How I Made $10,000 Restoring Coins
00:00:00.000 | I made 10 grand off of a coin that I had bought for 400 bucks and I was like probably in seventh
00:00:06.480 | grade and I had bought this Franklin half dollar just basically generic silver coin
00:00:11.400 | and it was graded already so it was in like one of the holders that PCGS or NGC or like
00:00:16.240 | grading companies the same as sports cards you can get them certified and have a specific
00:00:21.080 | number attached to it and so I was able to get that number upgraded pretty quickly by
00:00:24.960 | using different techniques that restoration people would use so I was pretty good at doing
00:00:29.760 | what they would call just coin restoring so I'd be able to identify it, get it re-graded
00:00:35.120 | and then be able to sell it again.
00:00:36.760 | That's a specific path that a lot of people do in the coin industry to make a lot of money.
