beachloan Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 1:45 pm Seems there were some key dates in this lot. How high would you have been willing to bid? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...p=true&rt=nc Report this Post to the Staff

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5858 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 2:00 pm I dunno. The two gold coins are probably worth about $600-700 combined, and I don't really see anything else there that stands out. Even the 1917 SLQ is Type II (according to what's written on the holder), so that's not worth all that much. And everything else appears to be very, very worn. I would have bid $500-600, tops, because there's nothing there I really need to have and would just be trying to get a bargain.

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 2:04 pm . Someone got caught up in bidding war, IMO. $500-$600 sounds about right. Report this Post to the Staff
FlipOfACoin Valued Member 474 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 2:31 pm Yeah... Look at the bidding history. One of the bidders only has a feedback of 4 and after they have pushed the price well beyond what would be normal, they suddenly drop out of the hunt. So, either these bidders have absolutely no idea what they are doing, they have way to much money or there could be some shill bidding taking place, trying to push the price up on the other bidders. Just my opinion, I could be wrong though... Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 3:45 pm I wouldn't have bid just because of the shipping charges but it was definitely not a good deal for that price Report this Post to the Staff

I didn't even notice the shipping charge... how can that be justified, "Same day delivery." Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 10:14 pm To me it looked like there is/was a 1908 "S" Indian Head cent. And a 1900 Lafayette dollar, if the listing is correct. $2.60 in 90% silver two nice Standing quarters plus the gold .. I would think $800.00 to me would be a pretty good deal .. $1566 not so good Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/13/2012 11:54 am I think what a lot of you missed was the 1864 Three Cent Silver. They only show one picture of the reverse but it loots AU or better. The Lafayette looks like VF maybe XF. If the gold is real and hasn't been mishandled (the finish on the gold dollar looks odd, maybe like it has been "brushed".) then it doesn't look like that bad a deal at all.
