NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2282 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 7:02 pm These Coins are not worth $35, the fact that you think you got a good deal says a lot.

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 04/19/2023 8:43 pm Here's what Numismedia value says if they straight graded: 1858 1c VG $36 1883-P 10c VF $20 1884 5c VG $31 1935-D 1c AU $1.73 So if they straight-graded, it would be $88.73, and if I recall correctly, the seller claimed $100 worth. How you spend your money is your business, of course. Report this Post to the Staff

How you spend your money is your business, of course. I SERIOUSLY doubt anyone would pay a fraction of $88.73 for the coins shown. I see environmental damage and regular damage on the V nickel, basically a cull. The dime is AG/G4 at best. Neither is what I would consider a collectible coin.

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 09:39 am @luvmyCAM has great points. I find studying as much fun as collecting and the hobby much more satisfying once I understand the details of a series and focus on those. This is all personal preference and I can't pass judgement on what someone does in their coin buying. I'm sure there are many on the board who would think I've throwing good money away. I'm appreciative of the pointers I received at my local club and on CCF. Keep reading, looking and enjoying yourself!

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 10:03 am luvmyCAM has a lot of great points for someone starting out. the only thing I will add is even though a coin is slabbed does not mean that the grade presented is the grade. too many times we have seen even the top tier TPG's get it wrong and sometimes not even close so i'll add that while learning a specific series learn how to accurately grade that series as every one of them is different. Buffs are one of the hardest series to grade properly and the TPG's get these wrong quite a bit from what I have seen. probably not a good starter series good luck and take some of the comments to heart. they are only attempting to help you through you green years to not make the same mistakes they did Edited by panzaldi 04/20/2023 5:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

My point was that the seller claimed these would be $100 worth if they weren't damaged. They didn't live up to that in my view, and of course it's based on the grades they assigned themselves.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25447 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 2:58 pm Of course the seller does not accept returns. He foisted these junkers off on someone and does not want them back.

This was all on the OP. He got EXACTLY what he ordered. Everyone told the OP no and he still got it. Why should the seller allow returns? The seller clearly stated what he was selling.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 1:13 pm Arm's length transaction as far as I'm concerned. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25447 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 2:41 pm OP's original post (on a different thread) had a link to the ebay offering. Seller stated that all coins would be "details" = damaged goods and could not be returned. What we've seen so far (a bent 1883 dime and corroded 1884 nickel) leaves OP about $33 in the hole. Maybe the 1858 Flying Eagle cent and the 1935-D whatever will make it all worthwhile but I don't think so.
