I put mine up on ebay yesterday immediately after I picked it up at Baltimore with a starting price of $650 or best offer, $650 was what the guys hanging around the the end of the line were offering. https://www.ebay.com/itm/223751582514
I've had four offers of $750 (never had a offer over the start price before). Declined them all. We'll see what happens over the next few days.
meh.
If it wont sell on the 'bay, I'll just toss it into the pile of other numismatic oddballs I've accumulated and leave it to my heirs to figure out. This will be the least of their problems.
It can always sell at melt with a minimal loss,
I attended the distribution ceremony for the 2009 "Professional Life" Lincoln Cent back in the late summer of 2009. You could obtain 6 rolls of Lincoln Cents for the face value of $3.00 - and at the end of the Line, there were fine gentlemen paying $10 per roll! Multiple trips through line were allowed, and I got through line twice before the buyers had their quota and went away (to the nearby Post Office, believe). Easiest $120 that I ever made in my life, hands down.
Possibly the only 20-fer that I ever made on coins... and how trivial those coins are today...

Just wondering. Why didn't you have it graded since you were there?
Just wondering. Why didn't you have it graded since you were there?
I dunno. looking at the prices these fetch in the slabs, I guess that I should have. I just figured that they would all be graded 69 or 70 like the palladium proof last year or the gold merc the year before, so why bother?
But in hindsight, I really should have walked 20 feet over to the PCGS table and filled out the submission form.
Is it too late to send it in via the regular method?

Not too late.
You have 30 days from the 14th for First Strike. You’ll need to send the receipt since it was not postal shipped if you wait past 30 days. Not sure how they handle the entombed COA (if you want to do this) since it was not shipped/sealed from usmint.gov.

I don't think it will be possible to have the Baltimore label nor the COA # on your coin slab anymore.

A friend of mine and I did the same thing!
Maybe you were the guy I knocked down while I was scrambling back in line?
If so, sorry......

Sure. Confess after the statute of limitation for personal injury runs out.
@mannie gray Nah, I didn't see you there that day, but I did see Mr. Doran... you didn't knock me over... easiest $120 I ever made in coins.
I still came home with like 32 rolls of coins... they went to Coinstar about three years ago. The bank people doing the distribution were very liberal after the second go around. Supposedly the armored vehicle had 100,000 rolls, and a few went back home with the truck.
I am still today highly pleased that the Illinois Old State Capitol has been portrayed on a legal render U.S. coin! A very historic building!

It seems to be the only game going right now on BST.
For me erpae "s" is a dead issue, over it, I have my Pride of 2 Nations, I'm just look at it twice. At $65.95 the S would have been nice, anything over $150 will not be worth it.
I prefer to Collect, not accumulate, there are too many Morgan's and Walkers I would rather have.

You could have gotten $1000 at Baltimore on the 1st Day from dealers who wanted the special label

Agree- Do not use friends and family unless they are that.
3% is cheap insurance.
Collector, occasional seller
I'll add that in addition to PayPal Goods and Services it is best to use a credit card through PP as a second layer of protection.
This. Even the older members that i don't know that were selling to me, i'm asking paypal+3% or payment on delivery.
If you use FF and get burned, it's your fault.
Ditto, ditto, ditto and DITTO!
We have seen this film before.
I thought you retired from coin business.
Had to close store due to medical reasons, still dealing coins, from personal collection and helping a friend liquidate his 100k collection

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

One should have sold at the Baltimore show, for the $650 offered, so long as one was paid on the spot in greenbacks.
People who won't take a ten-fer are just asking fate for worse. A ten-fer is a homerun. One homerun might not win the ball game, but Jeesh...
meh.

A ten-fer is a homerun. A ten-fer two minutes after you bought the silver thingie for $65 is a gift from the Deity.
Agreed.
But a $65 loss or a $600 gain really does not make any big difference. I kind of just want to see where this winds up.

I just wanted the coin....would not have sold it no matter the profit....Well, maybe for $10 million, but doubt it will go that high
