When you submit images to ebay make sure you rotate and crop, as appropriate, so the damn things are oriented correctly. You can still do it before the auction closes and I think you will realize a higher price this way. It is super easy in ebay to do this these days.

Thank you , I had cropped them once but I had to try and relist 7 times before it actually listed... I will fix that.
Edit to add: it's fixed.. thank you for bringing that to my attention

Good luck with your sale. If you have a price in mind, why not try and sell them here?

Honestly I don't have a price in mind but I would be open to any fair offers . I think I do have the best offer on. I'm not sure what would be a fair price as I can't remember what I paid for each one...

I went back and checked your listing today and it is a great improvement. You're starting these off around melt and you have a bid, but these have some numismatic value especially if they have not been cleaned or wiped to give them hairlines. They look to be at least au58, and maybe up to ms 62 or 63. But looking at the pics is confusing. Take a pic of all 5 obverse up in order, 41-d, 41-s, 43, 43, 44 and then a pic of all 5 reverse up same order. Then order the single shots of each coin the same way except 41-d obv, 41-d rev, 41-s obv, 41-s rev, etc. That will give you 12 pics which I think is the limit for free on ebay. One last thing, try and get shots that don't have glare. Most of yours are ok, but one or two have bad spots of glare that hides what's there.

You need to be trying to sell the numismatic value because at melt you're eating the 12 or 13% fees and losing money.

Good luck!

4 out of the 5 in my opinion are BU. And I realize there's def collector value there. I was assuming bids would go up but I am very new at selling ok ebay. Thank you for the advice!! When I get home I will redo the pictures again!
