Does not look like a massive seller could this be the results of five sets? If so, that is a high % of 70's!!!!! 3 set's of 70's 1 set of 69's and the set they saved for themselves.
All I am going to say is on the 2012 dragon 1oz first strike the #'s are something like 70's = 5400 69's = 580 10 to 1 is 70's totally killed the market for that coin! When I bought it pop. was under 800 for the 70's

I have a grading question. How bad is the grade of an ASE knocked down for a rim ding. I'm not sending this in because of the ding, but curious about how far it would knock down the grade. It is on the obverse at around 10:00 and is really noticeable with the naked eye. thx.
File under "buy the coin, not the label", but from what I've seen, there will be at least 4 different "Set" labels. FS with Mercanti sig, FS with Flag, FS with 25th Anniv. Set banner, non-fs Set...
<< <i>What would the benefit be splitting sets up ? I see over 20 listings on e-bay for sale of the RP and the "S" coin........... >>

I should add, don't try this at home. There was a limited window to pull this off and once I started the others followed me in.

"How many times can a man turn his head and pretend he just doesn’t see?” - Bob Dylan
If you are just flipping, sell to a dealer. All of the ebay crap isn't worth it in the end. Ya, you might take a small hit, but that's nothing compared to what could go wrong on ebay. I've sold a lot of different things in my day, and from what I can see, with coins, dealers are the way to go if you are just selling sealed boxes.

It's not flawed. I recently just sold to a dealer, but I had a box of 5 up on ebay. I listed it for $5,000. I know no one will spend that, but I got a ton of offers, all right around the price I wanted. I could screen every single buyer. Yes, if someone with 0 feedback just went and bought it now for $5k I could be screwed, but I have much more control over the price I get and who buys it than over an auction. Trust me, it works. Been selling exactly like this on ebay for over 6 years. Thousands of expensive items. Never gotten screwed. But in the end, to each his own.

The "win" would be the chance to open your sets, pull out the cull non-keys, substitute better looking coins, and STILL get the 25th Annie SET label on all of them. Another "win" would be the dramatic decrease in shipping costs not having to ship 15 lbs. of stuff for 25 ounces of coins or take the chance of paying to grade coins with bite marks in them.
The "point" was that it would be label as "25th Annie SET" instead of just "25th Annie"
I thought it was clear...

<< <i>I don't want to sell to anyone who has ANY unpaid item strikes. But they only let you limit it to 2 or more. >>
i have 2 of them this year, maybe 1 other in the last 11 years & 100% feedback.
i was on vacation when 2 auctions ended, 1 for $1.99 and another for $3.25.
the day i returned was the last day to pay (say in the AM) by that evening there were no 'pleasant' communications to correct my delay. i specificly let them know i would pay right then, and was rebuffed on both.
at least 3 sellers HERE have allowed me to bid on their auctions. most of the others have removed the block and allowed me to bid from a single ebay email.
it's still a PITA!
i understand a sellers concern, but the 'story' behind a non-payment is never known.
in my case, both the sellers did not have 100% feedback.

You would then end up with either 2 or 3 coins (depending on if the bullion coin has a finish

<< <i>Does not look like a massive seller could this be the results of five sets? If so, that is a high % of 70's!!!!! 3 set's of 70's 1 set of 69's and the set they saved for themselves.
70 BIN for $4,000]
The cert number spread on the one set is 28 so likely more than 5 sets. >>
Had to be at least 100 sets submitted to get that PCGS label. >>
Did you mean 100 coins (20 sets)? >>
Brain poot - yes, 100 coins.

<< <i>BigDaddyz, You can get a policy violation by just making a honest error in a listing, that seems a bit harsh. Maybe more than one in a month then you may have a pattern. >>
I'm just saying their filters are pretty lax...
For example...
•Have received 2 Unpaid item Strike(s) within 1 month(s)
I don't want to sell to anyone who has ANY unpaid item strikes. But they only let you limit it to 2 or more.

Agree, but they're seller protection takes up the slack.

I've sold a lot of different things in my day, and from what I can see, with coins, dealers are the way to go if you are just selling sealed boxes.

<< <i>Someone hit the buy it now on my 'bay eagle set...$850 And then I realized they have zero feedback. I thought my listing screened out unproven buyers but it turns out that it only limits those who have received 2 Unpaid item Strike(s) within 1 month(s) and have a feedback score equal to or lower than -1.
They have already paid via paypal - return address looks like a UPS store in L.A.
Would you be nervous about this deal? >>
Is it a PayPal approved bank account? I assume it is, not sure how scams like this work though... >>
This is why I never do auctions on ebay and always BIN with best offer so I at least have some means of screening.. >>
Huh? >>
I dont do auctions, I do buy it now listings and allow best offers. That way when someone makes an offer you can check their feedback/profile before accepting a sale. >>
How do you avoid a 0 feedback buyer from just clicking "Buy It Now" on a fixed price listing and paying your full price? You can't. Just like you can't stop a sniping 0 feedback bidder in an auction at the last second. Your thought process is flawed. >>
It's not flawed. I recently just sold to a dealer, but I had a box of 5 up on ebay. I listed it for $5,000. I know no one will spend that, but I got a ton of offers, all right around the price I wanted. I could screen every single buyer. Yes, if someone with 0 feedback just went and bought it now for $5k I could be screwed, but I have much more control over the price I get and who buys it than over an auction. Trust me, it works. Been selling exactly like this on ebay for over 6 years. Thousands of expensive items. Never gotten screwed. But in the end, to each his own. The greed of an auction can definitely be worth it in the end, but it can also bite you in the ass

Do tell, what did you get from the dealer? Curious for my notes.
<< <i>If you are just flipping, sell to a dealer. All of the ebay crap isn't worth it in the end. Ya, you might take a small hit, but that's nothing compared to what could go wrong on ebay.

The trade deal I'm working I'm more than happy with. I'll be extremely more than happy when all the shipping is done and it's all nice and final.
<< <i>I see MCM has posted prices for sets on their site -
OGP - $949
NGC 69s - $1249
NGC 70s - $2995 >>
Now a day later, a visit to MCM site shows price revised up $50 and $150 respectively for QGP + 69 sets, 70 sets remain unchanged -
OGP - $999
NGC 69s - $1399
NGC 70s - $2995

The "win" would be the chance to open your sets, pull out the cull non-keys, substitute better looking coins, and STILL get the 25th Annie SET label on all of them. Another "win" would be the dramatic decrease in shipping costs not having to ship 15 lbs. of stuff for 25 ounces of coins or take the chance of paying to grade coins with bite marks in them.
The "point" was that it would be label as "25th Annie SET" instead of just "25th Annie"
I thought it was clear...
I quoted exactly from another forum and I no idea how to spell the ANACS rep's name....sorry
<< <i>The shipping info inside would confirm the date...it's located top right corner of the slip >>
Couldnt they also use the tracking info ?
<< <i>These sets are hot! I put my 5 on ebay and it sold in less than 1 hour for $4300! to a very reputable buyer. Off to the post office! Only wonder what these will go for in another month.
Very nice! That has to be near a record high price or close?

Probably..but that would take more effort than just opening up the box

<< <i>I don't want to sell to anyone who has ANY unpaid item strikes. But they only let you limit it to 2 or more. >>
i have 2 of them this year, maybe 1 other in the last 11 years & 100% feedback.
i was on vacation when 2 auctions ended, 1 for $1.99 and another for $3.25.
the day i returned was the last day to pay (say in the AM) by that evening there were no 'pleasant' communications to correct my delay.
i specificly let them know i would pay right then, and was rebuffed on both.
at least 3 sellers HERE have allowed me to bid on their auctions.
most of the others have removed the block and allowed me to bid from a single ebay email.
it's still a PITA!
i understand a sellers concern, but the 'story' behind a non-payment is never known.
in my case, both the sellers did not have 100% feedback.
If you end up with a non payer in an auction, you still have the coins.
If you get a bad buyer, you have paypal seller protection.
If you don't sell on ebay, you have zero problems with ebay.
