The Reeded Edge Prepares for Whitman Baltimore Expo!
Come See Rob & Robbie at Table #307

June 13, 2013 - Despite June historically being a fairly slow month for the coin business, market activity remains very steady.  This is a trend that we are hearing from many other dealers as well.  Wholesale trading at Long Beach was exceptionally active for us, as dealers were generally aggressive.  We understand that the auction bidding was strong for nice coins and that the public turnout for Long Beach was exceptional for the summer show.  The buying side of the market remains active, although the amount of quality material coming in has slowed somewhat.  We attribute this to the strength of the market, as a majority of coins are being sold to end-users and going off of the market for the long term.  Despite this, we continue to work diligently to add new material to the webstore each and every week.  We urge you to peruse all of our most recent purchases to see how we have been doing.

This week, The Reeded Edge has a nice selection of brand new purchases, including a group of new certified Indian Cents, Morgan Dollars and other collector coins.  We just picked up a blast white 1893-CC Morgan Dollar, PCGS MS-62 and fully struck, as well as an 1889-CC $1 NGC XF-40 and much more! The focus of our new items is on quality, affordable collector coins.  The majority of our new coins in well within the budget of the average collector.  You can view all of our most recent acquisitions by visiting our NEW ITEMS PAGE.  As usual, everything is a one-of-a-kind, so please call Robbie Jenkins in the office at (301) 724-0400 or on his cell @ (301) 876-1332 to reserve your specific selections.  

Next week, The Reeded Edge will be heading to Baltimore for the June Whitman Expo to enjoy the country’s best crab cakes………and to conduct some business as well.  We will be set up at our usual Booth #307 from Thursday June 20 through Saturday June 22.  Public hours for these days are Thursday from 12-6PM, Friday from 10AM-6PM and Saturday from 10AM-6PM.  As always we will have an extensive inventory of coins and currency for sale, with many new items!   We will also be aggressively looking to purchase inventory and fill want lists, so be sure to look for the large BUYING!!! BUYING!!! BUYING!!! signs and offer us anything you have for sale. NOTE: Rob and Robbie will be arriving in Baltimore on Tuesday, so if you would like to schedule an appointment to meet with us prior to the show, please call Robbie on his cell phone at (301) 876-1332.

Baltimore Phenomenal! The Reeded Edge Returns from our BEST Coin Show of 2013

March 18, 2013 - Anymore this year, when Rob and Robbie walk into a coin show, they're expecting good things to happen. Baltimore exceeded this normally lofty goal ten-fold. There is no single way to accurately describe last week's Whitman Coin and Collectible Exposition. So instead, we would say these three things: Expectations were high. Expectations were immediately met. Expectations were ultimately exceeded. The Reeded Edge headed to Baltimore Tuesday night, and began trading coins immediately upon arrival. That trend continued throughout Wednesday, and by the time that the show officially opened Thursday morning, our certified inventory had been reduced from 10 1/2 boxes to 4 1/2 boxes. By the show's end, The Reeded Edge bought and sold well in excess of a half a million dollars worth of coins. As has been the case since the beginning of this year. the coin market remains hot. This Baltimore show will be remembered as particularly good, better even perhaps than the quintessential January FUN and February Long Beach Conventions. Of course partial credit has to go to show management. After all, these are the folks responsible for getting dealers and collectors alike through the front doors. Our hats goes off to the entire staff at Whitman for another job well done.

Name Your Price! From The Reeded Edge

With the impending fiscal cliff on our minds, or at the very least, constantly in the news, it seems that value has become the word of the day. Whether you’re a collector on a budget or an investor seeking opportunity, price seems to be the common denominator. Generally speaking, if the price is right, the item probably will sell. With that thought in mind, The Reeded Edge is introducing our new Name Your Price! program.

Name Your Price! allows you to make an offer for any item in inventory with a suggested retail price of $50.00 or more. If you like saving money, this opportunity is definitely for you. Put your best foot forward, because this is your chance to name your price on a wide variety of coins and collectibles.

Click HERE to open up our current coin and collectibles inventory list. Then, click on a listing to view a detailed item description along with corresponding images. If you like what you see, return to the master list and click on the Name Your Price!  button to the right of the original listing. This will open up a email template where you can enter both your offer and your contact information. Once we receive your offer, a decision will be made within one business day, and in many instances, in just a few minutes. It really is that simple.

Every offer is seriously considered and weighed carefully. We evaluate many different factors including our original cost, what comparable items have recently sold for, frequency of the item’s appearance, rarity, desirability and overall quality. We then carefully consider your offer against each of these areas and try to make a fair decision. Consequently, not all offers will be accepted. But, if your offer is close, we’ll let you know, and in some instances, may come back with a counter-offer.  We encourage you to take your shot and make an offer-You have absolutely nothing to lose!
