SDcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 2424 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 7:33 pm so here was the ebay listing from last week. http://www.ebay.com/itm/28081874732....m1497.l2649 and here is the coin in hand. i tried to to this with my ott light. thinking of getting an ikea light... prob cheaper too now, the questions is, is this coin flipable? I paid $75+free shipping... I would think I can get $100+ for it? if not, I have an ms64 Cleveland Comm that I think I can get $150+ for.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15475 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 8:02 pm Why so many of the same exact photo? Why so many questions? I'm not sure what you are looking for in this rambling post ... sooo ... I'll comment on the coin ... appears by the (multiple) photos to be a splotchy toned AU example of a common classic silver commemorative half ... great design ... not a pretty example of it.

SDcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 2424 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 8:15 pm sorry david. i ramble... but this was part of an experiment I guess. trying to flip and make an profit. i guess with so many questions, why didnt you answer any of them? Report this Post to the Staff
muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7195 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 8:19 pm Nicklesearcher was very nice in his statements on this coin. The toning is unattractive and that also is being nice. As for "flipping" you would be lucky to break even on your expenditure with the fees on ebay. This coin would be a pass for serious collector. Report this Post to the Staff
SDcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 2424 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 8:32 pm i dont mean to sound harsh. I know he was being very nice and informative. i really wanted to know what you guys thought as per the grade and if I were to sell it, would I be able to make a profit if any. and now, I feel like I have a good answer. I probably shouldnt have bought it if that was my intention. I may as well put it in my 7070. =D Report this Post to the Staff
mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 9:08 pm Wow. Is it just me or is it that time of the month? Anyhow, I don't say this often but I think this coin would benefit from an expert dipping. Try that and then sell it. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15475 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 9:11 pm SD ... truly pleased that you are here sharing these great commemorative coins with us ... Quote: i guess with so many questions, why didnt you answer any of them? You asked ... sooo ... I will provide some honest answers beyond my kind reply given above. Your $75 San Diego pickup with it's blotchy toning is an ugly example of a great coin ... and not attractive to any serious collector that has a true interest in this great series of coins. Quote: but this was part of an experiment I guess. trying to flip and make an profit. You made a $75 mistake ... unless you can hopefully find a newbie on E-Pray who does not know better ... you can not IMHO flip this coin for the price you paid and make a profit. Quote: i really wanted to know what you guys thought as per the grade AU-something IMHO ... but impossible to judge through the photos and splotchy toning. Quote: I may as well put it in my 7070. =D That's probably the best plan going forward. Sooo ... have I now answered the questions. Looking forward to photos (one only please of each side) of any future silver commemorative you come across. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
SDcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 2424 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 10:04 pm my apologies David if I came across rash or anything. I greatly appreciate your input. questions answered and I will mostly likely sell my 36 cleveland comm to make up the difference... Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5626 Posts	Posted 02/15/2012 10:23 pm IN My opinionI have seen this coin looking better, I seriously believe the coin, in this condition grades better than AU, I see plenty of original luster, I see a crisp strike, where it is clearly able to be seen. I do not know what your intentions are for the coin, I collect commemoratives and I DO NOT have this sweet coin in my collection, IF I read this correctly you spent $75.00 dollars, IMO, You did well, sure the coin has some "hard on the eyes issues", past that, you have a nicely struck, lusterous coin with good bones. I would NOT clean the coin in any way, I see how people could easily say the coin has a "hard on the eyes" look, but they are not looking past the surface, IMO. I collect commemoratives and this coin is NOT as bad as it on first look, appears, just my opinion, collecting since 1963, goodluck, Mike..... Report this Post to the Staff
