Th pictures aren't great but I suspect that coin won't disappoint.
Edit to add It would be @ricko approved.
Looks like a nice coin.
It is a $250 coin based on recent auction sales. I would offer that at my max.
That looks a boat load nicer than a typical MS63!

Dipped and properly neutralized.
Nice coin, $250 offer may get you blocked by that seller.
That's what they show in HA results.
Nice coin!
Yep, what I would offer too, but waaay lower than priced. Seller,whoever it is, may consider it an insult.
IMHO all I'm seeing at auction in Barber material is the stuff the die hard collectors don't want. I used to buy a lot of coins in the auctions but it's been awhile since I've seen anything that excites me....off course if your into top POP MS grades that may be different as I'm talking 12-64 grades!
I would because you are really offering the seller in the $220 range after fees...would you sell that coin for $200 or less????
I might block someone who made that offer. Lol. The ugly ones on Heritage sold for $250. The nice one on Heritage sold for $380
That said, I'd want better photos before I'd pay $380 for that coin. But I personally think asking for a 40% discount is insulting even if you think the coin is overpriced. You are either saying, "nice coin but I want a discount of 2x the normal margin on a coin" or "you're a crook trying to get 40% more than the coin is worth"
Coin looks good and CAC liked it. CDN retail is $358 for MS63 CAC, $338 without it. $348 is a good offer imo. They'll probably meet you half way. I've learned if you really like a coin, buy it asap because it's likely to sell fast. Lost a few good ones over thinking on dollar signs!
Nice coin but too white for me.
You could shoot him an email. Lay out the HA recent sales and then
Ask him for his bottom line Best price. This way he is not offended and you waste no more time than an email

Dipped. Looks unnatural. Would not work for me.

I like the coin. I'd offer 300. The seller would likely counter, at 350, so we'd settle at 325. Don't think I'd pay more than that.

That appears to be a very nice Barber Quarter....If I were making the offer, I would not lowball it...and seller will counter... so figure what you are willing to pay and take off 15% for your offer...then you will get the counter and make your decision. Cheers, RickO
Non CAC: CPG is around 340 CDN bid 260. Blue sheet 225. Cac pop report value $358, est CAC bid 275. I would offer somewhere in those ranges. Better hurry I may beat you to it lol - nice coin.
Defensive side of ball: I would put 240 on the table see what he does. Auc history shows 228-325. My goal would be sell at 30 pct margin not pay more than bid plus around 5 pct. If he sends it to bay auction he may have to start it as low as 220 get any bids. I think a few bucks over CDN bid should take it in this market if he’s Wanting move it quick. I might up the offer $20 bc it’s CAC but no more. If that target sell $375. Shopping it around the bourse at a show he might get 250. This is higher than w impact from auc juice, shipping.
On Offense: He has it for 395 (PQ Coin) probably would let it go at 375 or 360 below that good luck - it’s a nice 5 star keeper PQ tough locate coin not some average quality generic I might let go at bid plus 10 pct. I would not discount it more than 5 pct beyond my asking price otherwise they can go find one. A strong buyer with money wanting it for his set would have already snapped it up in this bargain market. That is less than good 50 yard line seats at a pro game or possibly the Rose Bowl. So 395 (30 pct margin) a good asking price leaving some negotiation room. I would not put price sticker on slab for show less than that.
I like 'em with some color!

To me it's just another dipped common date Barber quarter. It's uber common, and a lower mint state grade at that. While it may be better than many 63s, he's effectively asking 64-64+ money which is way too high. You could buy a gem for not much more. Dipped blast white Barber coinage also looks unnatural to me.
From a marketing perspective, it will be harder to move at top dollar. I hate to say this, but the reality is the NGC plastic will make the coin sell for a discount when it comes time to sell notwithstanding the bean. I also would not dream of paying a large CAC premium on a common coin like this. There are undoubtedly many fine coins given how inexpensive it is that have never been to CAC. The Barber market has also been hit hard (and has never been super strong IMHO) and likely has more room to go before the series bottoms out.
Everything about this coin screams pass to me.
Respectfully, his eBay and PayPal fees are not the buyer's problem or concern even though those fees undoubtedly will factor into the seller's bottom line. If he can't price it competitively after fees, then the seller has picked the wrong venue.
I like it FWIW

It's just a way to put your inventory out there. I use Ebay as my website and I have many customers I have met at shows that go look at my ebay store and give me a call or shoot me an email if they want something. I have coins listed on ebay just like this(tight margins). Either someone has the intuition to figure out how to contact me directly and make a deal or they sell at coin shows!
I also suspect this coin is damn close or is a nice blazing PL coin....that's my take on the crappy pictures anyway.
