Don't rely on Charlton's for pricing.

Nope, I don't rely just on Charlton's or any single source. I use several and then decide how much the coin is worth to me. My problem with this guy on ebay is he claims that the trends are one thing when they are not (in order to mislead his buyers). Then when I asked him about it, lowers the trend and calls me a troublemaker. I just like to call a guy out when I think they are trying to mislead or cheat people.

Thanks guys!

I'm behind you TwoCentsWorth, the person is just trying to bully his way through. He things that there are people out there that have no intelligence or knowledge of coins, and he is the sum total of all knowledge. Keep up the good work. I also like how you check several resources to come up with what you feel is fair for yourself.

I am out to lunch again and glad there's wi-fi access here
The sellers handle is "dreamerscott" so that should give you an indication of where his price estimate is coming from.
The listing is not "buy it now" but rather auction format.The start price is $11.99 shipping included and with one day left there are no bidders.Though he may dream that someone will believe his estimate,the start price indicates he knows the real value of the coin.
If you were to contact every seller who overstated the value,or grade of a coin,or misattributed a variety;you would be at it 24/7.Be thankful you have the knowledge to avoid these and move on to a coin you want at a price you are willing to pay.
For commonly traded coins such as this you need look no further than Canadian Coin News trends,the prices there are the current marketplace prices for cetified coins.
Now back to work

It's a buyers market for these in MS-65. We could say that Trends is out to lunch :D I sold off my MS-66 set
because it was pretty clear that prices were headed for the outhouse, and continued new finds aren't likely to help the situation. An MS-65 is questionable whether or not it's even worth sending in now.

Haven't finished breakfast yet,but I had to dig out my Charlton's to see who's out to lunch.
2010 Charlton's -MS65 $40
2011 Charlton's - MS65 $15
1cent is absolutely correct.The MS65 bubble has burst,it's a buyers market for most modern coins in this grade.

Also, I'm on lunch. Avocado Salad right now!

That had become an issue on EbayUSA with sellers listing rediculous trends on raw coins from the PCGS price guide which only applies to PCGS graded coins and usually on the very top end of value as well. ebay no longer allows trend values in auctions although PCGS trends for PCGS slabbed coins might still be allowed.

What are the trends in MS-60, 61,62,63 and 64? I got about 50 of them in those conditions?

Pretty much face in 60-62, maybe 50 cents to a buck in 63-64. The rolls are cheap, and they are not hard to find.

The CCN trends shows that coin is worth $30 in MS-65. These prices are only if your coin is certified as a raw coin will get a price quite a bit less. Charlton coin guide is a rough guideline and the way I look at it a coin is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Would you buy it for that price. I have a roll of 1964 cents all ms-65 and I could not sell on ebay for 99 cents yet the trends shows that these are worth $25 each.

I came across a few mint rolls of 2005P going through penny boxes. Even though they seem to be rather hard to find,I'm not getting excited yet.
