A friend of mine recently got a coin appraisal for his collection and the price was surprisingly low. This was especially distressing since he wants to sell his silver and gold coins online. I suggested that he go to a couple of more dealers, and what happened is that he got much better numbers. We set a goal of getting the coins appraised by at least six people, which we did, and the average price we walked away with was exactly the kind of profit he was looking for. He has since taken that knowledge and applied it, even recruiting me and some other friends to help out. We are now a team of four, and as his business has grown, so have our hours. We are actually starting to get a little excited because this may end up being a profitable little gold and silver business. You never know who you will end up partnered up with in business.
