The Reeded Edge Heads to Cleveland for The Ohio Coin Expo
Whether you are buying coins, selling coins or trading coins, The Ohio Coin Expo is going to be the place to be. The Reeded Edge will be set up for business at this regional show, located at The Quality Inn in Richfield, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland) from Friday, November 20th through the close of business on Sunday, November 22nd. This is always a well attended venue by collectors and dealers alike. With the robust metals markets providing buoyancy for the rest of the coin market, we are expecting good things. Rob and Robbie will both be on hand to answer questions as well as buy and sell both coins and bullion. We will have many new purchases, courtesy of the Baltimore Coin Show, so we encourage you to stop by our table and say hello. Hopefully, Cleveland will be in your plans for the weekend-We would love to see you there.
The Reeded Edge Returns from a Very Successful Baltimore Coin Show
Whether you were buying coins, selling coins, buying gold, selling gold or any other valuable collectible for that matter, Baltimore was the place to be! The Whitman Coin and Collectibles Exposition was as busy as any coin show this entire year. The official tallies are not in yet, but we're guessing that this was one of the best attended Baltimore Coin Shows ever. Taking place from Thursday, November 12th and concluding Sunday, November 15th, there was a non-stop stream of collectors and dealers packing the bourse floor for the entire duration. This was our 20th consecutive year setting up at this show, so we're always expecting good things. But, this particular show, at least from an attendance standpoint, was simply exceptional. We were busy both buying and selling coins for four days, a fact that will be evident once you peruse our New Store Items. And as if coins weren't enough, we were also simultaneously set up at the American Political Items Collectors Regional Show at the Sheraton Hotel in Langhorne, PA on Friday, November 13th and Saturday, November 14th. Although this is still one of the largest and most active shows in the hobby, the internet has taken its toll on the overall attendance numbers. Our read on the political hobby is that the hobby itself is still exceptionally strong. The APIC membership numbers are at an all time high. However, it appears that many collectors prefer to conduct their business online through venues such as eBay and other internet auctions in lieu of attending trade shows. This is a trend that we will monitor closely in the future. Despite all of the economic and political negativity in the press (the latter, in our opinion, well deserved), the coin and collectibles markets march on. Some might argue that there is a sense of even renewed strength.

Dealer Julian Leidman's Coins Recovered!
Every now and then a bad story has a happy ending. Last month, dealer and long-time friend-of-the-hobby Julian Leidman was robbed of numerous rare coins in New Jersey while returning from the Coinfest show in Stamford, Connecticut. Initial reports valued the missing coins at over one million dollars. The dealer community collectively offered a $125,000.00 reward for the apprehension and arrest of the individual(s) responsible for the theft. Although we have not heard anything about either the apprehension or arrest of the culprits, we have heard preliminary reports that most, if not all, of Leidmann's coins have been recovered. This is good news indeed! Hats off to all of the law enforcement agencies and numismatic organizations that banded together to help solve this heinous crime. As more specific details become available, we will continue to post them on our home page. For more detailed information about both the theft and recovery, Julian Leidman may be contacted at 301-585-8467.

Name Your Price! From The Reeded Edge
Fall is upon us and the coin and collectibles markets are in the midst of a predictable pause. With the economy 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 at least $50.00. If you like saving money (and right now, who doesn’t?), this opportunity is definitely for you. Does the idea of purchasing a particular coin or collectible for what you believe it should be worth appeal to you? Then, put your best foot forward, because this is your chance to name your price on a wide variety of coins and collectibles.
In the last week, we sold an uncirculated 1901 Morgan Dollar and a RARE dated $20.00 gold coin, both at prices well below our suggested retails simply because each customer tendered an acceptable offer. Now it’s your turn!
By clicking HERE, you will open up our current coin and collectibles inventory list. Each and every listing is clickable and will take you to 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 item’s listing. This will open up a fill-in-the-blank email template where you can enter both your offer and your contact information. Once your offer is received in our office, we will make a decision 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.
We understand that opinions of value can vary. 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. Again, it doesn’t matter if you’re a collector, an investor or even a dealer buying for resale. We encourage you to take your shot and make an offer-You have absolutely nothing to lose!
