okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 2:06 pm wrekkdd ... It has been explained more than a few times on here about the "sold" listings on ebay. Go to your ebay page and type in what to search for. When the search is complete, you will have a laundry list of all available on ebay at the moment and you will still see a large blue "search" rectangle. Just to the right of the big blue box is a small "advanced" link. Hit that and you have plenty of options, one of which is a small check-box for "sold listings". Make sure that you still have the item you want searched still in the search box. Click on that and you will have a list of all those that have sold in the last 3 months or so and the sold price in green. If the seller accepted a lower offer, you will see the "sold price" crossed out and "accepted an offer" written. You can not find out what the selling price actually was. If you go further down this "advanced" page, you will see that you can just have listed those with free shipping, or those just from Canada, or any other wish that you want to get into your search. It's very easy and, by far, the best way to find out what something will actually sell for. Sometimes you will see that the price is low but the shipping is high. Make sure you notice.

coinman91 Pillar of the Community Canada 668 Posts	Posted 08/18/2021 09:58 am Blunt 5 imo. Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 08/18/2021 10:41 am I don't collect newer cents but found the phtos of this coin interesting. It looks to me that it easier to tell from the "tail" of the 5. For a pointed 5, is nearly flat/level. For the blunt, the tail is down at an angle from horizontal. Maybe my eyes are bad, but that's what it looks like to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/18/2021 10:48 am @okiecoiner, good eye, I didn't even notice the tail. Now I'm back to thinking mine is a pointed 5 lol. This is a tough one for me, and even the pros it seems lol. So mayb this is P5 LD Report this Post to the Staff
