Title: Relic/coin trade etc
Post by: Grondgeralder on March 05, 2013, 08:40 AM
Seems places like E-bay and Bid or buy provides quite a haven for collectors.

Everything from old coins, toys, trinkets and even  ??? Bullion.

Perhaps one day there would be a relic sub catergory. Might be a good idea for a noob like me to invest some time into propper procedure for handling relics to retain value. You don't wan't to accidentally scratch or crack something you find that could impact it's value.

I imagine how some coin collectors have hard times collecting a certain date range of coins. You never know weather an old rusty copper could make someone dish out the cash. Like this one cent:

If anyone have one of those useless veldpond coins, I'll take them off your hands for free.  ;D
