Home Buy, Sell, & Trade - U.S. Coins

Anyone want to buy this group for $6,000 before it goes to ebay?

I want to sell the whole lot. All cash offers will be considered. Im too lazy to upload each coin to photobucket, but if you are serious on an offer, individual photos can be provided. Nothing will be sold individually, this is a package deal. GREAT starter group for a type set here!


EDITED TO ADD ASKING PRICE: $6,000 ( you guys want to offer me $80 and $125 on the lowball, I'll play the game in reverse and ask moon money then!)

    Could you at least type up a list of what is there?

  • << <i>Could you at least type up a list of what is there? >>



    If I was going to do that, might as well list all of them individually. There are no 1894-s dimes, or 1895 proof dollars here. Just decent common date type material.


  • << <i>Could you at least type up a list of what is there? >>



    That would require work and would ruin the original spirit of the listing.

    I bid $50

    Return policies are always nice, but with a large assortment, I wouldnt know what was cherry picked if the group was returned. A quick tally on greysheet wholesale bid shows the group to be about $2,000 in value. Maybe selling such a large group will not allow me to see the most return. Perhaps ebay would be a better venue afterall.

    But it's too difficult to provide a list of the coins?

    Not a seperate listing for each coin gecko, a list of what is contained in this whole lot.

    This does not have to turn into a rancorous exchange. There are some beautiful coins in this lot, and if you were to take the time to make a list with a price for each, you will do much better than offering it as a lot here or on ebay. That draped bust half looks great. The classic head large cent has real potential. The 1807 cent is very nice too. Some of the seated dimes might be very nice, but they're hard to even see, let alone make out a date -- and forget about mintmark. You'll get much stronger offers, too, if potential buyers can see the reverses and verify that they are as nice and problem-free as the obverses appear (from this distance -- !) to be. I would never in seriousness offer you what people are offering you in this thread -- but then again, neither would they. If you want to sell this lot this way, though, your best bet is to take it to a show with a price in mind. If greysheet says $2,000 then walking away with something like $1700 ought to be pretty easy. If you take the time to present it well on this board, you will do better. If you ebay it, you might get better still -- and then again you might not.

    Good luck. I would be very interested in a few of those coins if they were offered individually.

    Unless you are either a thief, or complete numismatic moron, you can clearly see that this lot is valued at FAR greater than $150, and thats just based on the picture, even if you assume that every date is common.
  • stev32kstev32k Posts: 2,098 ✭✭✭
    What I see is a bunch of junk coins worth melt value. Most can be found in just about any dealers junk box for melt plus about 10%. If you think you can get anything close to $2,000 for the lot you are living in a dream world.

    Not necessarily. Anyone but a <<complete numismatic moron>> would know that there are three sides to a coin and in your picture, where only one of those can be seen (this is a generous statement), it is entirely possible that something is being hidden on the other two. Therefore, anyone but a <<complete numismatic moron>> would make an offer with that in mind.

    It seems to me that the <<complete numismatic moron>> is the one who assumed that a board of knowledgeable collectors would offer a "fair value" based on one picture of the obverses.

    This is interesting. C'mon Gecko, you gotta realize that there was precious little information in your initial post. Don't you think that a little ribbing is standard fare, given some objectivity and given what you've seen on the boards? Even you may admit that just a bit more thought should have gone into the ad before posting, maybe, just a little bit?
    The customer may not always be right, but in this case, I think all your potential customers are simply providing a little education, and a little friendly ribbing on the side.

    Thought did go into it. Either someone wants the lot, and I avoid all the work of listing each coin individually along with solo pics, or nobody offers me fair value, and then I have to do all that dreaded work. With offers of $80, $125, $150, and $300....this board seems to just be full of rip-off artists. I will take the time to image and list each coin seperately on ebay now. I will provide the link when its done. The total of these 49 coins will exceed $2,000. Some of you will feel like fools. One guy PM'd me and told me this stuff is just worth melt. An 1807 DBH in G4 is worth $6? I didnt know that! Seated dimes in EF grade are worth $1.25? Wow! The 1994 POW silver commemorative proof is worth $15? The 1807 large cent with slightly porous planchet in VG8 is worth 5 cents of copper? Now you tell me who the scam artist is.image

    No, no gecko. Anyone who posts one side of a coin for sale, and is asking retail, is IMHO trying to hide something. What this "stuff" is worth to you and what it's worth to others can be a world apart. Besides, I saw an offer of $1800. You ever try to sell anything on a bourse floor?? I guarantee you the offers would be similiar to what your seeing here. Some lowballs (from folks BSing) and some wholesale from those that have to resell and make a buck. and still some more legit offers. Sheesh, from a guy who seems to want to jump on every discrepancy made by others. Your sure kind of thin skinned when obviously what registrycoin says is correct.image

    Are you illiterate? Its called "reading". Group letters into words, and words into sentences. Start from the left and work to your right. I never asked "retail", in fact, if you knew how to read, you would have seen that my estimate was greysheet wholesale bid. Secondly, nobody offered me $1800. Again, if you knew how to read, you would have seen that twosidestoacoin WANTED $1800 in cash AND the group of coins in trade for his plat eagle. In the future, if you wish to critisize me in any way, shape, or form, please learn how to at least READ first.image

    Can not tell just what is there(2000?) but ship them to me FIRST and will send $500 back at least right away. If, after I look at them and they are worth more to me, I will send more. Best can do, given photo image

    Now theres a halfway honest response. Not some rip off thief who says the group is worth melt, and offers me $80! I appreciate the offer, but feel I will do MUCH better listing them seperately on ebay. Thanks.
