Pauldog Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 10:19 pm I just ordered a few of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/253463363910 Peace dollars, BU condition, $26 each. I'm figuring they should be worth at least $30 each. Report this Post to the Staff

yellow88 Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 10:37 pm This was not a stupid purchase. The Seller has good shipping terms as well- $4 flat shipping no matter how many you buy. Post some pics when you receive them. Enjoy! Report this Post to the Staff
rayder Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 11:06 pm Buying one at a time probably not for BU. If they really are BU. There are cheaper ways if you don't care about year and will just except random coins in lots of more than one. Report this Post to the Staff
Pauldog Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 02/19/2019 05:12 am Jimbucks, thank you. A chance to get more bargains, maybe. Is that vendor considered pretty good in general? Their feedback on ebay looks all right. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/19/2019 08:45 am Just remember, BU could be as low as MS-61. Report this Post to the Staff
nss-52 Moderator United States 54282 Posts	Posted 02/19/2019 08:49 am bad- It's a stock photo, so you are buying sight unseen. good- Seller has received no bad feedback for Peace dollar listings in the last 12 months. How did you determine that coins you have never seen are "worth" $30 each? Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/19/2019 08:56 am Quote: How did you determine that coins you have never seen are "worth" $30 each? Simple. He added the selling price and the postage. $26 + $4 = $30. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/19/2019 08:57 am Good question. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 02/19/2019 11:20 am You could have done better with your purchase. The coins you will probably receive will be the most common dates in low grade BU and the seller controls the date. The common date Peace dollars on ebay sell for $29/$30 in NGC or PCGS MS63 that you have a chance to view the coin. I also saw a lot of 4 1922 S NGC MS63 on ebay for under $24 each with free shipping. Report this Post to the Staff

Pauldog Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 04:08 am I estimated the value from price lists online and in books. For instance, the 2017 U.S. Coin Digest has a 1924 P Peace dollar priced at $35 for AU50, and an online list that I'm being blocked from mentioning prices it higher than that. It looks like I should have done more window shopping on ebay first. But I think I'm OK unless the price of silver drops more than a little, which I don't think is too likely.

machine20 Pillar of the Community United States 1277 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 8:18 pm they're worth like 20 bucks Report this Post to the Staff
Pauldog Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 02/21/2019 01:44 am Weird to me that so many 1-oz silver rounds go for more than that on ebay, ones that don't seem artistic or even attractive. But collectors want what they want. I know what discontinued Gillette razors sell for, even ones made as recently as the 2000's. What's the value of similar grade generic year Morgans?

Pauldog Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 03:28 am I also ordered several silver dollar "culls" from Provident at roughly $18 per coin, to enjoy more treasure hunting: https://www.providentmetals.com/cul...n-peace.html Report this Post to the Staff
