Dansco 7070 For Sale

They only have 1 negative feedback and there is a 3 day return policy. He seems to have a good history of putting together Dansco sets that people rate highly. Nothing near this high dollar though.

Thanks for the comments okie-colin. I checked this fellow's "Feedback left for others" on toolhaus dot org and found out that he has been a very unhappy buyer on many, many coins.

I took a little different approach to rolling up a value. I did a quick calculation based on worst case. I came up with around $7,000.

Now, this is admittedly low - I know that. It's a quick calculation and I probably undervalued some of the coins, but there's also that risk if you break it apart and try to re-sell, that you don't get full value for some of them

So, that's the price at which I think if I sold the coins separately, I would absolutely positively be able to get that much back out. And likely it leaves quite a bit of room for a little profit. But it's a floor price so to speak - a minimum value.

I think that is the problem with trying to sell this as a set. There are some really nice coins in there, but they get stuck in the set and can't really realize their full value. Take the 1853 Half - Arrow/Rays. It says it's AU. It probably is. But there's a really wide range between it's value at low AU ($400 or so) and high AU (close to $1000). Was it ever dipped or cleaned? Who knows - there's only the one picture and there's lots of other coins to worry about also - so you've got to bump the value down.

Same with the 1826 Bust Half. Is it really XF and could you get full XF money for it or maybe you only get VF money for it. So is it worth $100 or $200 on ebay?

There are just too many AU coins in there where it's too hard to tell if they are AU-50 or AU-58. Too many UNC where you can't tell if they are MS-60 or 61 or MS-63 or 64. Or worst case, AU-58 sliders. Lots of coins that might be worth $25 or $75 depending on the day of the week and how they actually look in hand.

I'm not really sure why this guy didn't break these coins out and sell them separately. He sells a lot of other raw coins. The $10K price makes me think that'd he'd be netting a little profit on this one. Not sure, though, but those are my thoughts (admittedly out of sync with some of the other opinions here, which I also respect).

Best regards,

Hi guys, I am actually the seller of that collection. Someone from another forum pointed this thread out to me. Let me first say, that I do not have 10K invested here. I have bought these over the last few years and work for a coin dealer and have gotten some great deals. There are some problem coins in there and I try to point out that on every one that I know about. I wouldnt in a million years expect someone to "buy it now" and mail me 10 grand and then drop this in the mail. This is a pretty major collection and I would want the buyer to ask lots of questions and preferably see them in person. I dont want to sell it, then have to take it back.

I buy a LOT of stuff. You shouldnt go by the number but by the percentage. And there are a lot of weasels on ebay. I expect sellers to treat me the same way I treat my customers. My DSR's are all 4.9 and I have no negative feedbacks for sales. Only from a seller who bought a $5 coin from me so he could leave me a retaliatory negative feedback.

ebay just removed my lone negative feedback and suspended the guy that left it.

For those of you interested in my set. There are about to be 3 coins replaced when the new ones I have purchased arrive by mail.

My Braided Hair Large Cent is going to be replaced with this:
