Expecting 90% to over 100% of trends for these "Landon" large cents on ebay is dreaming as far as I'm concerned. And that's based the price on an overvalued trends. Should be interesting to see these coins sit on ebay month after month. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Large-Cents...&_nkw=landonEdited by Staff - Added link |

you should provide a link... or is that against forum rules? I'm VERY new here so I have no idea, but am curious as to what you're talking about.

I imagine a keyword search of Landon on ebay should pretty much capture most of them... if not, try searching on ebay.ca "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

I'm just glad I sold my large cent collection in 2002 and don't have to worry about the flood!

Based on the auction prices, I am not so sure the large cent guys are out of touch. There was lots of interest and lots of bids.That means a lot of underbidders ended up with few of the gems. I am sure that there are buyers out there for these large cents. Since one major buyer bought over 80 per cent of the best coins , the market is not going down any time soon.
We were not too fortunate on the large cent gems at the auction but we bought abunch of the silver and the token lots and have already sold some at strong prices. The concept of FRESH material coming out is certainly at play here. The coins at the Landon Sale even the circulated material had never been to market and were all well cared for ,never played with, and had that original look to them.

I personally don't see an issue here... some sellers managed to pick up a few lots and now they're trying to sell for profit... will they realize that profit... that will be seen....

Not really rare , but just pleasing and totally original as all of the Landon stuff is. We are very pleased with the tokens from the sale. Just true collectors grade material that is very difficult to acquire in today's coin market. We were lucky enough to purchase many of the silver Newfy and Canadian lots from the sale and they grade from pleasing Vg to Exf. This type of Victorian coinage is very difficult and will easily bring close to current trends or MORE.

im not sure why the Landon thread has been subdivided into this extra discussion..it should be just one thread.....as far as ebay goes ....its natural that ebay could be a main point of sale for the bulk of the Landon Collection .....most of us didnt participate in the original auction..The fact that this collection in particular has been noted on the holders as LANDON by ICCS will add value to the trends price in itself as it has value and interest and has been termed a key pedigree collection so it shouldnt surprise anyone that prices will exceed trends prices..Trends prices in themselves are not the final word in value..ICCS doesn't recognize key variations especially double dates so many of these Landon coins will exceed normal prices as they contain variations. |

You are quite correct there are numerous neat varieties that were not noted. We got a lot of the 1903 cents and there is one with just a huge die crack and a monster die clash. One lot of ungraded silver had three different 1886 ten cents and both obverses of the 1885 ten cents.

Pac... I think we were looking at some of the similar lots... in which case I'm sorry I may have upped the bid via internet...
I'm at least glad the coins went to a nice place... I certainly can't wait to see the one lot of coins I did end up getting.. I hope there might be some goodies to discover
