Hi Castor...thanks for the visual. It helps...the thing that I have a hard time with is when there is wear on the coin...hard to tell if it is blunt or just worn down pointed 7. When I sell these on ebay I just want to make sure I label them correctly. |

Your second picture is also a pointed 7
Look for a space between the 7 and the twig.
Even a worn pointed 7 will still be close to the twig.
A blunt 7 will always show a space between the 7 and twig.

Ok, yeah that's good to know I will definitely look for that, thank you JImmyD!! Man these coins that my neighbor gave me are so awesome. I have a ton of research to do on them. ebay is so crazy about the prices...I just shake my head at some of the outrageous and to me fraudulent pricing that goes on with the coins being sold there. Hard to gauge what a coin should sell for...plus supply and demand, grading, etc. Is there a room or forum community here that gives pricing advise? Thanks!! Edited by devilwoman

Don't go by the ebay asking price, a seller can ask anything he wants up to $2500.00 for a raw coin on ebay. Go by the sold prices, this will tell you what they are going for. Looking forward to see what else you have. |

Well, even the prices here I find out of whack on the high side. Even the auction prices seem not solid. When pricing coins, don't ever take a single source for prices or value. ebay can be one, auctions another and the CaC guide can be used as well. However, ALL book prices, Charlton, Haxby, ebay and Cac are "wished for" you need to lok ar as many inputs as possible: https://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php |

All great information on pricing. I have used the information on this site as well as others as mentioned in this posting. Totally agree with you both on the ebay pricing...I ONLY look at prices coins have sold for and then research on the net for others that seem reasonable. On ebay I also look at WHO is selling the item. If they have 0-50 positive feedbacks then I stay away from them for the most part. Clearly newbies who create an account have not in my mind earned enough respect to be considered. Granted new people come on to ebay with good intentions...but not everybody. Anyway...yes I will post more of the items from my neighbor...bless her little heart!!  |

Should I post the treasures from my neighbor here or would there be a better more appropriate place do post them....?

You should post each different coin, or set of coins, in its own topic post. Would love to see more of what you were gifted.

You may post coins that you have questions about, but you shouldn't pirate a thread to show your coins, just to show them.

Yeah...I get it...I was asked by two posters to show them the gifts I received from my neighbor...so that's what I did...but no worries, going forward I won't be posting any more pictures. I've requested to have all my photos deleted from this site. It will free up space for others to use.

Devilwoman .... You can post all the photos that you want and there's lots of room. You hijacked a thread on a different topic to start showing your your things. People here are/will be glad to help with any questions. We welcome new members.

How can I hijack a thread that I started?

The thread was, supposedly, on a 1947 Blunt, Pointed Maple Leaf Dot. Then it veered off into other coins that your neighbor gave you.

It veered off because I was responding to others who posted to the thread. So I'm done with this nonsense. Moving on........
