Lovely '14-D Lincoln on ebay...the right venue to sell?

Coins like this make my heart beat fast. I would love to own it. But, alas, it is way over my head. And I don't think it will sell on ebay.

Q: If you were the seller would you use ebay for a coin like this? Seems to me a high end auction house would more likely draw the buyers with deep pockets. (And, FWIW, I have bought from this seller and wouldn't hesitate to buy more.)

1914-D 65RD Lincoln

    Indeed. Ira is a star. I bought a '26-S 64RB from him last year. Couldn't be happier.

    I was just wondering if you thought ebay is the best place to sell a $30k coin.

    It's likely great advertising.
    Let's say that 500 folks get to see it but no one buys it on ebay and the auction expires.

    Then, someone who saw it didn't sell calls him up and makes him an acceptable offer. Pretty cheap advertising vs going show to show, right?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    probably trolling deep incase a big fish hits but ...news is out...trolling is trolling...a pr65rd 14-d is on a hook

    I fully agree with the trolling thing, great idea. What I disagree with is the RD, looks like too many RB's I have seen.

    I do think that at that price level I would offer free shipping...

    Go to Early United States Coins - to order the New "Early United States Half Dollar Vol. 1 / 1794-1807" book or the 1st new Bust Quarter book!

    Ira is a top flite seller. Ebay is a good venue for this coin. To some.....thats a lot of money....to others....just a click on the BIN.

    It looks better than my 64RD, I have no doubt it will hold that grade and is a good value.

    Buy it....far better than STOCKS

    Ira's been selling coins at this level on Ebay for years. I wouldn't doubt for a moment that he knows exactly what he's doing.

    If it were an unknown entity selling raw, no.

    But a well-respected seller like Ira selling one in PCGS plastic -- won't be a problem.

    Yeah, it's only $28K. I've lost more than that in my retirement portfolio in the last two months.
