I just realized how many beautiful coins you've been offering on ebay this past month, and nobody told me a thing!

Thanks for the compliments on the coins I've been auctioning - and for bidding a few out of this week's batch! Of the two you posted the French coin was top notch: attractive, original, accurately graded and cheap! The Somoli coin was nice but not that exciting, at least to me.
I never started a SSP thread as I didn't feel I post enough here to make it look OK. However, since you started this thread what the hell.
The two best coins this week are the 1965 G German 5 Mark:
and the 1938 Venezuela 5c
The Panama and Thai coins are also above average. I'll offer free shipping worldwide if a forum member wins anything.

I've had this one on my website for about 6 months. It's not as nice as yours, but it's only about 1/4 the mintage. No one has seemed too interested in this one either.

Oh well, their loss.

Now I'll have to figure in my time to crack it out into my bid...
<< <i>Hi jammin. If you ever get more nice US Mint products, like that Venezuelan, let me know.
Maybe I should have done a SSP here! I just sent this coin, also struck in Phildelphia, off to Germany:

True, but would you have trusted my opinion of the MS66 grade and that the color was kosher?

<< <i>That's ashame. $50.00 is more than a fair price for a coin like that. Maybe it's just because it was the most common date for the type? >>
French coins really sell poorly, which is kinda a shame as they have some really nice deigns.
If I knew it would sell that poorly I would have kept it!

I don't know. NGC's foreign coin population report has not been updated in years. However, there can't be too many certified examples around as I've never seen a proof of this type offered on e-bay in the year or so I've been watching closely.

I assume you already know - if you ever get any French gold of the same quality as those coins - don't even bother with ebay. Just send me an email

That would depend on how much you're asking for it.
The Costa Rican coin is a beaut! Of course, it's one that I need too.

Occasionally you can find gem roosters and angels for just a tad over the bullion value. The older stuff you like is much tougher to cherrypick!

That is a very lovely coin. I would have easily paid $75 for it.

Where, oh where, were all the strong buyers last month!
Some sell for more than I expect, some for less. Such is e-bay.
