Thoughts On This 1892 MS-65 PCGS Barber Dime.

Nice dime. Decent color. I don't think it'd CAC. Still, I think he'd also take $475. If you like it go for it.

I tried $475 and he said bottom was $510 but I have come up a decent amount so far, I started at $300 just to feel him out somewhat, and I think if I go for $500 as my top offer he will come down a little from his bottom to make the sale.

It's nice but his other pictures suck.

Good luck!

So if I offer him 485 I'd get it?
I'm just messing with you.


Let us know what happens!

No new news on the 65. however I noticed this coin on ebay from david Lawrence rare coins and was wondering what you guys thought.

I'm not impressed with the hair detail from what I can see and the same with the reverse leaf vein detail on the one leaf. as a p mint id expect a better strike. while the 64 is caced I think id still prefer the 65 over it, although I will admit the 64 does have it's appeal.

dave, I meant to but apparently forgot to ask a question of your thoughts. is your concern that it could be artificial or hiding something or that you don't personally like the toning and consider it non eye appealing?(something I totally respect if you do).

I have been thinking about it and I really wish I could see the 64 from david Lawrence w/ the green cac bean in hand. I'm thinking that the luster and toning might look a lot better in hand possibley. it has to have something going for it to get that bean and maybe amazing luster in hand and nice eye appeal and pretty clean devices and fields (well, to my eyes blown up as large as my comp lets me) led to it. regardless, I think id be able to tell within a few moment of it being in hand if its the coin for me or a definite pass.

I think the 65 mentioned in the first post is probably in the same "know in a few moments if it's the one you are looking for or not once in hand" category after thinking about it more. if I do buy it at some point I am going to make sure I get it through ebay email that the seller will accept a return within 14 days hassle free if I don't feel like the pictures were a good representation of the coins or it doesn't look as good in hand as in the pics to me.
a bit off topic but do any of you guys know how ebay bucks would work if I say bought an item and then decided to return it?
thanks guys!

Only a few more days before the 2 weeks is up and no word still from him. I suppose it's possible he'll wait as long as he possibley can before accepting hoping to get more from someone else but I'm not too optimistic honestly.
I am going to stand my ground for now still. i'll probably extend the $475 offer another few weeks once it's up in a few days.
Another possibility is ebay throwing me a %10 ebay bucks special thing making it $450 if I get it for $500. I think even if he were to stick to $510 all the way id probably give it to him. my only concern here is that I got one of those specials last month on a day when I had planned to purchase a $200 item anyway so I took advantage of it. do you think it will be a while before they throw me another one since I just used one last month?

Don't play around with the OBO too much.
You only get to make 3 offers and then ebay blocks you.
