An example of an inflated price at Heritage, IMO

53S

$365!? This one's not even attractive. I bought my 53S graded by PCGS MS66 not that long ago for around 30.00 with shipping. Which one would you prefer?

    I wonder how many times they sell coins thrown up on their site with rediculous prices? I'd be interested to see the statistics on that.

  • You guys actually trust what goes on at the auction houses?

    Heritage auction prices are a better indicator of the trends than Teletrade IMO. I've heard that shilling goes on quite a bit at teletrade. The 53S posted by 100proof is probably a little low for a 53S, but much closer than the $365 for the one on Heritage.

    Heritage will quite often throw coins up for sale with ridiculous prices attached, and in the example I posted they don't include any past auction data or current trends as they do for their coins that the asking price is closer to actual trends.

  • I prefer untoned pieces, myself, but same coin, same condition, I like yours on the price. You should look into this, though. There may be a trend developing here. Maybe you should try selling yours. You might be able to make enough to buy another one to fill the hole and still keep a nice profit for yourself at the same time.

    Woo Hoo! I just searched through an old zip lock baggie of 1953 date coins in cellophane and paper sleeves and found a gorgeous, whiter than white, 53-S 25c. Now where's that submission form....

    Past auction data

    Hopefully this link works. It shows the data.

  • Holy crap!! $1700.00+ for an MS67 white?? Oh god, I REALLY gotta find that submission form, now.

    I should go through the rest of this bag while I'm at it. I bought a lot of 1953 P,D,and S coins a while back and all the nickels, dimes,quarters and halves are pure white and most of the cents are blazing red. I might have a small treasure trove here and not even know it.
