The Most Powerful Attribute in Antiques and Collectibles
By Michael Temple
What can increase your sales volume and make
you more productive day in and day out?
You've probably heard this three word
statement that separates those who wish they
could do better, from those who really do.
Knowledge is power!
This three word statement is more than
just a great philosophy. The more knowledge
you have about antiques, the higher the
increase in your overall profitability...as
long as you use that knowledge. Knowledge
can literally make or break your antique
business.
Here's a difficult lesson that was taught
to a high-minded museum by a shrewd, savvy
antique buyer with knowledge.
I love this story! It vividly illustrates
the difference between knowing and being in
the dark about antiques and their value. I
was browsing in an antique shop a number of
years ago, when I struck up a conversation
with the owner. We talked about incredible
finds that we had stumbled across over the
years. Her story topped anything that I had
ever done...hands down!
It all started when she attended the last
day of a weekend sale at a local museum. It
seems that the museum was desiring to
remodel, and they were attempting to raise
needed funds by selling off some antiques
that had been found in the carriage barn
that stood on the property. Obviously, she
was not expecting to see anything
spectacular because she assumed that the
sale would be "cherry-picked".
And then it happened!

Rare
Coins and Politics

A Scandalous Coin
Politics
and rare coins might not seem to go together, but they are linked throughout the
history of the United States. From the first coins of the 1650s to the change
you carry in your pocket today, political influence has been a significant part
of United States coinage.
