Blast white classic commemorative auctions are UP!

Iwog · February 26, 2017 1:07PM

$1 minimum bid, no reserve, all sales final. 7 day auctions. This is just the beginning and I will be selling many many more over the weeks to come.

IMO, you should try selling your coins on BST before posting on Ebay...

Iwog · February 27, 2017 11:28AM

Can't do it. I don't know what they are worth. They are different than 99.9% of all commems offered for sale and that includes every single coin at the large coin auctions.

Let the market speak!!!!!

Beautiful coins, for sure. Your IOWA commemorative doesn't list the grade (MS66) or, "PCGS" in the title. You may perhaps miss out on some selective bidders and thus have it close at an unfair, lower price because of it.

Iwog · February 27, 2017 11:52AM

Thanks for the heads up.

Knock on wood. I wasn't kidding when I said you can't find coins like this anymore. Most people don't think you can even get a Spanish Trail with blast white luster.

Sweet coins! Are there any you're keeping, knowing they're simply irreplaceable?

denali12 · February 28, 2017 5:26AM

thanks for the head's up! some really nice coins that i'm bidding on already, thanks for letting us know

IMHO the decision to put the collection on Ebay was the correct one...quick sale...anyone here who wants them can bid on them...or make a private offer...greater exposure to more buyers...especially buyers who love blast white...

I had a Spanish Trail
Not as nice....but....

It's the RENAISSANCE of COMMEMS !!!

Green18 · February 28, 2017 4:36PM

Wow, you can post over here? I see op's original thread was 'yanked'............nasty business in dees parts.

Green18 · February 28, 2017 4:40PM

Wish I'd had a crack at your blast white Spanish Trail, OP. The one I got (many years ago) is a 'gun metal' gray. I still love her, though.

denali12 · March 1, 2017 5:32PM

Spanish trail just past 1,100( $1,127.00 ) with 3 days left.. just to let O.P know.. many of these will have big jumps in last minute.. have been trying for awhile on blast white comm.'s and many "snipers" abound on ebay for these

NotSure · March 1, 2017 7:15PM

Man, I thought these blast-whites needed lovin' about as much as a 3 legged, one eyed dog, hence my assembling a set in blast white!! I thought there was going to be some bargains, though obviously, the Spanish Trail I knew would do well....boy, was I wrong!! Great choice in letting the coins sell themselves on ebay!

Yes I noticed the Spanish Trail has 31 watchers. I think that's a new record for one of my coin auctions.

I remember when I was looking for one of these and was frustrated as hell going from show to show and asking to see examples only to reject them all. I might see one or two blast white commems at a typical Heritage auction but they were always Oregon Trail or San Diego coins. I think a dealer located this for me and I paid a pretty good premium at the time.

Iwog · March 8, 2017 3:41PM

Everything sold. Thanks guys! I'll have the next batch up when they get back from PCGS which is hopefully very soon.

were you happy with the prices? some seem to find a real strong market

Iwog · March 9, 2017 7:12PM

Yup, I'm satisfied. Most got pretty close to the PCGS price guide which seems to be a real feat these days. I think the buyers will find these are pretty unique considering I always picked strong luster and coins devoid of problems over everything else.

More coming this weekend. Not sure what is going up but lots of variety.

Cool!!... I tried on a few, but lost out to higher bids right at end.. have to adjust bidding strategy I guess- glad will get another shot at some blast whites

Bump for the new ones.

Iwog · March 19, 2017 9:31AM

Thanks! 30 minutes until close.
