Hello everyone, I am a new and novice collector of coins and I have been buying from
ebay. I posted in a topic in the Third Party Grading forum (uscg Grading service)and another member (Wheatguy) told me I should move this topic to here, but I don't know how to move it over here so I would like to see if everyone would please look at it over there. (if that makes sense) Here is a portion of what I replied to over there because I didn't start the topic another member did.
Hey everybody, I finally figured out how to add photo's and I just added some of the ones that I bought, graded from this company.( The photos are in my previous post above this one)
The first pic is the 1897-0
VAM variety, it is supposed to have a triple die break on the reverse. I would like everyone's opinion on the grade and wether to keep this coin or try to resale it on
ebay and recover some of my money.
The second coin is supposed to be a 1878-CC
VAM type and supposed to have a line in the eye.
Please give me any opinions on the grades and value of these coins and opinions on what I should do with these coins.
I bought these a couple of months ago on
ebay and was bidding accordingly based on the video that the guy had along with these coins.And by looking at some online price guides for the suggested grades that were given to these coins by the uscg grading company.
Any and all advice and opinions are greatly appreciated, Like I said before I am a novice or newbie when it comes to collecting coins and just started about 3 months ago but apparently I sure have a lot to learn because most of the coins I have purchased were based on the same decisions that I made to purchase these coins.
I know very little about grading coins myself (actually nothing)and have been going by the grades the coins were given.
(just call me stupid) but I am going to stop buying any more coins until I gain a lot more knowledge and I hope members of this forum can help me do this.
Thanks everyone,
PS, if you don't know too much about these but know someone who does could you point them in the direction of this post please) Thanks again.
Oh yeah, A Special thanks to SeatedNut for helping me to figure out how to upload photos, THANX.
So Please check it out and help if you can.
Thanks to everyone in advance.
