Re: Lazy Man's Coin Collection Dispersal
If you offer to Great Collections and allow them to sell as a couple lots or maybe 4 lots, BU Half’s & BU Dollars, Proof Half’s and Proof Dollars if you have both BU and Proofs and allow a group photo or 2 per lot I bet Ian would sell them. They do sell raw coins. Can’t hurt to ask. Also check with a local auction… -
Critique Images Please
Hi, new to the forums, coins and coin photography in general. I am not a photographer but I have hung around a few photo shoots to get the concepts of fill/diffused light and white balance. By reading the postings on photography in these forums the following images are some of my results. Please let me know how I may… -
Re: Raw coins not graded
But that's all you need to know. Or at least that's what I realized when I went into a local coin shop for the first time in 30 years and ended up arguing with the seller about grading, TPG services, and whether a "Fine" SLH should have all letters in LIBERTY visible. The shop owner said yes, and I argued that that isn't… -
Tried the new eBay first class shipping envelope-results
Obviously this is a small sample. After reading on the forum about other sellers having success with this, I thought I would try it. I had some low priced coins I could list. I shipped 19 raw coin orders using the cheaper First Class Envelope Rate with no real tracking, between OCT 2 and OCT 11. (eBay says they have their… -
Re: Wow, I cant believe this sold for so much....1965 Topps Set..$3000
OMG: a seller who actually grades his cards close to PSA and sells raw. He should be banned from ebay/feebay. What gives? I am beginning to believe that alot of people on these boards need to see the mental health board, if it is graded by PSA it is over graded , stolen scan, cracked slab, trimmed card (that slipped by the… -
Re: Is the Registry going to die?
It is impossible to build a graded set through submissions anymore with the prices, particularly vintage. I have been working on grading out complete 1954, 1956, 1959, 1960 and 1961 Topps baseball sets that I inherited from my father in-law many years ago. Used to be I could submit a couple hundred at $4/card (min 100… -
Re: Will PCGS answer the Airview challenge?
I made my own air-view holders before there were slabs and all coins were raw. I didn't care for flips and preferred the 2"X2" cardboard fold and staple holders but didn't like the ultra-thin cellophane windows in these holders. I would remove the windows and put my coins in half a Saflip brand flip (Mylar) and then staple… -
Take aways from Heritage Early Coppers auction.
Last night I spent 2 hours watching the live bidding from the Early Coppers auction. Top take aways: Colonials- almost every lot sold at CDN price. Very little bidding. Half Cents- weakest bidding of any group. Red half cents as low as 25% of PCGS price guide. Large Cents- Early large cents sold below PCGS price guide but… -
Re: MY two biggest personal dislikes in the hobby...
* Coin shops that are nothing more than bullion pawn shops. Example: They buy ASE's $2 below spot and sell $17 over spot. Everything and everybody is behind 1 inch plexiglass, no raw coins to search, just a lot of slabbed coins with "CLEANED/UNC DETAILS" labels. * Ebay sellers who don't answer your email asking a question… -
Re: Has anyone had cards come back as trimmed, cracked and resubmitted elsewhere?
Presentation sets are super rare. While it is possible that you have a card from one, they are generally kept together or graded out. Selling singles raw would be pretty rare (at least I have not seen any advertised as from Presentation Set). I have bought a couple of partial sets, after they had been cherry picked by…
