What would you purchase for $1500 on Ebay. It can not be more than one seperate transaction. If the transaction is less than $1500 the balance left over is forfeited. Would you buy gold, silver, or platinum. Would you find a coin that you could turn around and sell promptly....


I have included Russ in the title because I recall reading awhile back that if you include Russ in the title of your thread it will generate more responses.image

    Emmm.... Probably an AU three legged buff. I dont know, a G6 16D merc sounds good. Well, then there's the AU 1909-S VDB. Can I spend $4500?

    I'd buy a higher grade $20 Liberty Double Eagle, or a MS Bust Half to fill a slot in the Dansco. Then I'd hang on to them for a long, long, time! image

    I picked up a PCGS 1952 PR68 Cam Wahington a little over a year ago for $1,200. I just threw out a bid with 2 min left and nobody overbid me!!

    Would have gladly paid $1,500 for it.

    A little less than $1,500 is actually the most I've ever spent on Ebay...and it was for a 1773 Virginia Halfpenny PCGS MS64 RB I bought 4-5 years ago. It was the first large purchase I made after getting back into collecting as an adult.

    Now, I would not even consider spending that much money on Ebay. Even if a reputable dealer was selling the kinds of coins I like on Ebay, I'd contact the dealer directly.

    I just bought it 2-3 weeks ago on ebay for $1450 and was willing to go a bit higher too. A 1935 PDS PCGS 66 Arkansas set, nice orig matched set with good eye appeal. While commems are cold, it seemed like a good value.

    LOL


    Seriously though, you will probably double your money in less than 1 year with 10 rolls of 1909 (not VDB) Lincoln cents.
