CoinWeek: How to Deal Coins with Rob Oberth

Very few dealers, in recent years, have had the impact that Rob Oberth has had on the professional numismatic community. His upstart facebook group "Coin Dealers Helping Coin Dealers" has blossomed into one of the industry's most effective 21st century networking and marketing groups. Now boasting hundreds of active dealers, CDHCD and its counterpart group RoundTable Trading, has developed into a 24/7, 24-hour-a-day trading platform, where dealers can shop around new purchases with trusted dealers from across the country, creating a new realtime market for coins. But the group's impact on the dealing community goes beyond simply buying and selling coins. Rob explains that one of the most important and impactful aspects of being involved in the group is the ability for dealers to share professional insights and knowledge. This fosters not only camaraderie amongst dealers, but also lessens the often steep learning curve that new dealers face when they begin their careers or delve into market areas that they are not familiar with. In this CoinWeek video, Charles Morgan sits down with Rob to discuss the steps new dealers should take when starting out. This critical information will not only benefit those wishing to take the plunge into coin dealing, but also "vest pocket" dealers and collectors who want to understand how the buying side of the market really works.
