I went out to view a "estate" collection yesterday. There were a few coins in the collection of an elderly lady who had recently passed away and her nephew was disposing of the estate. So, I just couldn't resist having a little "estate sale" here although, at least in this case, the estate is nothing to write home about. To save the hassle of eBay and give someone a great discount on some problem coins, I'll auction it here on the BST forum. Just post or PM me your bids. I'll periodically update the highest bid received by PM. Highest bidder after 24 hours wins the lot. There's 40 pieces total and minum bid is $20. I'll pay postage for the "lucky" winner.
The coin portion of the "estate" consisted of a low grade Indian Cent collection many of which have been cleaned at some point. The coins grade AG to G, most have been cleaned and some have some corrosion. The 1859 has a big chunk missing on the reverse due to a lamination and someone took a punch to it several times on the reverse and twice on the obverse. One of the 1885s has been flattened somewhat. The rest have much lesser problems including a good cleaning and/or corroded. At least the set had a a nice mix of dates. Here's the list of dates:
1859
1865
1879
3-1880
1881
1882
1883
1884
2-1885
1886
1887
1888
1889
1890
1891
1892
1893
1894
1895
2-1896
1897
1898
1899
1900
1901
1902
2-1903
1904
1905
2-1906
2-1907
1908
1909
Greysheet bid on this group in Good is $83.50. Of course these coins are not Good but that is as low as the sheet goes and the summation is provided here only as a reference point. I've seen enough estate sales on eBay to know that at this point I am supposed to quote the PCGS Price Guide value for this group using a grade toward the top end of the scale (notwithstanding that these are not PCGS certified and are of the grade quoted). So, here it is: PCGS Price Guide for these coins in MS 65 RD is $62,575!!!
