This is my personal website.
I am just a coin collector myself, probably like most anyone reading this.
I have sold some coins, but it isn't a job. It could be at some point during retirement, but that is a ways off.
LCS stands for Local Coin Store.
With most of coins being purchased online and instead of in small LCS, you miss some of the discussion. That is what this site is.
That and a tool for collectors.
Knowledge is key for collecting happiness and success.
Lots of great places out there that provide the basics and the advanced aspects of coin collecting and numismatics. Not so much for the market data.
You see a lot of price guides. I see a lot of potential BTU's as the only value there.
We will be talking about price or value quite a bit and I intend to have data to back it up when we do. I'd even be willing to run a custom data search or two and share that data if asked and motivated properly.
Anything is fair game though. Politics, lots of talk about politics in a coin store. We are all lovers of liberty deep down so politics is a natural discussion. Being my site we will be talking about things I enjoy talking about. Sure coins are the big theme, but conversation tends to wander in the LCS when looking through a coffee can of junk silver looking for gems.
Conversation will wander here too.
You will probably here me talk about data and Python. It will feed most of the actual news to this site in terms of reporting. I love politics and liberty. You could call me a libertarian type for sure. Probably talk a bunch about President Andrew Jackson. You will probably here some talk on Ohio sports, fitness, diet, and basically anything.
No limits to the conversation topic wise.
I will limit it to a family friendly type of discussion so no fears of clicking on the site while at work or with the parents looking over your shoulder.
Anyway enjoy and let me know if you have any useful links, resources, or tools for the site. Even just coin shops. I don't charge to list those coin dealers, I list them because either I have dealt with them or they have been recommended to me by someone I trust in numismatics. I list them to help myself and readers like myself. Don't take them as an endorsement and do your own due dilligence, but when these links were added, those dealers were all legit dealers that are an asset to the coin community at large.
