With a shipping price of $5.15 costing in total $30.15 I think its a too high price. Nice lot though.  |

I think most people are looking for lots of silver coins.
It appears most of the coins you listed are clad and aside from the earlier wheat cents most of the coins can be found in pocket change if someone tried hard enough.

I tried to gear this listing towards beginning collectors. What do you guys think about this? Also, what would be a good price?

IMHO, I think the lot would sell for $10-$20.

It is $10 in face value. I have sold a lot like this before for this price, I have just relisted this one over and over and I don't get why it won't sell.

OK. After going back and taking a second look if it was me I would change the description to a list format rather than one big run on paragragh. This lot coins the following coins: 1 roll (20 coins) of XCXXX nickels 4 Roosevelt dimes (19XX, ect.) 5 Kennedy half dollars 19XX-D, etc.) Again since all of the coins are ones you can find in circulation maybe try throwing in a few coins that aren't such as a Buffalo nickel or Indian Head cent. Worse comes to worse do what the roll salters do: buy a lot of 20 cull buffaloes or Indian Head cents for $2 a lot and sprinkle a couple of each in with the other coin you already have. I bet if you didn't have a conscious you could make a killing like those soulless roll salters do. |

Quote:Lot of U.S. coins 2005 Buffalo nickel roll, wheat pennies 1960s pennies You may want to redo the wording. I for one don't understand what a 2005 Buffalo nickel roll is. Try rewording so all is clear as to exactly what your selling. |

 . 2005 Nickels should be called the "Bison Nickels" so people don't get confused about it. |

My guess would be the biggest problem is theyres no silver in it, and nothing is really rare or still in mint cello. Just kind of one of those things that doesn't make people want to jump at it. If you had any silver you wanted to sell you could try adding that onto it and see if thatll get the action going

If you added just a worn down Mercury dime, you could probably get some bids at $25. At least that's how I think. |

no offense but clad circulated mostly modern coins are not going to sell for 2.5 X face plus shipping very often..I would follow the advice about adding a small amount of silver to move the lot

I always start at .99 cents opening bid but if that's too low for you, you could always start at face value. With a start at 25 bucks people will just cruise right on by. People wanna try and get a bargain and then get caught up in the bidding.

You can also add in your description that the 2005 Bison Nickel roll was part of the Westward Series (2004-2005) and was a 6 month issue only. |
