I have found a very nice and definetly ms 65 or better in looks and shine. Well it's a Cud and I'm just wondering is it worth getting slabbed or just put on ebay? My pics are not great because my camara is trash and I need a Better one.   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

I understand about how hard it is to get a nice photo. We've got some pretty decent photography equipment here (my husband's set-up) but it's a whole new hobby.
Anyway, I don't see any point in getting it slabbed.

I moved your post to this forum which will get more exposure.
I agree. Not worth sending in IMO.

Agreed that your photos are lacking in focus and detail.  Check out the photography forum for some expert advice. I am alas unable to judge your coin ... assume this is a Cud.  Even if it is ... not worthy IMHO of the cost to send to a TPG. If you wish to make a few $$ then sell it on the Bay ... but for sure these photos will not elicit a high bid. David |

Practice your photo taking. when it gets better re-post them here so we can have a better look. Then ebay. One suggestion is try the macro setting on your camera or use the highest resolution then crop it. |

I agree, it's not worth slabbing. If you put it up on ebay, you will need better pictures. There's a huge difference in prices between the same coins with a differing quality of pictures. I would expect $30-$35 with good pics, and maybe more. Watch out though, there are a couple people who like to send early offers on these Cuds to end your auction early and set up a buy-it-now at a low price. |

Wouldn't be worth slabbing.

Agree with the above. Assuming it is a Cud (cant tell from the pictures)...anyone who is going to bid on it will know what a Cud is and know what they have. Now if you get better pics and lets say its a MS66+ specimen then maybe I would think differently. I have a Cud that is about 3 times that size that I'm not even going to slab. Awesome find!

I would definitely get a better camera to photograph the coin before selling it on ebay. Many will not bid without better pictures. There are too many people selling so called errors that are really just damage, etc.. |

If those pictures were up on ebay, I would win it for $20, take good pics, and relist it and sell it for $40. If it were dated, it would fetch $50-$60. |
