My 8 coin PCGS economy order: A breakdown & GTG

1. These were received on 6/26 and shipped today 8/1.

2. All 8 received straight grades.

3. Two coins were won at eBay auction (1804 1/2c & 1833 Bust Half). Four were BIN on eBay (1861 3cs, 1876 3cn, 1808 50c, and 1989 ASE), and 2 were BIN from peers (1845-O 50c & 1883-O VAM1c).

4. The total cost of all 8 coins including shipping was $578.

5. Grading fees were $160. Processing and shipping was covered by a friend who
pitched in a boatload of coins on top of the order.

6. The total cost to me on the 8 coins is $738.

65- changed from 68, too many bag marks on the right field in my opinion for anything higher. Beautiful coin through

MORGAN AU58

Or, if the grader was having a good/bad day > +/- 3 points or 2

 

Not even gonna try, I would make a fool out of myself, lol. Sorry. Gold is my bread and butter.

 

1. VF 30 ..a few hits in focal areas, but overall a nice specimen with sharp details
2. VF 35...a little too much wear for an XF
3. VF 35
4. XF 40
5. AU 50 ..I like this more than the 1808 Half Dollar
6. VF 35
7. AU 58 ...look potentially circulated with nice color
8. MS 67 ...this seems to be the grade I see most often on toned Silver Eagles that do not have any noticeable issues

Why would you think that? Did you not see the breakdown of how little I paid, and the fact that I only had to pay the actual grading fee of $20 each?

I should be able to double my investment selling the lot. The AU58 Morgan is a VAM 1c, WOW list.

 

Don't remind me! Hahaha. Glad it came back for you at AU58. I've learned my lesson and have a slider I'm sending off now before putting it on the market.

 

Since you fared well are you going to give a prize to the person with the closest grades?

 

I give my utmost respect. Honestly a few folks got like 3 right, but typecoin got the closest. But since he thinks they're not worth grading he doesn't want any of them.

 

The coins I see you pull the trigger on are detailed....then you go and try and peddle them on e bay to" Bid Idiots" I believe was the term you used.
Well at least the coins he purchased aren't detailed...and at least his reputation and name isn't associated with someone trying to make a fast buck at the expense of another.
Believe me the last thing you want in this hobby or business is your name tagged with a negative undertone!

 

Hey now... typecoin is a good guy. I've dealt with him before and always had a good experience.
