Thanks for the advice so far, and the nice comments on the coin. Another question I forgot to ask was regarding return policy. From my limited research so far it sounds like buyer's like to have a return period...is that recommended? If so, how long...one week sufficient? (Maybe this isn't the best place to ask these questions but I really appreciate the advice!)

IMO you might as well accept returns. It gives the buyers peace of mind, plus ebay will most likely back the buyer anyway on a return. |

You might consider consigning this coin to a big auction house like Heritage Auctions. From what I've learned so far, it sounds like the auction houses may not auction a coin like this without regrading/slabbing it. I heard from GreatCollections that they would regrade coins with these older photo certificates. Since it sounds like collectors may be interested in the certificates, I'm more inclined to try ebay with these. But I am certainly worried about selling the more valuable items on ebay. |

A bit difficult to judge properly based on the photos, but high AU is a good guess based on what I can see.

Is there something specific making it difficult...lighting, focus? Still trying to figure out how to take the most accurate/useful shots. Edited by Phaedrus29

Again Phaedrus I suggest you experiment with background color. Try a buff or manilla piece of paper I find that works best over a wide range of sliver, copper and bronze.

And here is the cert, with grade AU 50/50. It seems like in general these older ANACS certs grade coins a bit lower. My question is, if I list the coin in an auction, do I say AU 50/50 in the title/description? Do I say it should grade higher today or something like that, or will bidders be aware of that?

It would go for more than AU50 money because of the old ANACS cert.

My EAC grade is 50 for the color and the dings in the field on the obverse and on the rim. It looks to have been cleaned and retoned. Otherwise it close to uncirculated.
