Then there is that "opinion", that grading is not what it once used to be. This MS66* is only really an MS 61, or so.
So you dont think 20 bucks for a 66* star is a good deal? The coin would probably sell for over 300 now mainly because of the registry score assigned to it. Would 15 bucks be a good deal for a 300.00 coin? Just curious how low I would have to go to sell it.
I see your point, I just don't know if it's relevant to the conversation. edit - copying SPAM only makes the SPAM worse. Please don't do it.
Sorry but NGC gave you a gift when they graded that coin a MS66 let alone putting a star on it. With the scatter on the check, hit at the back of the head behind the ear, wear below the eye … sideburn … ear … and above eye, plus the activity going on at the neckline I would only grade the coin an AU58. This coin is why I look at coins graded by NGC, some are properly graded and worth the money but not this one. I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but you were asking why this coin didn’t sell and sometimes the truth hurts. If I found this coin in the wild, I would have thrown it back into the junk silver pile. Now if it had been one of the DDR’s listed by CONECA, I would have saved it at least until I found an uncirculated example. Just my fifty cents worth on the subject.
I hope this coin is valued at $300 or even $20. I have some a few 69-D's in MS condition that I have only valued at $3.70. If the NGC grading is adding value, I don't see it.
You are right, Not all inventory is sold but I have watched some items for 6 months, And I would buy some of them but the price is always the same. I have offered 26.95 on a coin listed for 29.95 and the offer is Not accecpted, and the coin is still forsale today I would like to buy it but he has not adjusted the price and did not like my offer. 3 bucks is not much but why have a best offer if he will not except it. And it has worked the other way too, Over priced but I wanted the set and he had called it a cameo but it was not on the holder, I did pay double retail and I have the set I wanted. The set was nothing special just a group of 4 ANACS small white holders in serial number order, 4 coins that each had nothing to do with the other ones.
The coin appears to be an MS63 at best and that particular type of toning is just not that desireable. I had a PCGS Graded SP67 1967 coin that sold for only $30 in open bidding last August so I am not surprised at all that your coin did not sell or that you didn't receive any offers. But, keep listing it, eventually the right fish will swim by.
I should have read further into the thread. $20 BIN is a good price for that coin but judging from the first photo, MS66* seems a bit generous on NGC's part. My guess is that folks may have felt the same way?
Some people are just stubborn. I went to a coin shop once, he was a retire police officer with a nice pension, owned the building. His prices were outrageous, had no intention of selling anything. He just wanted a place to go every morning. You got to find dealers who are making a living with coins, and interested in moving inventory.
However if I were to list it now, being graded ms66* I bet it would bring close to 300.00 in an auction
How would you be raining on my parade? The coin didn't sell at 20, now I could sell it for a lot more. The dealer that submitted the coin for me made a great offer, when they came back from grading.
Well that makes one of you. Maybe you need a better picture then. There you go, with the picture in the NGC holder you'll probably get a lot more, now that the Grading Gods, have told the little people what to think about it.
I actually like the coin look. I would be interested to see what price it fetches. I bet it's a bit more than original cost + grading fees. Either way, nice find. http://www.teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?auction=3436&lot=1673
