BYERS NUMISMATIC CORP. LAUNCHES A NEW FREE SERVICE ON THE INTERNET FOR MINT ERROR COLLECTORS

Lake Forest, California: The popularity of the Internet has opened many doors for the numismatic industry, especially the area of collecting mint errors. Michael S. Byers of Byers Numismatic Corp. has been at the forefront of this Internet explosion, offering an extensive inventory of major mint errors on his web site, ByersNC.com. Byers notes “it’s unbelievable how I’ve seen the coin business, especially mint errors, change with the Internet. Business can be done much more easily and more effectively than just at coin shows. At the click of a button, people from around the country can view color photos of mint error coins and bid on live auctions, instead of the hassle of traveling to coin shows or waiting a week for a photo to arrive in the mail.” Because of the convenience of the Internet, Byers is launching a new free service on his web site.

“We have a new area in our web site that allows people to anonymously list a mint error for up to ninety days, for free.” This section entitled “Consignment Showcase” will display a selection of many exclusive mint errors for sale. Both error collectors and dealers can scan and e-mail pictures of their coins to be listed on the web page. Unlike other auction services, this service will allow the coins to be listed for up to ninety days. This will offer more exposure without the rush or pressure of having a weeklong listing expire. The role that Byers Numismatic Corp. will play is simply connecting the buyer and seller when an offer is made. The logistics and completion of the sale is up to the buyer and seller. “My goal with this service is to promote the mint error business throughout the Internet and to connect collectors and dealers alike with the mint errors they have been searching for,” states Byers.
