Rare Coin FOR SALE. Screw the forum rules. Buy this coin NOW!

I really don't care about forum etiquette. I am here for one reason and one reason only; to sell rare coins to wealthy forum members. I was going to disguise this as an educational post, but hey, let's be real. I want to sell this baby quickly and for a nice, fat profit. That being said, I will skip all of the numismatic, historical crap and cut right to the money.

This is a 1925 Buffalo Nickel. At least we think that it's a 1925. The date was missing when we purchased it, so we sent it to a coin doctor and he acid treated the date. Looks like a 1925. The obverse only grades AG but is netted to PO-1 due to the fact that it has been acid treated. The reverse grades a solid G-4. The composite grade would be VF-25 (PO-1/G-4). However, we do not guarantee that grade at any grading service. There is a slim possibility that PCGS would bag this coin, should the new owner decide to have it slabbed for investment purposes. It's also possible that ACG will bag the coin.

Some of you may laugh at our coin, which happens to be the highlight of our inventory. Laugh all you want. If this coin were a 1926-S in AU-50, it would be worth over $2,000.

Terms of sale: first $0.07 gets the coin (ppd). Since postage will be $0.37, we might loose money on this transaction, but I have never been very good at math. NO RETURNS. CASH or PayPal ONLY.

If this sale goes well, then I will start listing 100 coins per day on this forum.

    If you send a PayPal for 7 cents and there is a 36 cent transaction fee, you'll be wiped out long before you run out of them coins

    << <i>coin bought!!! >>


    ...and available soon at a reg. forum near you.
  • Okay, I have had 4 PM's on this coin and three of them were counter offers. Did I say anything about counter offers??? I am a rare coin dealer, which means that I name the price and you pay it. Period! One guy offered an insulting $0.05 while two others offered a somewhat reasonable $0.06, which I may consider. The forth guy told me to get a life and stop being such a putz.

    Let me say it again: FIRST $0.07 gets this coin. The coin will be mailed via First Class USPS ($0.37 cent stamp). If you want insurance, add $200.

  • Coin has been sold to Dennis in The Netherlands. Sales price was $0.07 and was paid with PayPal. We are shipping via USPS Air Mail. I think that we did okay with this sale. I am just glad that we didn't have to pay all of those eBay fees. That would have really hurt the bottom line. Maybe the US Coin Forum is the next new place to sell rare coins. image

    It has been for quite some time, the "sales pitch" was just a tad more subtle than yours

    You cannot really be serious can you?? How can you possibly claim that they are honest when they are trying to sell someone a RAW coin and then on top of that NO RETURN privilege, what if the coin is not worth SEVEN cents?? Sounds to me like another sleazbay style sales pitch!!!! Some poor sucker will buy it thinking they are getting their 7¢ worth only to find out later when they try to sell that it is not worth a penny over 2¢ - 2 1/2¢ image
    Even the PCGS price guide only lists it being worth about 3¢!!!

    WRONG WRONG WRONG!! Just take a piece of cardboard and tape over his half of the TV then you only have to look at her. And if you are really lucky you will have a stereo TV and you can turn off one of the speakers and only hear her voice instead of his.

    Aw gee whizz, all the really neat coins like this here buffalo always get snapped up.

  • Sorry to those who missed out on this coin. We can't make any promises, but we are flying to New York in the morning to look at another collection of similar pieces. Coins like our Buffalo are easy to sell, but difficult to replace in our inventory. Rare stuff I tell ya......

    Do you offer a layaway plan? I can put 2 cents down.
    Goldfinger: NO!! I don't waste time with smalltime collectors. We cater to real players in the coin market. 100% cash down. Those are the terms.

    Hmmmmmmmm. image BigE, I like your idea. I will cut you in for 20%.

    If you will AT the coin, I will pay $.10
    Craig, I am outraged by your post. AT'ing of coins is a serious problem in the coin collecting community. (pssssst.......make it $0.44 and I'll bake you up a nice batch of 4 rainbow toned dateless buffalo nickels).

    Aw gee whizz, all the really neat coins like this here buffalo always get snapped up.
    Bear, you had your chance. Now stop whining and take it like a man.....or a bear....or a man-bear....or something

    According to most ebay buyers the shipping at 37 cents is still unreasonable. After all its five times the cost of the coin.

    Actually, he'd get negged for shipping it at .37 cents since the buyer is gonna have to fork over 4 cents to get delivery! image
