Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 09:37 am I bought a small collection of coins and this was among them. I'm interested in selling a lot of them because I need the money and I bought the collection because I got a great deal and saw a lot of potential. Any input would be appreciated. Not sure if it would be graded VF or EF. I already have it on a 24hr auction but there haven't been any hits. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 10:55 am I agree that its VF 30 or so. As for getting hits, do you have a high starting bid on it? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 10:04 pm Nice coin, but it does have that 'handled' look to it. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 11:40 pm There are over 1,800 1853 cents on ebay right now. Seems like you'll need more than a 24 hour listing. Report this Post to the Staff
NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2280 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 12:24 am 24 hour auction is not long enough. Hopefully your good deal was actually worth it and you can make it worth your time and money.

Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 630 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 12:33 am I think the "24 hr auction" means that the coin sells 24 hours after the last bid, on sites you'll find on popular social media Report this Post to the Staff
Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 12:34 am I had a $60 starting bid on it. I have deleted the post as it was up for 6-7 hours longer than it wad supposed to be and the only bid I received was for $15, 3-4 hours after the end of the auction and it seemed to have been made in jest. It didn't occur to me that it looks cleaned. First time seeing one. Thanks for the input guys. Much appreciate. Edited by Camrdaddy19 05/02/2023 12:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2280 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 3:00 pm This Coin is not worth $60, let alone starting it at that bid. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 5:49 pm That's about a $20 coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 6:01 pm I'm closer to $12-14, less if cleaned as it appears. Edited by Coinfrog 05/02/2023 6:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15386 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 05:18 am There is no way a knowledgable buyer will pay you $60 for this coin. Perhaps you should reevaluate your potential for the 'great deal' lot you purchased. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
