PM me if you want anymore details.

This is my first attempt at selling coins - gotta start somewhere.

Oh - buyer to pay postage but postage will be very reasonable.

Pictures and prices please.



Not to derail your thread, or imply anything negative, but this is a good opportunity to comment.

(when I use "you" below, it's a generic "you" not towards YOU specifically )...

This is my personal belief: I absolutely hate when people post "PM for details". I think if you're selling something, then post an asking price for everyone to see. Not sure what to ask? Put it on Ebay.

I don't like general "make me an offer" situations or hidden bids against unkown others, because there's too much potential for games. Post an asking price. You know what you have into the coin and what you need to get out of it. Don't want to give something away or are unsure of what you have, then shoot high. If people don't like it they can always make an offer and you can say yay, nay, or counteroffer.

Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine...

Hi Coinpictures - your feedback is most welcome. As this is my first foray into selling coins all advice is welcome.

I will now list prices beside each item.

Rereading, I realize that I may have come across a bit harsh initially. More of a "rantlet" than anything else.

Also, I keep forgetting that not everyone has access to a camera or scanner for pictures. In lieu of that, some sort of grading description is essential. For example, those 1898 Zar pennies... all VG? VF? AU? Across the board? Without an indication as to condition, most people will probably just move along (IMO).

DAn - Very good and polite constructive criticism. That's what makes this forum different than others - not using a flaming rant but thoghtful advice. I'm sure ZAR appreciated the help and others thinking of selling might benifit also.
