Not too bad, I looked up recent actual sale prices for PCGS graded coins of the same and averaged around $95 to $120 on all but the AU Lincoln Cent. depending on cost to get them slab you won't lose money, and proves your eye is pretty good at choosing coins from often cruddy ebay photos.

Very nice, congratulations on the grades. I enjoy the look of the circle die crack through the starts on the obverse of your 1883 nickel.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

A great investment. I think you've made quite a bit of money on this. Great examples of classic coins.

The 1883 looks like a cherry pickers variety with the die Crack going thru the date too. I liked the color on these coins I'm glad they got straight grades.

Grading fees would have been too high for me, but certainly some nice looking coins!

Slerk- I take it you aren't familiar with US coins and their prices by your comment. I agree with Frog, this wasn't worth the squeeze by any means considering all of the fees, he's in the negative on a few coins actually. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

I have seen this seller pictures, to me it is Photoshop it with color highly saturated, and details overly sharpen with descriptions that seller believe it to be much higher grade.

I understand, do what you want with your collection.
Just wanted to inform Slerk that you didn't make "quite a bit of money" as an investment.
We all know canyon city coins.

I recognized the seller's image backgrounds (old time bank checks or something), notorious for AT. I'm glad you got good TPG results but a lot of his "work" gets straight grades. Sounds like you're aware of it. |

@NumismaticsFTW, You're right, I don't know much about the prices of American coins inside the country. I must admit, I don't know much about the prices of any coins at all, every time I need to find out the price of any coin, I have to search for information on the Internet.

Just happy to hear that it's still possible to purchase coins online and have them show up, AND actually come back from grading with "MS" grades and not "details/Cleaned". I have never sent any in for grading, but have purchased a few slabbed coins out of curiosity. Left me wondering who knew who, or what day they were graded because the coins and grades just didn't seem to match in my opinion. I hope when I do finally take the leap and send some off... They might end up with the same grader, same day, and same shift. Lol. If you are satisfied with the transaction jessvc 1, that makes it a good deal. Congratulations.

I once saw this seller list a few Indian Head cents that were "freshly cracked from a roll". He actually bought them all in "questionable color" PCGS slabs from Rick Snow, and deceivingly listed them as "roll fresh". Your results are favorable and congrats on the grades, but this is not a seller I take chances on. |
