    Coin is a 1938-D Buffalo Nickel PCGS MS66 CAC.

    Don't really think they could detect a variety or an upgrade from my photos?

    I sell alot of these and the price is reasonable,,,,, not too cheap IMHO,,,,,,,

    Hopefully the buyer (who posts here) will LMK what I missed?

    Well, since it won't ID the buyer tell me what I missed?

    Pack it and ship it (with a bit of added caution as a well known coin address might be a theft target).

  • GRANDAMGRANDAM Posts: 8,782 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Already packed and will ship tomorrow.

    Obviously not purchased by the auction division. So the question really should be about selling to any major dealer.

    If you made money, why worry about it? If you did goof up, make it a learning experience.

    If you sold it be an adult and ship it.

    Next time start it at a sane amount you can live with or switch to auction venue that supports that.

    On bay I may start something at $1 below bluesheet then if no bids realist $2 below blue.

    All I could really tell from the pics is that it seems to have nice luster, not a 2F. They may have wanted it for the holder as well, who knows...

    Probably didn’t lose much on a $92 coin but never know. Sold a 47-d Washington qtr Ms67 for $250 about 10 years ago it upgraded to ms 68 and sold for like 15 k still a pop 1 coin.

    Only option was LOL... but that ain't funny.

    "Sold to cheap" encompasses all of the above.

    I wonder how many would find the coin was lost or misplaced the coin?

    Luckily it was a BIN where you set the price. It kind of irks me when I have an auction, they get a rip, and you see it on their site for 2-3x what they bought it for.

    A $1495 Buffalo nickel would make a good entry in THIS......

    OMG!

    That one was the rare Branch Mint Satin Proof that the mint was warned not to strike in those letters posted in the thread
    why 1938-D Buffalo nickels were produced .

    It's worth at least six figures!
