A bit gut wrenching to sale, but I'm wanting to get a new camera, so these are (probably) my top 3 most valuable coins:
1987 W Constitution $5 gold
NGC Proof 70 Ultra Cameo
Cheapest one I currently see on ebay is $232.
Obverse, Reverse
====================================================
1874 Trade Dollar
ANACS Very Fine 35
Problem free, very dark toning. The photos are pretty accurate on the darkness of the coin. I suspect RussView™ could take quite the nice photo of it. I was given a greysheet quote of $150 for this. Hopefully the toning will add some (a lot?) appeal to it.
First two photos show the darkness of the trade dollar:
Obverse, Reverse
These two images show the color that's on the coin (this is where RussView would come in...). Again, the dollar is quite dark.
Obverse, Reverse
====================================================
And lastly;
2001 P Buffalo Buffalo $1
NGC Proof 69 Ultra Cameo
They're going on e-bay for around $230.
The dollar is nearly blast white with faint splotchy toning, most noticeably under the chin;
Obverse A, Reverse, Obverse B
====================================================
The new camera kit I'm wanting is about a thousand bucks (and not for photographing coins. I don't even have a setup for that. I'm more into astrophotography.). I'm hoping that these three coins will get me a good chunk of the way there. All three look as if they would go for around $600 or so on e-bay, and $700 was my goal with these three... I can potentially save $300 or $400 in a months time to meet the $1000 goal to get a nice Canon Digital Rebel XTi.
Hopefully I'll have some luck here. I'll leave this up for a few days, and best offers I get shall be the winners. Next Wednesday, the 9th, at noon can be the cut-off time I guess.
==================
Update: I plan on shipping these via the United States Postal Service, insured, with delivery conformation, so I'll know when you have the coin. Also, I'll have a 10 day return policy. Those 10 days will begin when I see that you've received the coin (delivery conformation). If you don't like it, just let me know that you've mailed it back. When I receive it, I'll return your money in whatever form you wish (aside from sending you a check as I don't have any checks to write; I don't use them).
I'll accept checks, but I'd MUCH prefer payment in the form of postal money orders. After all, my bank is nearly an hours drive away. The post office: 15 minutes. If you pay via check, you'll have to wait an extra seven days before I send the coin, due to the time it'll take for the check to clear. With money orders, I can pretty much ship the coin the same day.
I'll add updates for the offers here:
1874 Trade Dollar: SOLD. Not going to get a better offer than what I got. It's gone.
1987 Gold Constitution: No offers
2001 Buffalo Dollar: No offers
