    Ebay is bad bad bad.

    The path to success is to only buy certified coins for retail prices from large dealers, then sell them back for 15% to 20% less when you get tired of them.

    I would think so! Take into account that it cost around $30 with shipping to send a coin in to PCGS as well.

    There are some bargains out there to be had on eBay. You just have to be very very careful or know who you're buying from...

    Awesome coin by the way...image

    IIRC ... I think we shared a PM where I was certain it would get there ... happy for you that it did image

    Wait...you paid $63 and ended up with a dime valued at what...$1000 or so?

    I'm not in charge of "you suck's" but that sure seems to qualify! Nice going!!

    My brother bought a 97-O Morgan on eBay for $31, submitted it to NGC and it came back MS62. Unfortunately for me, all the stuff I bid on seems to get *way* too much attention from other bidders.

    There are no bargains on ebay, please do not waste your time looking for them.

    No one has ever won a great coin on the bay, please do not look for deals on ebay.

    Ebay is bad, bad , bad, so no need to look for cherries on ebay.

    eBay is cool.

    I picked up an $11. coin on a BIN and flipped it to a coin shop for $90.
    Not a big score, but kind of fun, nonetheless.

    Nice!

    I like ebay.

    The fun is in the hunt!

    ... and the result, when it's this good!

    Coin went too cheap because the pics were bad, and too many people have been burned by scummy ebay sellers with bad photos. However, you took a little gamble that the coin was still in the same shape as in 1984 when ANACS graded it, and you were right. You very well could have received something that someone shined up with a jewelry cloth, or that had a big staple scratch right across the face, or PVC damage. I think most great deals on ebay result from gambles of one sort or another!

    The same deals on ebay tend to be the same ones you can find at show. THey all tend to stem from being able to grade better then the seller in the raw to graded side of "deals"

    I think there are bargains whereever a thrifty person shops. eBay is no exception.

    << <i>The same deals on ebay tend to be the same ones you can find at show. THey all tend to stem from being able to grade better then the seller in the raw to graded side of "deals" >>



    I agree that you can find deals at a shows but ebay is a completely different beast. Ebay is 24/7 and how many shows can you go to?????? Plus the cost and time of going to all those shows.

    Ebay is by far the best place to cherry pick as many sellers have no idea of what they have and many have horrible photos. Dealers at shows should at least have some knowledge.

    The best thing about ebay is that can buy coins from anywhere and it is 24/7 and can do all this in your underwear image

    The point of my post was more about the fact that if you know more them the seller(grading, varieties, recent trends, ect) the buyer will always have a leg up. It's how dealers make their money although I will admit EBay is a fine place to find clueless sellers.

    Good luck getting deals like that on colored stuff. I overpay for everything on ebay image

    You took a chance and won. Congrats.

    The auction was for an ANACS MS65 Photograded a long time ago (certainly prior to the FB designation) and sold for approximately MS65 money based on less than adequate pictures.

    What went North could just as easily gone South but in this case................Woo Hoo.

    Reminds me of the two Nickels I pruchased at Longbeach back in Feb 08. One was a 41-S and the other a 41-D. Paid maybe $10 apiece and both came back as MS66FS coins.

    I guess it's times like this that make all the frustrating days worthwhile which is why, sometimes, I just love this stuff!
