Submission Results: Seated Orleans Poor to Fine.

Just the average worker-bee collection.
In 2012 I bought 20 coins for my registry set on ebay. Plus one of the BST board.
Here are the results.
After completing the Orleans issues for the Barbers, I found the Seated to be tougher, so I
resorted to buying RAW.
Price guide guesses for Gen are 1/3 to 1/2 of problem free.
I used 2/3 good for AG and 1/3 good for Fa
Used good-4 price for the PO-1
Total cost includes grading fees and shipping
I am pleased with results.

My Cost includes everything I have into the coin: Purchase, shipping, shipping to PCGS, grading fees, return shipping.
That way I can compare apples to apples with coins bought already graded.
The layout is just a modification of "my inventory" under "my registry" on the PCGS website.
Chose to sort by cert number,
cut and paste the block for this submission
Copied into excel
elimated some columns, and made pretty for here.
Ran a few stats.
The "My Inventory" feature I find very helpful in deciding sometimes to make a purchase or not.
I can quickly look and see if I need, or if I had what I have and how much I paid.
For example, Feb 6 a 1853-O VG-8 Half dime is on ebay for $37.50 shipped.
I looked and say that mine was a XF45 bought on ebay in 2008 for $80, with a current price guide of $115.
Doing some quick math, I figured I could net $98 on ebay for the XF45, pay for the VG-8, and have $60 extra
in the coin fund.
Having the data avalable in "my inventory" allows me to evaluate quickly instead of trying to find the coin in
a box in grandma's safe and ....... (well, by then it's sold, I would be too late.)
