I listed a couple pieces of copper this morning, but I think I'll cool it for awhile and deal with shipping all of these out. Besides...I have a terrible time photographing copper. Hope you get that Seated dollar. It looks better in hand even than the pictures suggest...The enlargement shows every little speck amplified. Chance |

Was that dollar ever in a slab? If you don't mind me asking what do you expect it to sell for?

Sorry.....I hadn't checked here for awhile. It was never slabbed. I got it in a Capital Plastics entombed type set of US dollars. I don't know what it will bring, but I'll be OK with whatever it does. Through convoluted dealing...breaking up and reassembling the set with lower grade coins, I ended up with about 200 dollars in it.
It lists for $940.00 slabbed at 53.....but it's raw, so knock a hundred off that value because if you aren't a member of PCGS or NGC, that's about what it ends up costing you to slab it through a dealer.
So...I would consider $800 to $850 to be retail....but I'll be surprised if it brings anywhere close to that amount. I'm pleased with where it is right now, given what I had invested in it.

I hope to be the highest bidder, any CCF Member discount.  I'm trailing on the coat tails of #1. Thanks |

I hadn't figure any kind of discount into my calculations, and what I do for one listing, should be extended to all of them. While I'm doing well on this one, there are others that are going to be losers for me....so it's a break even (maybe), all things considered. I do have some material that I will offer here at good prices (after the current crop of auctions has been dealt with) rather than paying all of the ebay fees, so maybe I can extend an olive branch to my compadres here in that manner.

Man...Looks like somebody may get a steal of a deal on the 1896 Barber quarter. There are a couple album slide scratches on Liberty's cheek, but the coin has not been scrubbed. I'll give a report later...but am happy with the way things have transpired thus far. If you've bid on my material, win or lose, I thank you. Chance |

Well........Day 1 is in the bag. Winners outpaced losers 28 to 4. The 4 listings I lost money on totaled a combined loss of 160.00. Overall, I feel like I did just fine. I am not a "saver"....and this is my way of saving money. Even after selling expenses, I did a good bit better than I could have done had the money simply been deposited in a bank. Now...The big surprise of the day was the 1917 Walking Liberty half, which brought an astounding 200 dollars and covered all of the aforementioned losses that I incurred. The last gold I bought...was when gold was 900 an ounce, so I didn't lose anything on any of that material. I lost 4 dollars on 2 1993 prestige proof sets, 75 dollars on the 1871 Seated dollar, 74 dollars on the 1896 Barber quarter, and a couple bucks on something else that escapes my feeble mind at the time. It was insignificant though. I am happy with today's results, and after having paid my selling expenses, I will have netted enough to pay off my house...and that's going to feel pretty good. There are still 4 listings that end tomorrow, and I'll start a new round of auctions...and a new topic here....in a few days. Thanks to all who have helped. Chance Edited by Chancellor Sutler

I just won the Shield w/ Rays, have been looking around for quite awhile. It should look nice in my 7070. Nice to buy on ebay from fellow CCF member. Duke Edited by The_Duke
