i was wondering why I got 25$ for a worn out 1905 canadian 25c quarter on ebay, so being bored I looked at the buyers recent purchases!

WHY do people actually purchase items at this cost, I need to sell to him more often

1904 and 1905 Canada .25 cents are sort of semi-key dates.

I think these are purchases by novice collectors. I would say that most of us (myself included) have overpaid for some coins when we started collecting.

1945V, I think when we first started collecting I paid $26 or 7 dollars for a heavily cleaned 1908 .25 cents.

I think I agree with this. OR maybe its just something of personal value to the person and they had to have it. Personaly value is always worth soooo much more than actually dollar amounts.

Sometimes you just have to fill that hole in your collection. Once that's done you can take your time and upgrade at your leisure.

hey guys! I totally agree with your opinions, I did it took, used to pay 40$/oz of silver before work once a week when silver was at 27$/oz so I could keep looking at it while at work, one day it hit me, why am I paying 13$ an oz for a maple, that's when I joined the forum, I was just surprised because my dealer sold me 3 x 1905 25c for less than spot to get rid of them, listed it and sold for 26$ shipped.
