that they were valuable were trying to take advantage of him. I stepped in and informed him and his mother that what they had were some very sought after coins that are worth a lot of money and they should research them before trying to sell them.

I guess that with my grandfather’s help, I was taught properly how to determine the worth of a coin before just taking it to a dealer and asking them to buy it. If this little boy and his mother do some looking in to the coins they have, they will discover that they could make thousands of dollars off of them.
