My First Peace Dollar!

(With apologies for the mangled quote)

Me thinks the laddie doth protest too much...

Face it my friends you just can't fix stupid even with WD40 and duct tape. He will learn, move on or be happy in his special world.

$42 minus paypal fees nets $40.67... Then factor in eBays fees which are about 8%... You're at $37 and change already. Let's say you ship it as cheap as possible, still gonna cost ya about $3... suddenly you're at $34 and change. You lost ~$8, or around 20% of what you spent on the coin... that's the definition of a bad business decision.

I'd love to see your other coins, post them up here. Nothing I like more than laughing at some fool who overpaid for everything and cops an attitude about it.

Right, but the fact remains that the coin sold for the exact same price that I bought it for.

You "serious numismatists" have no idea of the market value of a coin.

I was right to buy this coin for the price I paid. You guys were wrong in your appraisal.

Read a book or something.

We were wrong in the appraisal?
We told you the actual market value of your coin; what a knowledgeable person may pay for it.
We didn't expect a fool to overpay for the polished coin.

We should read books?
Go read a good book on numismatics yourself, and LEARN, dude. LEARN.

Please stop making a fool of yourself, and learn when you are given the chance to.

I can only assume that those who have been proven incorrect yet continue to fight for their own reasoning are foolish.

I suppose you guy would have accepted no more than melt value for this coin?

It is not only foolish, but blatantly foolish to hobby in special monies and have no knowledge of values.

Give up already.

You're beaten.

I am leaving this thread, and I'm not coning back.

Good bye.

You tried to act too many parts and failed at one.

You are making a SERIOUS fool of yourself.
Something tells me you're messing with us here. Being the first poster on this thread, I still stand by my factual statement that this coin has been polished. I didn't lowball your coin. I graded it honestly. It's been polished - no doubt about it; we didn't say it's polished to be mean. Facts are facts my friend.
The fact that you continue to want to argue with experienced and newer numismatists both makes no sense to me. You've been collecting for a few months and you already think that you know everything. Uh, you don't - and neither do we. This forum is a place to learn and NOT a place to argue, please accept that.
All of us here would LOVE to teach you everything we can about your coin and future purchases. I hope your stay is better.


Want to know a legitimate reason why I said your coin was cleaned, rendering it worth no more than the $16 melt value?

Because it is. 'Nuff said.

I think this would be an appropriate time to lock this thread to prevent future arguments.
