Buying

Be assured that you are dealing with the same trusted reliable buyer since 1979. That is a long time to have a stellar reputation. And let me tell you that it required a lot of hard work and determination to achieve that distinction.

After closing my physical location, Sansom Coin Exchange, I still buy and sell coins and bullion.

Of particular interest to purchase are collections and hoards of gold coins, silver dollars, silver and gold bullion, modern issues and everything in between, including paper money. Collections and accumulations are of high interest. This is in addition to the foreign coins of both foreign exchange and numismatic value. This is the same stuff I have been dealing with for the last forty plus years. And remember all payments are immediate with absolute good funds. In addition, traveling to buy is no problem.

If you have anything, or any questions, pick up the telephone or send me a message.

Please remember that all transactions are strictly confidential.

Selling

Please contact me for any of your needs. I am quite competitive in price and quality.

Forty plus years as a professional numismatist.

Appraisals & Consultation

If you have a question that needs an answer, or requires clarification, just pick up the telephone and call and you will speak directly to an expert, (that’s me). You will benefit from the experience of more than four decades in the business. For those of you who know me, and have dealt with me in the past, you know what I am talking about.

Coin Evaluation

I can provide a verbal or written apprasail of your coins. Ideally we would need to examine the coins in person to provide an accurate response. If that is not possible we can examine photos provided via email to give you a range or idea of the condition and value.

Facilitate buys between two parties

Having built a vast network of coin collectors and coin dealers over 40 years in the business I can easily facilitate transaction for gold coins, silver coins, coin lots, gold bullion and silver buillion. For a small fee of course.

"NOBODY ASKED ME, BUT..."

09.10.2020

It has been almost six months since the lockdowns have started. Is there anyone that could have imagined back in March that we would be in such a position? It is depressing seeing empty stores with big "For Rent" signs plastered on the window. But there are other things that we do not see, such as the terrible mental stress that has breached every aspect of our lives. Tremendous anxiety pervades our society. There is a general unease about getting the Virus. More so the older one is. And worse yet, there is no end in sight.

And what about the economic effects? I saw a recent survey that half of workers in downtown office buildings would be hesitant to return to their positions. Who can blame them?. The formerly crowded Central Business District now is at a disadvantage due to what was it's strength; the concentration of the workforce at it's core. It is a mess. So much so that a trend has developed in which inner city dwellers are seeking the less concentrated suburbs. The looming election adds to a sense of uncertainty. That is not good for the markets. Yet the stock market is around record highs. How does that figure? The best I can guess is that the government has injected or made available to the markets and businesses all the money needed to keep things from seizing up .But this should only be a temporary procedure until the markets settle. Then the money should be repaid. The problem is that this financial underpinning becomes permanent as the injected funds are not withdrawn. And the enormous debt grows ever larger. I don't know how you are thinking, but the idea of borrowing and printing money does not feel like the basis for a solid economy. Take away the government assistance and we have a depression.

Keynes had advocated government assistance but also preached that any monies extended during a drop were to be repaid as things recovered. Government debt incurred to blunt the 2009 recession is still on the balance sheet. This is an area of great concern. Government spending is now out of control. The chances to balance the budget are quickly evaporating, let alone reducing the national debt. We are headed in a negative direction.

And has anyone noticed that ever since Ronald Regan's introduction of huge government budget deficits, interest rates have trended down. A forty year chart would reveal the correlation. As the borrowing and debt increases and piles up, interest rates have fallen to virtually nothing. A curious situation indeed! It would appear that the outlook is for borrowing to increase and continue. I have noticed that politicians of both parties are good at spending money. And as taxpayers we should rest assured that our tax money is being spent wisely and carefully. No doubt about that. And thankfully there is no fraud waste or abuse in government spending. And what a wonderful gift we pass on to the next generation.

Now that so many years have passed and I look back upon life and think how so much of life is uncertain. But the times we are now experiencing have altered our lives in ways we would not choose. The quality of our lives has been negatively affected. It has been just about six months since the lockdowns began. The big question is what will be in six months. That it is uncertain for sure. Although I can predict the future, rarely am I correct. It sure is easy to make predictions, it's a lot harder to be accurate.

But then again, nobody asked me.
