you could call this the coin of many colors. looks like it has xf details to me. If it were a nice brown color with this much detail it would be $75 or more, 13.50 seemed ok even with its problems. Think I can sell it for more. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1842-Braide...047675.l2557 |

It sold for $16.00 with postage. Then you need to list it, photograph it, possibly answer questions, wrap it, take it to the PO, hope the buyer likes it, and hopefully leave feedback for it. Plus pay ebay and PayPal fees. Even if it sold for $25, I wouldn't consider that small profit that was left as being worth my time. Maybe you would, and if so, I hope you do well with the resale. But you should keep in mind that when you win a lot it means you were interested in paying more than anyone else that saw the coin. |

I sell them locally Moxking so no fees involved. I am pretty sure I can get 20 to 25 dollars for it. Not a killing but if its 6 to 9 dollars that is a pretty good return on $16 investment. Also adds to the ebucks and credit card rewards totals. Most of the coins I post I do not keep for my collection so the money I make on lots of so-so coins I try to buy for bargains goes to pay for some that I do keep.

I like this coin. Not the best at grading but looks VF to me. $16 seems like a good deal. And it suits your purposes. Congrats!
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Agree. Most unattractive surfaces. Easy to buy, tough to sell.

VF-Details, purchased right but I'm not convinced after costs margins would be large enough to flip comfortably.

tough critics around here for a cheap coin with lots of detail left. We shall see what happens when I sell it.
