I wished the pictures were of better quality for many of those coins as I was tempted to bid but did not. A lot of them looked very high grade MS but did not have the resolution to confirm. The prices were too high for me to bid on poor pictures. I believe many people took a huge chance on some of these coins unless they had information I did not.
It's exciting to see healthy prices on those coins but as was mentioned in another thread, there was evidence of shill bidding which turned me off further. If anyone bid and won from here, I would love to see some pictures. There appeared to be some very choice examples.

I don't know... Aside from a few of the coins, so many seemed to have wipe hairlines. I bid on a few but when you're getting near 60% of MS65 for common years its risky. Even the 1911 50 cent piece I though sold high. I agree on the pictures though...Tough to say....

The good thing for buyers on ebay, easy to return. |

I looked at a few but most of the coins were wired and had plenty of hairlines. Try submitting all those coins to PCGS. Probably at least 75% would come back 'details'. But throw in a good story about some old time 'hoard' and these crazy ebay buyers come out of the woodwork to spend their money like there was no tomorrow. |

some 5 cent pieces went for MS63-64 book prices when the coins had blurry pictures and didn't mention UNC in the title or description. Huge gambling going on. Most of them seemed to have great luster and nice toning but the pictures were nowhere near the quality needed to see wear. I've got AU coins with that much luster and nice toning. If any of those coins are AU, some people lost their shirts.

i am sure almost all of these coins went into collectors hands. there was no room for dealers or flippers to take a chance of any meat being left on the bone ..so to speak.

I suspect there were some bought as gambles on good grades... generally, that gamble rarely pays off.
The 1859 1-cent, was obviously snapped up for what looked like a DP9#2
I can only hope that when my wife/kids sell my collection someday, that they will get equally as generous bidding!!

SPP...Even then. Maybe an AU coin, with not an overly attractive reverse. 315.00 plus 16 shipping and he was part of GSP so another 40 for a Canadian buyer. I thought he got outstanding prices for most of the coins.

What goes on with this seller?
Many items are sold and the exact same item is up for sale again.
Look at the 1859-O half.
Sold on Dec 3rd and the same coin is closing within 20 hours.
Weird or what?

Maybe this enticed them to bid higher:

Maybe the buyer never paid or the winner was from a country the seller would not ship to... happens to me, when I have to cancel sales and relist.

Once in a while, yes, but it's happening way too often with this seller.
