Quick Question About Silver Coins

I haven't done any research on these coins at all. I simply used a "Silver Coin" Calculator that was provided to me to get the bullien lowest estimate price. So being completely honest...since I'm not a coin collector, I'll be happy with anything I get. I haven't inspected any of the coins nor have I looked through them. The only things I have done were: count the amount of coins & get a rough figure of what the dates are on the coins. I have no experience in coin collecting nor do I know anything about it. I NEVER had the intentions to be deceitful...what you see is what you get, like I always say.

icancu,
Regarding the "gold" coin. It appears to be a medal of French origin. I can't make out the full name ... I see Joseph Delsert, and Elen L*****. You might try to google the names and find some additional information.

Could you tell us what all the words on both sides of the coin say?

I am concerned about the comment to remove any desirable dates and or higher grade coins and replace them with common coins purchased at a coin shop.
This is an auction. It is the sellers responsibility to know about what they are selling just as much as it is the buyers to know what they are buying.
I was considering a bid on this auction as to me it was it would represent the closest thing to an unsearched lot on ebay I have seen in some time. I am no longer interested in paying anything over melt. The lot of coins was gathered together and photographed then placed on ebay any attempt to change the intended lot in my view constitutes a bait and switch. I will be the first to admit that by reading this thread I have an advantage over most ebayers considering bidding on the lot as do the hundreds of other no forum members who may or may not have seen this post.
I just consider myself a more informed buyer.

I was going to bid on it as well Richard but will not now for the exact same reason. I guess my view wasn't as far left as once thought ....lol.

For me it comes down to honesty and to cherry pick the lot after it's been photographed and listed is, in my opinion, wrong and to sanction such behavior is just as wrong.

With no value on it, I'd bet on that French isssue being a medal not a coin. I also can't find any comparable French coins on Numismaster.

As for the rest of the lot, if you want to maximize your profit, go to numismedia and find out if you have any key dates. If you have key dates, edit your sales info to express that and post some good pictures on ebay. That way you maximize your profit while maintaining your integrity.

icancu202, the easiest way to do it is as I already stated, get a RedBook from teh library (how far out of date it is doesn't matter), scan the RedBook for the coins you have. If the prices for any date/mintmark you have stand out compared to the others, you at least have a desirable coin (if not a semi-key date).

Scan any coins that stand out in the RedBook and add them to your auction description.

Good Luck

PS, the first sentence in this post was joke, don't take it the wrong way.
