Did you see the other set on GC ? It's being sold as a lot with an opening bid of 28 k. Quite a set.

See 52Ray, a buyer is going to be hard pressed to pay more than 2K for that '77, and I'm just glad it went for $1,800.
As you said though, I also think it went pretty well.
Maybe not the best possible scenario, but it doesn't appear that the seller got ripped off on any of the coins.
I also think the '71 was a fair price at around $300, considering you can get the coin in AU-55 for a little over $500

I agree the keys sold well, I'm just confused how it all still only adds up to around $7K.. unless I'm not reading it right. I'll post the full summary in a little bit.. maybe they were deducting the $2,500 advance payment they already sent..

I went through al the GC listings twice and had but 2 of the coins in my watch list. I spaced the time and lost out. Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

I agree that the first pictures were better, but I also feel like auctions on GC tend to go for more than ones on ebay. |

Usually, but not always. People do stupid stuff on ebay. |

Another update, which I meant to post last week when the auction was happening.. it JUST ended a half hour ago. It was for the remaining two coupons from this set. I think we just screwed ourselves over. It was for the 1869/69, and the other over date which they have listed confusingly. I meant to post about them all over, but got sick, of course. Perfect timing. I estimated the 69/69 should have went for well over $600, since I think that's what he paid for it, years and years ago. How much should these have went for? 1869/69 https://www.greatcollections.com/Co...NGC-VF-35-BN1866/1--6 Indian cent RPD FS-301 NGC AU https://www.greatcollections.com/Co...C-AU-Details |

I don't think the 1868/69 is that far off. PCGS (which is usually high) has the VF40 value listed as $600. On ebay, I found a listing for $350 for a XF25 and a sold XF40 for $650. Unfortunately it is always what the market dictates. |

For the 1866/1--6, I think you took a little more of a hit due to the details grade but it could have been worse. I could not really find any good comparisons except an XF for sale at $210 by a dealer that I do not necessarily agree with.
It is always easy to look back and think that you could have take a better route. However, I do feel you did the best for your situation because you were able to liquify some funds for your father without the risk of later fighting with a dissatisfied buyer. That would have taken valuable time and energy away from your family.

As for the GC photos, the coins look 10 times better in person, not sure why they look so flat. They should have several shots with lighting at various angles so people get a really good view of all of the details, which is what I tried to do.
What exactly does 1--6 mean? Never saw anything listed like that before. Was hoping that was a good sign.

I believe that it means that only the 1 and the last 6 were repunched. Having an Rpd or DDO / DDR does not always translate into a higher sale. It al depends on how actively that particular one is being sought at that time. |
