Even without the color, I doubt it is even near a $20 coin. As you progress more into bidding and buying, you will learn a little more every day.

Definitely learning more about condition but all pricing guides including my Charlton have this coin around 20$ in VG+condition. If f12+ under 20$ sounded like a good deal. Not sure where to find an accurate price guide. I personally like the obverse for the detail left as all my silver Vikki's are a fair bit more worn down.

Ya I was including ebay listings. I have seen some in similar condition with no black or toning so I just assume some sort of cleaning. I should go off of ebay specific listings though. Since I don't sell any of the coins I buy I can only hope value increases or maintains over the next decade. |

You can't use the ebay "listings". You have to go to the advanced search and only look at what things actually "sold" for. A person can "ask" or list at $100 for a $2 coin. You have to see what things actually SELL for. |

When I said checked ebay listing I meant ebay sold listings. |

Another rule of thumb that I've heard used by reliable people is to take the Trends down to ~60 or 70%%.

Thanks guys. I'll keep all this in mind next time. I believe there is a show in Hamilton coming up so I'll probably save some money for that.

Lesson learned! Thanks Pacificoin, it's rare I see anything that nice on ebay that is not being sold for 20-30% above trends(trends that I know) luckily I didn't have to learn this lesson with a much more expensive coin:) hopefully I'll pick up some more tips and some nice coins at my first CAND show next month! |
