Stamps, Coins & Collectibles: Wishes to Fortunes

04/25/2017

Sorry we've been away so long. Trying to get Ed healthy again. As this illness started in September 2016 & seems it may take another 6 months for recovery, Ken, Ed & I have made the very sad decision to close our Knoxville (Fountain City) brick & mortar store. Our eBay site, Wishes to Fortunes, is still up in a holding pattern & I will open the site for sales. This is a very sad time for all of us, but we must concentrate on Ed's healing. We may buy stamps & coins in the future...I'm sure we will, but it will be awhile. Great deals on showcases we are putting in storage if anyone interested. We are shutting off the store number but you may reach us at [email protected] Thanks for all your support & interest all these years. I miss interacting with our FB friends. I will update you here if we open in a new location. Until then, bless you all!

Ken in store regular hours M-W-F as usual for coin buying, selling, appraising. Ed, the Stamp Man, still under the weather. Hopes to return within the month. Stamp appraisals on hold until then.

Even though gold & silver are tanking, Ed & Ken are still buying. They are in the store until 5 PM today.

(Kitco News) - The sharp losses in gold on Tuesday, in which prices were down around $40.00 an ounce and hit a 3.5-month low, are being blamed on a stronger U.S. dollar (mainly due to a big drop in the British pound), some chart-based selling and a bit of Fed speak. (See my PM Kitco Metals report).…

We are in the store today BUYING GOOD, RARE stamps and coins. Remember, in terms of stamps and coins, 1970 is NOT old....most 1940's items are not old nor rare. Ike & Susan B. Anthony $'s are NOT old, nor rare. Most Indian head pennies are NOT rare. Ed & Ken have many decades of experience & will evaluate your items pay TOP DOLLAR for your RARE coins, stamps, gold & silver.....if you don't know what you have, or which dates are rare (older is not always better) that's OK. Have them take a look & tell you. That's what they do...they want your rare items...you want money...it's a win-win...come on in! :-D
