I'm going to see if any interest for a few more days, then let it ride on eBay @ .99 start. I have about $650 CDN (~$500 USD) tied-up in this one, so as long as I get that back after fees - I'm happy.

If I am you, I put it on Auction. Ebay is even more dead than our BST. Good coins should goto auction especially when price point is set at such a reasonable level.

Z - good suggestion, but feels a bit like too much trouble for just 1 $500 coin. I'll put the best offer option on eBay and drop the shipping cost, but also going to take it to a local dealer to get his take on it. Toronto Coin Expo is just over a week away, so if I don't sell by then I'll do some wheeling and dealing at the show.

If I didn't already have two fine examples of a portrait style 8 reale coin this one would be sold in a heartbeat for the advertised price...
Why is this still here? Talk about a smokin' good deal on a gorgeous coin!
Thanks. I'm surprised as well, but it will sell eventually at this price.
