The '17-d is worth what? $40?
Empty Nest Collection
i can get behind the madness of top pop unc money blowing but not the 58/58+ ones.
this seems to be the ultimate in plastic overvaluation imo above lowball, toning and varieties/marriages.
thanks for sharing the madness.
.
Thanks for looking...
As for spending that kind of money on those coins...since I don't have that much disposable income...
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
Whoever buys them will own them forever!
But I'll pass on it personally.
When I was building my barber half EM set, I saw only one 1905-0 AU come for sale in 3+ years - a spotted and ugly 50 which I bought (while not so much a plastic purchase at the time as the spots grew in after the purchase and the sellers images made the coin appear nicer than it really was) for $1100 and eventually sold at a small profit. The recent heritage sale had an ugly (IMO) 1905-0 half in 53 side by side with an 05-0/64. Both PCGS. The 64 appeared wholesome and appealing from the image (couldn't see in hand), the coins closed $200 apart. To me that is equally, if not even more curious? (Politically correct?)
Edit for spelling
My other 58+ coins I paid MS61-63 price for them.
1878-S 58+ I paid 140 for, when I could get a 58 for $60. But it is the only 58+ and only 78-S AU58 CAC.

Really? I understand where you are coming from as I thought a bit of the same initially but then I thought a little more...At this point who the heck is going to see this and say to themselves "Wow, what a great deal, I need to go start bidding on this because it is soooo cheap!" Based on this, I took the post at face value, to discuss the shock and not to promote bids.

I am in agreement with you. The ones paying for ad space should be able to post a little more like this.
It is no different than when TradeDollarNut posted about the Bella collection. I didn't see the spam police then.

<< <i>JMHO-----keyman, the intent of "spam" in this case is simply redirection to the members site and/or auctions. from that perspective it is indeed shameless and the thread should be deleted and the member scolded by a moderator. >>
I see how it could function that way, sure. I see how a lot of people, not you necessarily, really enjoy trying to police the forums and it is a bit tiresome. There are rules here that can be applied with an iron fist, absolutely...but they aren't which is probably a good thing. I think we have to look more to the spirit of the rules, step very carefully and follow them the best we can as a community. If Teletrade starts posting like this every week then we have a big problem and the appropriate people will handle it, not us. But with 40 posts in 2.5 years, some being on the BST I believe and some on the US Coin forum answering questions about the auction house, I really do not believe we have a major problem on our hands given the SHOCKING nature of the post. If you feel it needs immediate attention, rather than acting as a forum police officer and posting about it, it would be more productive to go ahead and send a PM to Sportsmoderator1, HRH, DonWillis etc. I won't do this but you can feel free to. I just do not a reason to at this point. All the best.

<< <i>Based on those prices and listed prices.......that is WAY BEYOND STUPID money!!!

Remember it takes two bidiots to tango so there is a underbidiot breathing along the heels of the main.
Both are just buying a label numbers as neither coin is really exciting as a super slider as heck the reverse die state on the 17-D is the worst I've ever seen for this date.
Edited to add: OK the 14-S looks kinda nice but it's still just a $250 coin.
What these AU58+ guys need to realize is there's 25 years worth of AU58 holder coins out there that on any give day might be far nicer then what's been given a recent +.
<< <i>That's what collecting is about... Being passionate about your set/coins and hopefully fortunate enough to support it!
Thanks for looking... >>
Being passionate is one thing. Paying 20X to 50X for packaging is another story entirely. I can't call this insane as it's an order of magnitude beyond that.
The bottom line is that all the hundreds of MS61-MS62 coins out there of slightly better dates can be placed in your pants pocket for a few months to years to reduce
the grade to AU58. In comparison Beanie Babies make sense. Not quite to the tulip stage yet....but working on it.

<< <i>Makes no sense to me to pay such ridiculous prices for the 58+ grade. Interesting that so many bidders disagree with me.
I seriously doubt that anybody is even bidding.
For Teletrade to stoop to this level of promoting their auctions only goes to show how seriously in trouble Teletrade actually is.
You never see Ian on here wanting folks to "L@@K" at the current bid level of a Great Collections listing.
For that matter, you never see the folks at Heritage, who have ids, come on here and tout the bidding of one of their listings either.
But, if you folks don't mind, I expect that ole Corey will come on just about every week promoting one or two of his company's listing. Then, maybe it'll be every day or so. Then it'll be nothing but "Hey, L@@K at this!" Anything to get folks over to the site just to look around.
Now, if someone that actually participated in the Everyman's Registry had posted the silliness of the price on the two coins, there would be no problem. But, imagine the outcry if an eBay seller were to post the bidding activity or even a ridiculous Buy It Now price, on one of their own listings?
And this is different "In what way?"

Good Lord! Then stop whining about it and PM the appropriate people about it and let it go. Constant whining, crying, stomping your feet and trying to act as the forum police when you are not is just about as annoying as SPAM. Go cry to someone that cares, SportsMod, HRH, DonWillis...I am sure if they see it the same way as you they will ban Teletrade from the forums forever and ever. Please do let us know how receptive they are about your complaint. Thank you Deputy Forum Police Sir!

I have never cared nor been a fan of the registry craze. I am sure its a big profit bonanza to the dealers who have the material to cater to it. I can just see that seller planning his upcoming strip club trips.....and laughing at the stupidity of that buyer.
You need to be careful with Teletrade. The opening bid is from the seller and a lot of the time I see these at or above retail. With the 17.5% fee it can get expensive. Just take what your willing to pay for the coin like if it was a show and divide by 1.175 and this should be your max bid. I may track 20 items in a TTR auction and when its over I notice about 35-50% were unsold. This is bc the seller had too high an opening bid to get any bids on the item.
that would be a good topic of discussion: if that is what you wanted, why didn't you just form a question based on that point?? you have to admit, with a forum ID of Teletrade linking auctions from that venue only invites suspicion as to the reason. what would you think of having a discussion about how Teletrade has dwindled over the past few years to a point where the venue is almost irrelevant?? during my time as a member with this forum Teletrade was always disliked by some and ignored by many others, but it seemed a reasonable place to sell some coins and search for Varieties or the proverbial LowHangingfruit that could be found. presently, there is less offered in the once-a-week sale than used to be seen on a slow Monday and, though I hate to say it, not much even worth searching through.
is Teletrade in trouble of going out of business in the near future??

<< <i>Normally I would view a post like this as somewhat spammy. However, if those two lots really did open at $220 and $45, then I find that newsworthy as an interesting statement on part of the hobby right now. >>
Your right since no one else was tracking these we have no way on knowing if these are do to bids or just opening prices
As seriously all my years TT'g it's quite unusual to see a Sunday auction escalate this early until the final day.

I own only one PCGS AU 58+ coin... A beautiful 1930-S SLQ with a FH to boot.
It's a nice coin and I picked it up fairly reasonably... But I think I paid low MS
non FH money for it.
Now, if I had paid Moon Money for it, I would have kept my mouth shut for fear
I'd be labeled as Broadstruck mentioned ... A "ibidiot" ...
As far as SPAM goes, I think it's time for a link to Monty Python's skit on SPAM ...
it's far more enjoyable than listening to this diatribe !

MFH, I've at times spent near MS64 monies on a AU64 but the spread has never been anything that even remotely approaches 55 times PCGS values.
Secondly it has to be a coin that can walk, talk, and chew gum as a slider and that 17-D Lincoln looks like it would trip taking two steps.

you're kidding, right??
<< <i>… I think this is interesting to watch as we opened these coins at $220 and $45. >>
Corey, I think this is interesting because you no longer accept coins valued < $250.

This. Best response yet, because it emphasizes the importance of buying the coin and not the plastic.
A true collector would seek out the best AU(58) coin and resubmit (or submit raw) for that 58+ ... instead of spending 10x on these lame examples!
