Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 02/08/2014 3:30 pm This item: "2005 Limited Edition 2-Colour 2004 Poppy 25-Cent Bookmark with Lapel Pin", as J&M calls it, is what I have recently purchased on clearance. What is its market value? J&M has it as an item of "Price on Request". Should I go by the ebay prices, or are they overpriced? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-Specia...em518dbb8aae The reason for my question is that I got it at a way lower price than whatever's on ebay. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 02/08/2014 3:49 pm Charlton 2014 Vol 2 says there were 29,951 of these sold for an issue price of $12.95. Book value for MS65 is $20. We were looking for one around mid-2012 and if I remember correctly this was the only listing for them on ebay at the time. Report this Post to the Staff
Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 02/08/2014 6:34 pm Thanks, kuh85 I bought one from Colonial Acres for around half of that price. If grade matters, it's probably a lower grade. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 02/08/2014 7:28 pm I bought a few of these at my local PO in 2006 for $9.95. Have one intact left, and one I haven't quite freed from the plastic. Surprised that these held their value. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 02/13/2014 01:32 am My coin should make it up to MS 65 (the scratches are on the plastic). Hopefully buyers nowadays are not picky enough to grade the pin and the bookmark surface. Is the plastic bad for the coin or something? Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 02/13/2014 01:42 am I just want to put it in a 2x2 "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 02/13/2014 02:12 am I expect they've held their value because there wasn't a circulation release this year; just the bookmarks. Report this Post to the Staff
Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 02/13/2014 10:29 am I don't know if it's the image quality of pictures online, but my coin seems to be plated in a gold-coloured metal whereas the ones online look simply like a normal quarter. Report this Post to the Staff
