Hi,

Sorry to tell you, but although the PCGS price guide is inflated for PCGS coins, most of the coins you have are in less respected holders, and don't command much money. For example, the PCI PR70 MD 25c will fetch around $10-$20, nowhere near the $800 you have it priced at. Also, the SGS PR70 dime...

You'll find that of the slabs you have listed, only PCGS is going to command a price close to the guide, if even a PCGS coin does.

Sorry,

Jeremy

indeed jeremy

this is what happens when someone who knows nada buys what the market makers say is $$$$$$$$$

I sadly wouldnt pay more than 60 bucks for the entire lot

and thats being extremely generous

I'll have to take Jeremy's and Bill's word for this lot. With the thread being written in all caps, I can't read it.
.
If you want your thread to be read, turn off the caps lock and quit screaming.

mojoman,
If you bought these coins based on the PCGS price guide values I would suggest you place you head right beside your icon.

Hi,

Is there some point in castigating this poor guy in a public forum? Seems a PM would be much more polite.
He is stuck with some questionable coins - mauling him in public won't solve that. I also see he is a new member, perhaps
trying to help educate would be a better path to take?

Thanks,
-Brian

Dear Saint Brian,
If he wanted help he would have asked for it instead of trying to sell us unsuspecting chumps at HIS discount prices. We are teaching him.

allegri

No saint. I just wonder about the public humiliation factor. I know that isn't the way I would prefer to learn
but perhaps you know better.

"trying to sell us unsuspecting chumps at HIS discount prices"

I doubt that really, he is new and has a large group of very questionable coins.

"If he wanted help he would have asked for it "

He may not know to do that, from the formatting of his post I suspect he is rather new to bulletin boards and obviously new to this board.

Thanks,
-Brian

Brian,
If I ever end up in a trial I hope your on the jury. Last response, I won't keep this at the top any longer.

Boy! Did you get stuck with some real junk. Next time do your homework before throwing good $$ after bad. I doubt anyone on this forum will do more than smile and feel bad for you getting taken to the bank. Put them on Ebay open @ $.99 and be happy for every dollar you can to lessen your enormous loss.

It is an interesting question: Is it someone new who honestly doesn't know that his ACG coins, etc. are a load of junk? Or is it someone who is aware that he is selling trash?

The fact that he knows enough to quote CU prices and find the PCGS B/S/T board implies that he knows what he is doing.

The fact that he actually listed this junk to a knowledgeable audience implies that he does not.

Maybe this will turn into another heart-wrencher like 2 months ago with the guy selling off his coins for his surgery, etc. Now, if the person honestly did not know that he is selling overgraded junk, I apologize. However, I am suspicious of anyone who fires off an ad like that.

read Robgettys post

I wasnt attacking him, I was pointing out his stupidity, seeing as he knows full well not one of those coins is worth what hes quoting.

thanks,dave

Dave,

no need to feel emabrassed....live & learn....happens to everyone, especially with coins. I'd wager alot of people on these boards could tell similar stories.

Blackhawk

Don't sweat it...I've been taken for a ride on coins more than once myself.

pontiacinf

I apologize big time Dave

So many on ebay and few here love to take advantage of newbies to the hobby..I thought thats exactly what you were trying to do and it pissed me off.

But boy am I STUPID not to realize that maybe it was you who was taken.

For that I deeply apologize.

JoyofCollecting

Dave:

Hang in there and don't be too embarrassed. Buy a few good books like "Coin Collectors Survival Manual" by Travers and hang around these forums and you'll catch on quickly. It's a wonderful and rewarding hobby full of traps and crooks. But it's worth putting up with both.

Good luck.

mojoman

thanks,al kind words , good point ty ,dave

mojoman

thanks, i would like to go back to the dealer and say..... but he is no longer around ty ,dave

mojoman

thank you ,and i would not take advantage of anyone, i am trying to read and learn but with so many books and sites out there it keeps my head spinning and when i met someone who acts like they are trying to help me out,and giving me deals on coins, and then i find out ( i honestly did not know until everyone told me)that i was taken well that put my head in another spin lol i have alot of coins and i got 1/3 from this guy the rest ,i bought online ,flea markets and inheireted some ,now i have to find someone who can tell me the real value of them before i list or trade any of them( i wont make the same mistake twice lol live and learn ) thanks again and GOD BLESS dave
