spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 12:44 pm I was searching for a nice type-1 Standing Liberty quarter and came across this PCGS XF40 coin. It only had 35 minutes left in the auction so I put a bid in and figured I would be easily outbid by a sniper or two, but I ended up winning the coin. The picture of the coin/slab is not that great in the photo but I figured that with it being PCGS certified it isn't as imperative to have a sharp and clear photo of the coin. As far as the coin's value it seems like it went for a fair amount under what a PCGS XF40 is valued at. Now I am not complaining of getting a good deal (hopefully) but I became a little leery after winning the auction. I don't deal much in Standing Liberty quarters I just wanted a nicer one for my type set so I am just curious is that a decent deal? Anything to be concerned about?

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 5:42 pm I don't like the fact that you can't even make out the date. photo's from this seller are not good at all. I hope you make out ok on this coin. In my opinion if the SLQ was a type 1 ,cert.EF-40 by PCGS; you would of have more than 5 bids on it !! sorry if I burst your bubble. Report this Post to the Staff
spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 10:04 pm Thanks for the responses everybody. T-Bop, that is what I was concerned with. The odd angle of the photo and it is difficult to make out the date which is odd for a coin graded XF40. I was very content with my bid because it was PCGS certified and they are very well-respected and the seller has great feedback and hundreds of sales. I am probably worried over nothing, but I did find it odd that the bidding ended at what I considered a low number. I am happy about getting it on the cheap side, but it seems like coins usually get bid up at or above value on PCGS coins (even the greysheet ask is around $110 for a raw XF coin). I will say the seller did ship the coin very quickly so that is good service so far... Report this Post to the Staff

IMO the seller screwed themself with poor pictures. I'm sure it's a nice coin. You could easily flip it for a profit. Report this Post to the Staff
