Advice on selling a couple tokens.

I have a couple of condor tokens, one is an "end of pain" the other is, "J Lackington Booksellers". They grade 63-RB & 64-BN, graded ATS. They were left to me, I would like to sell them as this is not my area of interest. I took them to my local coin shop but he really had no idea,any suggestions? I tried to upload pics but it said my file was over 50 kb and would not do it any suggestions.
not an expert,just well informed.

    2 things you will be told.

    A.) Turn on your PM function in the customize section (look top right).

    B.) Throw them in the BST US Coins Forum, preferably with pics.

    Plenty of tokens collectors here.

    The D&H numbers on the NGC slab inserts would help if your unable to post pics.

    The Middlesex Spence End Of Pain conder tokens are always very popular.

    The BST is a fine venue but your main need is to establish value.

    Once you know what your looking for there's also a few dealers on these boards that you could consign them too via memo.

    We'd be interested in the End of Pain.

    The End of Pain Conder tokens are very popular and sought after. As mentioned, post some photos on the BST and I'm sure you'll have no problem selling them. I have quite a few Conder tokens in my personal collection all posted on my website: Charmy's Conder Tokens. I may be able to help you with the value if I knew what the D&H numbers are and saw photos.

    Both tokens have different die varieties so knowing the D&H numbers is the start.

    What is the grade on the D&H 831?
  • BroadstruckBroadstruck Posts: 30,497 ✭✭✭✭✭


    << <i>What is the grade on the D&H 831? >>



    As per the OP NGC MS63RB

  • the end of pain token seems pretty popular, It is cool as can be. I need money to buy a 96-S dime in au, when I can FIND one. That and the 95-O is all I need to finish my set,I see more 95-Os for sale. In three years of searching I have seen one 96-S in au for sale and I missed it by 10 minutes.

    The End Of Pain should get you the funds needed for a AU 96-S... But not a AU 95-O! image

    The Lackington Booksellers I've seen at high $300 level ask in MS65RB and is not as popular as the other.

    I feel in MS64BN is would most likely be a $200 or less token and you'd have to find a buyer that likes the design.

    Open the photos in Paint, then resize the image so it's under 50k.

    simple fix...

    Photobucket.com!


    voila!


    by the way, you could probably also consign them to someone (such as CRO if they do that) if they are some highly coveted examples.

    Max -

    I got your PM, and responded, but since your PM function is not activated, I do not know if you received mine.
  • I must have a beat computer, I cant post pictures here,or on the BST it just tells me that I cant post over 50 kb. I have listed it on e-bay,as it was only slighty diffucult for me to put it up there,and I hope it will get alot of exposure. I have some other stuff I am going to list but seriously,it took me about one hour to list one item,between arguing with my son and taking about 60-80 pictures with what I thougt was a good camera. I work less on my full time job. For those that messaged me and it did not go thru, I apolagise,I thought it was turned on. Someone please tell me how to turn the pm function on. If this is spam or whatever, once I get better with my computer skills,it will not happen. Thanks for all the help, and check it out on e-bay if you are interestded. Thanks,Max M.

    You should try and link the eBay auction, but given your difficulty with posting the pictures here, I can only wish you luck.

    Or at least post your ebay username. Either works for us cyber-sleuths.

    EBay was obviously NOT the route for selling as this was a giveaway... This token was worth 3 times what it sold for.

    I wish I had seen that, it did go cheap, but Conders seem too on eBay. The BST would have been a better route.

  • Ah, the exact reason why I quite collecting EOP tokens, was getting them for reasonable money now, got me 6-7 now 1 more in the hopper and will snipe here and there.


  • << <i>EBay was obviously NOT the route for selling as this was a giveaway... This token was worth 3 times what it sold for. >>



    U think $1400-1500 for it?

    Tex...you were the winner?

    Better photos and adding the proper spelling of conder to the title line might have given a better result. If they don't see it they can't bid on it.

    Being listed under the right category might have helped too as this is not a US Colonial issue.
