It's South to Virginia for The Richmond Coin Club Show
Richmond is a great destination, and one that we always look forward to. The city is rich in history, serving as the Confederacy's capital during the Civil War. It is home to half a million downtown residents, two major universities (VCU and Richmond University), serves as the present-day state capitol, and most importantly, is one of the best coin towns on our show circuit-bar none! It's no wonder then why we're so excited about this weekend's Richmond Coin Club's Coin and Currency Show. This Friday-Sunday venue is small in stature, but for us, BIG in results. We consistently have great shows here, and we have no reason to believe that this weekend will be any exception.
Rob and Robbie will both be present throughout the show, representing The Reeded Edge at their usual table. They will have a varied selection of coins, currency and collectibles on hand. Included will be many new purchases, the results of aggressive buying both in the office and abroad. That trend will continue at Richmond where we will be actively buying coins, currency or anything of value. If in doubt, please show your items to Rob or Robbie for their immediate cash offer.
PAN in Monroeville, PA had it's usual great turnout last weekend. What concerns we had that the market was on shaky ground were virtually eliminated. The bourse floor was bustling with activity, both wholesale and retail, for the full duration of the show. Even after some major corrections in the metals markets, PAN was an encouraging sign that grass roots collectors are definitely back in the marketplace.
Overall, both buying and selling were brisk in Pittsburgh. Once again, we concentrated on procuring collector coins, most under $500.00. As we have said previously, even the large firms that typically handle higher-priced coins and rarities, are taking strong positions in this sector of the market. This has put tremendous pressure on collector coins at the national shows, and relegated us to using regional venues like PAN to source this type of material. As you can tell from this week's New Store Items, from this standpoint, we were very successful. Please take a look-see around this and other areas of the store, as well. We probably have more coins, bank notes, bullion-related items and collectibles presently listed on the store, than ever in history!
We urge you to also take a look at our Vintage Die Cast Toys area of the store. Although this is less than a year old, it has become our second most overall popular area of the site, trumped only by coins. That's quite a statement for what was an afterthought only 2 years ago.
Stay tuned for both a coin and diecast mailer, both coming later this week. (If you currently don't receive either of our mailers, please click HERE to change that) Until that time, enjoy perusing the store and we hope to see you in Richmond this coming weekend.

BUYING!! BUYING!!! BUYING!!!!
The Reeded Edge Needs Your Coins and Bullion
Buying gold, selling gold, Buying Silver, Selling Silver, Buying gold coins, Selling gold coins, Buying Silver Coins, Selling Silver Coins??? If the answer is yes to any one of these questions, you need to read on!
Would you drive your car onto a stranger's lot and sell it for his on-the-spot offer? Of course you wouldn't.

When you think about it, the answer is pretty obvious. Chances are pretty good that these companies are underpaying you, and probably by a LOT! After all, somebody has to pay for their expensive television advertising. Who are these firms and where were they before the surging metals markets? You probably didn't know their names five years ago, and when the markets finally do correct, we're betting that you won't hear their names again until the next run.

Vintage Dinky, Corgi and Matchbox Toys Now For Sale on The Reeded Edge's Web Store
The Reeded Edge's latest trip down Memory Lane takes us back to those years of your youth. Remember receiving that new Dinky, Corgi or Matchbox model for your birthday? Do you recall the excitement of removing that brightly colored, perfectly scaled, heavy metal toy from its colorful picture box? Well, those days are only a click away as The Reeded Edge has added, what is perhaps, the world's most extensive selection of Vintage British Die Cast Toys to our ever-growing collectible inventory. Nearly every Dinky, Corgi and Matchbox featured is MINT/BOXED, with many scarce and rare variants included. These are not your play-worn eBay and flea market specials, but rather investment grade, truly collectible examples of some of Great Britain's finest toys from the 1940's, 50's and 60's..
If our initial customer response is any indicator, this just could end up being one of the more active areas of the web store. Please note, these toys are all one-of-a-kinds, so every item is sold on a first come-first serve basis. In over 20+ years of buying and selling antique and collectible toys, there are several models that we have never owned prior to this listing. These toys are NOT the same as coins. Once an item is sold, it could likely be years (or even longer) before we see or own another like it. Please consider this when contemplating your selections. If you see that special Dinky, Corgi and/or Matchbox that you just cant live without (and we're betting that you will), please call Robbie Jenkins in the office @ 301-724-0400 or on his cell phone @ 301-876-1332.
