ebay results for modern coins

Bunker

I put some common coins on ebay to try and get a feel for things. Here are a couple of the results. I charge $1.75 for shipping.

This coin brought $1.30:



This coin brought $3.34




This coin brought $7.16



This is certainly not conclusive by any means but interesting anyway.

I understand there is money in moderns, but I'd imagine one needs to have a great eye for the 70s.

According to the PCGS price guide:

2002-D Ohio lists at $15
1985-S Roosie lists at $25
1985-S Washington $25

And that's the PCGS Retail price guide.

These common coins are readily available cheaply and shouldn't be in a PCGS slab anyway.

Folks are just buying the coin and not the holder.

You don't need 70's but it's hard to get even the slabbing cost for coins that
are fairly common in higher grade. The Ohio quarter comes pretty nice and
while MS-66's aren't common there are enough higher grades that they don't
command large premiums. You have to remember the market for these isn't
as large as for something like a nice VG '21-S buffalo so you just won't get
the price. The proofs have a better demand but PR-70's of these aren't that
tough so the 69's aren't going to bring a lot.

This being said these prices do seem more than a little on the low side. Per-
haps there were other problems that interfered with full price being realized?

School is starting a lot of money that would of been buying coins was spent on Clothes, Back Packs, Supplies, Computers, Tuition and such lately.

I have about 50 such auctions stored in Turbo lister just for that reason.

Hard to believe anyone slabbed those. I suppose the idea was to score a higher grade and this was part of what was left over from the bulk submission?

I dunno - if you take an $8 1985 proof set and spend $70 in PCGS fee's don't you still have $8 in coins?

No. Not if you buy the coins rather than the plastic. There are not only scarce varieties
to be found in modern sets there are also some scarce grades. Just because a 5pc set
costs $8 doesn't make each coin worth $1.60. Some are culls and are worth only face
value and some can be worth many thousands of dollars. A 1975 dime with no mint mark,
for example, can be worth northwards of $50,000.

Among those who don't collect coins our actions can be nearly inexplicable.

Ebay moderns have been rather strong for me lately, but I'm focused on areas of greater demand. Some coins won't command a premium.

It is important to realize that coins like that, especially the 69dcam coins are just byproducts of trying to hit a home run at PCGS. Typically for every 70 produced there are 99 69dcams produced as well.
