Civil War Seated 25c score!

It's hard to tell the surface detail from the scans, but it has plenty of detail. I paid $19 for this coin, I photo graded it to VF20, which lists for $55. Even if it's cleaned, it's still not a bad buy.




My 1st key focus is the capped bust series, 2nd is seated. I wasn't looking to spend much on a seated coin until I complete more of my capped bust set. This filled the void perfectly.

well done sir :thumb:

 

Recanted

 

that is funny. Detecto you keep setting yourself up.

 

Hmmm :/

 

And now it's gone

 

Sometimes it takes a bit for eBay to update.

 

I dont think so. once you buy it now, it is gone. why would it stay up for 10 minutes and allow someone else to buy it

 

Good deal!

Seated quarters always perk up my interest. A few years back I managed to get an 1860-S for like 3 bucks which on its best day still wasn't even an AG03. But with a low mintage of only 56,000, and a survival estimation around 700 in any grade, it is one of the most rare seated quarters out there.

Well I decided to sell it, and I did get $230 for it. Not bad for $3! If only it was in better condition...even a G4 might fetch close to a grand.

I kinda regret selling it given its history, but it was just soooo worn and slick and without details.

If I keep telling myself that last statement..it makes me feel better

 

Just out of curiosity why did you say you paid $19 for it when $18 or $21 would of made more sense, it was $18+3 shipping.....?

 

LOL don't fret everyone!!! The same coin is up again!

LMAO Why would you lie about purchasing this coin?

 

looks like its a scammer? this time hes selling it for 18+2, its getting cheaper lol!

 

looks like its some sort of scam, and the seller is changing the prices and selling the same coin multiple times, i think......lol

 

............Or the seller is Detecto????????

 

Yeah I noticed. Other listing had 1 bid indicating it was sold. Now it's resisted.

 

i only see one for sale.
