Not everyday you see an affordable key date for the budget collector

Considering how times are tough and numismatics is out of reach for more than before its always encouraging to see a piece on the market that is affordable for most collectors, while corroded there is a lot of meat and detail.

You confuse me. Are you an ebay bot? It seems almost all your posts are links to ebay sales.

 

A lot of us do not do links so we can't assist you. I'm one of them.

 

Hard to say how affordable it is until you see what it sells for!

 

Other than a lowball collector, anyone would be better off saving their money for something decent.

 

For those who don't like links...

 

Thanks and I'd pass on a coin that looks like that.

 

There is so little left of this piece, it makes one wonder if it is genuine. If you don’t get this thing into a “genuine” holder, a lot of the resale market won’t touch it.

if you are young, follow the rule I have had since I started out as a collector. If you can’t afford a decent example of a coin, forget about owning one. You will be much happier in the long run.

If you are old, follow the same rule. With all of the Chinese products on the market today, you have to be very careful with damaged coins, even if they are in an NGC or PCGS slab.

 

I don't do details coins with the exception of near melt gold but admit I am a bit temped going with too bad a riks

 

Sounds like a good candidate for the ignore button

 

Be interested to see what it goes for. S-10, and it's one that I can use.

 

41 bids over $350 with a day left.

 

Ended at $868.

 

That one's a hard "no" for me.

 

This. I set a min grade of VF35 (VF30/CAC for scarce varieties) but won’t go below. There’s not a single “problem coin” in my collection and I don’t intend to buy one anytime soon.

 

This doesn’t make sense. Just make sure the link actually takes you to the correct domain - in this case eBay.com.

You can also ask Google to check the content of the linked web site:

example: I entered the link to this thread - see screenshot below - and the tool tells you if there’s content which is potentially unsafe.
