Anyone have some raws for sale?

dorkbar

I've got some freebie vouchers from PCGS, but only one coin which IMHO is worthy (i.e., would not come back bodybagged) of their grading. Ergo, I need to buy a couple of raws.

Do you have two coins that would be worthy--and worth it to yours truly? In other words, you profit, I profit.

I may be full of sh*t. You tell me. I'd cruise Sleazebay, but I've been bit enough. Truth be told, I just want to grade a couple of more and say sayonara to active participation in the hobby.

Don't be shy; if you've got something higher $$, I may be interested, and that may serve BOTH our needs better. I really don't want to put any limits on exactly what coins I'll buy, because literally anything may prove just what the doc ordered.

BUT--it has to be an original coin. If it comes back BB'd for cleaning, all hell's going to break loose.

Beyond that, I'll defer to your grading opinion (and the accompanying market value), as long as it's reasonable. If it comes back in a lower grade, I'll accept the pain. I'm trusting of the people here.

Please let me know.

How about:

-A BU 1913-S II Buffalo nickel? I've owned this critter since the early 70s and it's been sitting at the safe deposit box since probably a 62 or 63 if the grader is generous,

-1798 Bust dollar, ditto above...I bought it as a VG, but will probably go F

Here is a idea, go to a local coin shop and hunt for gems, and fill that submission...

If there are no local stores consider a coin hunting trip, checking out stores in nearby towns or hitting some shows...

I have a few Indian Head Cents...

1859 ms64 $900
1881 64rd $325
1908 64rd $150

They should be all original and these grades. I guess I can't be 100% sure of what pcgs will say...

I've got an 1812 classic head large cent. details probably VF30 but like every other classic head, its a bit porous.

I have a couple of raw Morgans, to include a vam11? (doubled ear), and a peace dollar..if interested?

Woo, that's a hard statement. Perhaps you should become more comfortable on what might come back body bagged for cleaning, and not place all the weight on somebody else shoulders. i.e., If the seller, and the buyer, don't catch it, the blame goes to both.

I have a bunch of raw Mercs that were consigned to me -- I did a first pass and sent 18 for grading already. Did a second pass and identified about 8-10 more. I posted here on the BST for a while and then moved to eBay...figuring I'd give the eBay crowd some good deals...so they can make them themselves. However, I'm quickly starting to realize that REAL raw coins don't sell that well on eBay...I know I'm stating the obvious here, but I think people prefer to buy the "overgraded/ajax cleaned $1,500 trends 67FB coins for $79".

Although I did sell one yesterday -- whoever it is got a STEAL -- a solid 31-D MS65FB (I typically undergrade) for $170...the guy will be real happy when he gets it.

I have 2 that as a fellow board member I can suggest for you -- out of this 2nd Merc batch that I am/was going to send in for grading: a 36-D that should grade high (66FB) and a 37-D that should grade even higher (67FB). Pictures below...and a disclaimer...I stink at taking pictures, and I can give you a lot of references that I stink at taking pictures

Anyway, these are already in the nice/harder non-PVC flips, in anticipation of me sending them in for grading, so pardon the fuzzies, streaks, smudges, etc., that you'll see in the pictures on the flips. These little critters are so small that when you magnify 60x the dimes look completely different -- and you can actually see the sub-atomic molecular sructure of the flips

Here are the 2 coins I'd suggest:

1936-D -- $170





1937-D -- $186




...although there are some interesting ones already mentioned in this thread that I'm sure are worth considering.

Use you free certs wisely, young Skywalker -- kidding

dorkbar

You're right, MadMonk. I'm sure there would be an equitable solution short of violence should BBing occur...heck if I know what it is, though, because it seems the buyer is SOL in those circumstances. That's specifically what I'm trying to avoid.

KollectorKing, you have PM.

I've got a few real nice Washingtons on eBay that I took from original bank wrapped rolls that are worth submitting. Check out auctions by "MADABOUTSLABS" if you're interested. Dave

KollectorKing

If you're going to the LB show, I can bring them and show them to you. We can meet at the lobby so as not to upset the dealers.

dorkbar

Not going to LB, KollectorKing...any other way to do biz?

I have some unusual and excellent Morgans on my website (link in sig) and if you prefer Buffalo nickels, an MS-65 (I think) 1913-D. I can email you pictures if you PM me your email address. (You can have it for my cost)
It's the affordable one--on the plain!

Dorkbar, turn on your ability to receive PMs. It's 3:00 AM Friday morning. Check this same forum for my newly listed post on this very topic.

Thanks, Boom. After hitting the customize button 10 or 20 times like the rat after the cocaine, while perusing other forum areas I learned it's the PROFILE-- yes PROFILE--button, everybody, that leads you to where you can ENABLE yourself to RECEIVE PMs.

I have done so.
