Thanks guys, I really appreciate your input. Little worried but I listed it with starting bid of .99 Hope I don't regret it. I know sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Either way, someone is going to get a great coin  |

I would grade that one as MS-62 Red. Good luck with your auction.

Send it in The Piece will come back @ MS62 Red from ICCS . I think the coin probably looks better in hand . DO NOT auction it on ebay starting it at 99 Cents , you will get massacred. The Canadian Coin Market is rather weak these days and the Canadian Bottom feeders are out in force. List it as a BIN best offer and be patient and realistic. PS It took awhile but we recently sold an MS65 ICCS On ebay and got a very nice price . |

I am not saying I condone the practice, but it would hardly harm you if you ended that listing and listed it as a Buy It Now.

In fairness to those who are watching and bidding on it, I'm leaving it up for auction.

On the ebay debate, but I think it's a pretty free expression of supply and demand. Some stuff sells below trends, some stuff sells high-ish. Some stuff is listed as BIN and sellers get higher prices but need to wait for the right buyer to come along. Side note: how did you take such a beautiful photo? Or is that a scan? I find that what I have around is not very good for coin photos. |

Just joined this discussion....... I would have guessed an ms63 Red from ICCS and that's what the high bidder thought as well. Overall, everything worked out for the seller and bidder. I sure do wish other sellers would list at $0.99 but I think they're too scared of the current market conditions. Just a few ebay sellers left from the old days, listing their coins at $1 and seeing where the end price goes. |

Committing financial suicide as they trundle on.! ebay has certainly changed since the beginning when a festered toenail started at 99 Cents would get you 20 bids. These days ,especially with more knowledgeable buyers and sellers , the 99 Cent Auction is a very poor and iffy business model. BIN best offer is the best way for a seller to have the ability to control the price that their item is worth. This Is especially true if you have an ebay store and are somewhat trying to make a living in the coin business. Congrats to the seller , in the end this one worked out. |
