Tips for Old Coins
I had an unusual situation today. An elderly gentleman (about my age) brought 7 gold coins to the shop. He asked me if I’d give him $30. for the lot. They were crusty dirty, and looked like junk. They turned out to be $20. gold pieces. As much as I wanted them for $30, I told him they were worth much more than that price. I called a reputable coin dealer in Charleston,
and he said they were worth well over $1000. But, he said; don’t clean them up, it turns out that coins are worth much more if not cleaned up. Off the old guy goes to the coin dealer. Anyway, moral of the story is; don’t clean up your old coins as they’re more valuable in their original state.
