denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 12:27 pm Never bought from them, but if you are intrigued about the coins, they look like low grade common dates that are probably worth no more than silver value. As for the coin they picture is 1886 in VG/F for $47.50 I bought a 1886 in MS condition last summer at an estate auction for $31 Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 12:56 pm Intrigued by the site? The coins are not intriguing. Certainly would not pay 47 bucks for that 1886. No eye appeal IMO and not in great shape. AU coin at best. 32 bucks max. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 2:35 pm Note the seller states there are two available, and all 4 images are from the same coin. You might not even get the coin you're looking at. Report this Post to the Staff
ninamason Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 2:49 pm Etsy is for vintage and handmade items. I'm a little surprised they allow coins . . . although it is rather amusing to see a Roman Constantine coin listed as "vintage." Anyway, from what I see here it looks like many coins--not just from this seller--are overpriced. Search to your heart's content, but keep one hand on your pocketbook lest a pickpocket get it.

Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 5:20 pm I would pass on this myself. I saw some today at a pawn shop in better shape for $39.95 and I am sure that price was negotiable. They are also listing the sale as "Pre 1900" so you could be getting anything.

peterplanchet Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 6:50 pm The coins clearly fit under the "vintage" category. Perhaps someone will uses them as buttons. Report this Post to the Staff
Weezer1878 Valued Member United States 349 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 7:20 pm Oh I'm not buying coins from there by any means. Most looked over priced. Just very interesting that Etsy allows them to sell coins. Report this Post to the Staff
