Just to add, did you check out the sellers neutral feedback? 1 is about a 32 D quarter... With this snipy remark from the seller: Quote:
Inexperienced Buyer Liked the photo but not the coin LOL. What? The only way to assess a coin on ebay IS THE PHOTO! Only AFTER you received the coin can you examine it in-hand. DUH! Nothing to do with "inexperience". Sorry, but I would stay away from this seller. |

This what I expected anyway, I just wanted some other expert input as well. Edited by Dearborn

Well then I cannot buy them.
I need reassurances that the coin are not modified, polished, cleaned, and most important - are Genuine. (Bye the way - the numbers in the sellers name is his actual phone number..) So if anyone would want to call him......... Edited by Dearborn

If these were really "Choice/Gem BU" (i.e. MS65+) they would sell for over $10K total. Even in AU58 condition these coins - as a pair - are $700+ total. I would insist on buying graded only. The excuse of "but, but, but,... the seller doesn't like grading!" doesn't cut it. Quote:

The early Proof issue Washington quarters I bought the other day are PCGS graded. Like the 1936 Proof quarter that I'm expecting any day now..  Just for kicks, I searched for more like the above quarters, This guy has another listing for the same coins (or another set): ebay item number: 194049690443Edited by Dearborn

You don't want to consider AU58 for the 1932-D?
Also, don't forget that when you contact sellers directly via their own websites, they may want to work with you on the price.

Hmm. got me thinking now.. Thanks! At the very least, I feel good about all of my purchases so far ( well maybe 99.9% of them ) I did buy a fake coin a few months ago I thought may be real.. I posted about it here on these forums, got called out. and I felt silly. BUT I was only out 5 bucks. So no great loss and a nice lesson learned at the same time.. )  I do, do my homework on expensive purchases though. Like these 1932's here.. Edited by Dearborn

My only advice at this point is: don't rush it. As I was told: "Collecting coins is like a marathon, not a sprint".

"Collecting coins is like a marathon, not a sprint". Funny you should put it that way. I used to be a track and cross country runner. and I was fast. I could run 5 miles at a consistent pace and come in between 15 and 20 minutes. Easy math there. I ran 3rd place in the State back in '78. Anyway I only have one speed.. can't help it.. I guess it's the same with coins too. I set a goal and go for it.  |

He is in Florida, so be sure to call at a 'reasonable' hour for him, say , like 2 AM or so.... After I messaged him about me being reassured of the coins being genuine, I NEVER got a message back LOL. I guess I called him out... Yes he should be banned from ebay. |
