Looking for quality swaps.

1 post
I've just finished a major overhaul of my swap list, removing "ghost coins" from long ago swaps, revising grades where applicable and also prices to reflect the depressed 2018 market. I have coins to trade to suit all tastes and budgets, from inexpensive modern issues to dates as far back as the 1500s. Thousands of them, copper, bronze, brass, aluminum, zinc, silver, maybe even a gold coin or two for exceptional swaps.

Big coins, small coins, new coins, old coins.... I'm the numismatic equivalent of the doorman in "From Dusk 'til Dawn".

In return I'm looking for the following -

UK Pre Decimal - I've completed most of the common dates from the 20th century so I'm looking for a few key dates, top tier Victorian coins and problem free pre 1800 coins. Pre 1937 Maundy sets, empty cases or single coins. Great deals offered for exceptional coins!

3rd Reich - Explicitly 3rd Reich coins, so no Wheatsheaf Pfennigs or Occupation issues for this guy! As with the UK coins, I've long ago filled all the common dates / mints so I'm looking for either mint state specimens or very close, or key dates / commemoratives.

Rhodesia etc. - I've completed my Rhodesia collection (with that one obvious exception) but I've still got some missing coins from Southern Rhodesia and Rhodesia & Nyasaland. I'm pretty easy to please for this part, problem free VF and above is good enough.

Premium Coins - Hard to define but hopefully a few examples will clear it up. Inexpensive 19th century crown sized coins (5 Francs, Lire, Marks etc.), higher denomination coins, inter war commemoratives.... if you have an interesting top tier coin that you can't find a decent swap offer for then let's talk.

Stamps - Unused 3rd Reich and occupied territories stamps. I've already got multiples of most later issues and of course the Hindenburg / Hitler types. I need the earlier commemorative series, Winter Relief Funds, Wagner Opera series that type of thing. I particularly need several of the Party issues, the ones with the swastika. I also collect the propaganda postcards and mini sheets. Please note: the stamp market has collapsed and catalog values have absolutely no relevance. I'll offer a fair price but please manage your expectations according to 2018 realities.

NDSAP Related Pins, Medals - Looking for corrosion free military medals but especially interested in civilian awards connected with the various 3rd Reich social programs and yearly celebrations, Workers Day, Heroes Day, Police Day etc. Anything else (except for ammunition) related to the period will be considered. No replicas or ghoulish modern fantasies please.

If you don't have anything I need above, a trade is still possible. Junk silver is always acceptable as is cash. US trades are preferable due to shipping costs but I'm happy to consider offers from most civilized parts of the world which are substantial enough to absorb the cost. I make swaps based on K&M values as published on the NGC website. I don't care much for "eBay prices" or haggling like a rug salesman, but if you think that the catalog price is genuinely and substantially wrong then I'll at least listen to what you have to say.

I'm not interested in scoring cheap coins, the ideal swap in my view is one that leaves both sides very happy. I'm looking to build long lasting relationships, not turn a fast buck here and there. Many of my swap partners have been trading with me for many years, in many cases we're on our tenth swap and above. I'll leave the "smash and grab" type swaps to the hustlers and sharks.

Over the course of many hundreds of swaps and trades I've accepted coins, stamps banknotes, firearms, militaria, medals, books, a pair of candlesticks (yeah really), postcards, lithographs, silverware, share certificates and of course lots of junk silver and cash. If you want to make a trade we'll find a way to make it possible. What do you have?
Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.
