Dime collection.

coinlieutenant · December 4, 2005 10:31AM

Gerry is bidding on it, but is it worth that? I priced it and came up with something completely different, and much lower.

DNADave · December 4, 2005 10:34AM

wow, thats a nice collection.

66Tbird · December 4, 2005 10:35AM

Thats a lot of dimes,,,,, +1

Coinhusker1 · December 4, 2005 10:42AM

It may be the pics, but a lot of them look cleaned, and the ones that have unc. details do not appear to have much luster.

coinlieutenant · December 4, 2005 10:45AM

AND...the seller says no returns on "collections".

coinguy1 · December 4, 2005 10:48AM

Perhaps I shouldn't be, but I'm amazed that people would bid that type of money on uncertified coins, many of which have obviously been cleaned, with far from fully revealing images and no return privilege. Amazing!

coinnut86 · December 4, 2005 10:52AM

so whats it worth?

Peaceman · December 4, 2005 10:53AM

I'm surprised he wont take $44G for them... +1

tradedollarnut · December 4, 2005 10:56AM

Wow - cool set!

You gotta be active in these to know what true market value is.

BlindedByEgo · December 4, 2005 10:57AM

<< so whats it worth? >>

It's worth what somebody will pay for 50 years or work?

coinlieutenant · December 4, 2005 10:59AM

TDN,

But with no return priv? Gerry is active in the market, but the pics suck and the collection is missing many keys..

Or 50 years of pleasure.

The seller is a board member. 'Bunker' by handle.

LastExitInNY · December 4, 2005 11:02AM

With the reserve not met , will he/she/they fare better with the individual auctions as they say they will hold?

Barry · December 4, 2005 11:04AM

How can there be a return priv on a set like that?

It would be too easy for some sleazebag (such as Dr. Sheldon) to substitute a bunch of coins then send it back.

coinlieutenant · December 4, 2005 11:06AM

Barry,

I agree, but how could you possibly bid 44K on a set like that with no return? Perhaps having seen the coins before?

DRUNNER · December 4, 2005 11:06AM

Just closed @ $44k.

Would have been better to march out the 10 key dates or so and show them close out. The key cc's, 85-s, 60-0 and others drive the set. One would have to have a lot of faith to bid strong on this as Coinguy1 stated. 197 coins? I'd have thought more like half the amount of the reserve or less. But pricing varieties is not a skill of mine nor would I pay much more than type for them. Others would not doubt pay more who specialize.

Just saw a half dime set complete with about 90 coins in that. It sold for $2200 or so. But of course no comparison in rarity. A half dime set is pretty completeable...not so the dime set.

Thats exactlty why there is no return.

I did not expect the coins to sell..I am actually suprised the bidding got so high. The whole purpose of listing the entire set was to advertise them being listed on a individual basis.

The pictures were crappy... it was about 30 minutes of work.

ldhair · December 4, 2005 11:12AM

Crazy.
How do you ever go about putting a price on a set such as this if not in hand?
Just a few of the coins could move the value a great deal.
The first 49-0 makes me want to see it up close.
I can't see folks bidding to these levels from those images.

Barry · December 4, 2005 11:13AM

<< Barry,

I'm with you. I didn't bid on the set.

Hopefully, when he lists the coins individually, he takes the time to take some quality pics - not like the out of focus ones in this auction.

coinlieutenant · December 4, 2005 11:14AM

Bunker,

I wrote you about pics of the 72-s (which I am still waiting for btw...

).

My question is whether or not there will be a return priv on the individual coins?

J

Bunker · December 4, 2005 11:21AM

There will be a 10 day return policy on those coins....and the pics will be better.

A return policy with that many coins dosent work for me..to many shady people could exchage a coin or 2 and send it back

Ok...I give...what is going on here?
