Wow well I feel much better about it now! Glad I trusted my gut. I also picked up a 34s in great shape for 40 bucks. Maybe i'll go back tomorrow and see if he has any 28's.... lol

You were thinking "Peace Dollar," not "1921 Peace dollar." If it were a 1922 I'd have flogged him too.  |

You got it. Didn't even see the date. I'd have bought it too. Don't have one.

Speaking of ebay I notice that I have bought a few coins there and the coins were sent to me in a regular envelope with two stamps. No tracking of any kind. No way for anyone to verify if I got the coin or not. This shakes my confidence in good old ebay. There are so many crooks and deceivers on there it hurts the honest sellers. I do buy there for placeholders as you say. I have already been stiffed but ebay fixed the money refund. These idiots send you stuff 4th class mail with no tracking when it is obvious it is a coin. I was a postal employee. Not all are honest that is for sure. They stole so many credit cards the P.I.'s were arresting people every month. |

I pretty much just use ebay as a resource now to see what people are willing to pay and to just kill time looking. I'm trying to buy at my LCS now instead. |

I believe that coin would have gone for much more on ebay, so I think you did good too. |

I think you did well.  Market Value on numismedia for a G4 1921 is $61.00 Fair Market Value is $70.00 for G4 and it looks like you would beat a G4 coin with EASE!
Good pick up in this NON-EXPERT Opinion. Edited by Dar

Good buy at that price as an XF. I agree that it would bring more on ebay, as stated. In putting together your set, I'd humbly suggest you look for Fine-VF and better coins, since you've got such sharp detail on the 1921. Well matched sets have more eye-appeal, methinks. |

The only one I'm missing now is the 1928. You're gonna have fun putting this set together.

As all have said, and XF 21 Peace for 60 bucks? Yep, all day. The scratches are bad, hence the reason for the price, but they are NOT awful. And as SD said, that is a pretty good strike. All in all a great pick up. Now, for this... Quote:
These idiots send you stuff 4th class mail with no tracking Say hello to one of those idiots. I send coins such as new quarters or halves by normal post if you get only one or two. To ship with tracking costs a minimum of 1.93. Would you really purchase an Everglades P&D set for .99 and then spend 1.99 on shipping? I charge .69 for the single S coins and .99 for the P&D. And for that minimal charge, you are not getting tracking. But Don, what about all those places that have free shipping you say. Good question! Those guys do VOLUME. They can afford to not charge shipping. People like me, on the other hand, every penny makes a difference. Now, on more expensive coins, or multiple less expensive, then I charge the 1.99 and you get tracking. And I do give free shipping if the order is more than 40 bucks. So unless they are shipping an 09 S VDB with a stamp, I can relate to those idiots. |

60 bucks for EF 1921 Peace dollar is a great deal. Red Book says $140 so you got it for less than 50% of its Red Book value. Does it still have a little luster? It is a beautiful coin and next on my list. My local dealer has plenty of them, but his prices are pretty high. He says prices for this coin have gone down recently. I did see 1919-D Liberty Walker in EF (?) on ebay for less than $400. Red Book says $825. That makes me suspicious because the coin looks good....but? |

It definitely has some luster to it. It looks really, really good in hand. Just those scratches hold it back but if they weren't there I definitely wouldn't have been able to afford it!
