People there are all delusional. Here are some post: For trade are six silver dollar coins. One of the coins is a 1923 silver "Peace Dollar." Three of the coins are 1921 silver "Morgan Dollars." One of the coins is a 2002 American Eagle Walking Liberty Silver Dollar which is untouched and in a plastic case. That coin is worth double than it's weight in silver. And the last coin is a 2000 Colorized American Eagle silver dollar, which is going online for between $150-$200. Altogether, I estimate the value of the entire six coin collection at around $500. I am mainly looking to trade for an iPhone 4S in MINT CONDITION for AT&T, but I would consider other phones. Cash can be included if your item is worth more, or if my items are worth more cash can be included from your end. I can be emailed, or reached by cell phone at (414) xxx-xxxx. My name is Jimmy. I can take more pictures upon request. Canadian 5 cent coins (3 coins) - $10 (Hartford, WI) 1968, 1973, and 1980, are the dates on the coins. I have a blank us half dollar unstruck coin. I believe they are pretty rare however not too familiar with coins so I'm not 100% sure on the rarity. I do see people asking anywhere from $50 to $500 for them however. I think $20 is pretty fair. I provided a pic and both sides are blank. Please call I have an almost perfect 1919 D wheat penny (free of any wear and tear, scratches, cleaning marks, or discoloration). The front features Lincoln BUT the reverse features the wheat back rotated around 15 to 25 degrees off center. I did my research and these coins were not common but known to happen when the coin rotated when it was struck. Similar coins in far worse condition are selling on sites like Ebay or coin collector sites starting at $125. Im asking for $100 firm for the coin. Serious collector inquiries only please. I will show this coin to anyone and can meet just about anywhere but only if your interested in buying.
I have seen worse than that on this forum! Your always going to have people who overvalue their coins either out of ignorance, hope, or because they are trying to take advantage of someone. This is the case no matter what venue you shop from. It is better to be an informed buyer.
These kind of people break down into 2 categories. 1. They have no idea what the item is worth. They will not take the time to look the item up. So they ask an stupid amount for it. (Somewhat common) 2. They know fully well what the item is worth, but want to try and catch a sucker. (Most common).
Yeah, I have looked before and some are silly like yours, and other are just scary. The lastest unbelievable one I saw was a guy with "nearly complete cent collection from 1941 to 1978, missing only a few coins. Great investment potential for only $500 OBO." I didn't call on that one. Oh, and it was from "his grandfather's estate" of course. Scary ones include people advertising probably obvious chinese copies but wanting to meet near their side, (bad side), of town. Yeah, please let me drive over there when you know I have $1000 in my pocket and say hi!
Ha ha ha, so funny. You win some. lose some. Usually it's a greatly inflated value/price for sub-par condition. But sometimes you make out well. The economy helps a bit I think. Just last week bought a bag of nickles, most of which (about 50-60) were war nickels. $10 for the bag and a bunch of AU wheats and early Mem's.
I like searching craigslist and find add from people who obviously know nothing about coins. After I contact them and inform them, I flag the ad for removal.
I've gotten some decent scores off craigslist. When junk silver was going about 30x face, I bought a lot off somebody for 20x face.
I've gotten some decent junk silver from craigslist and ebay both. What irks me about Craigslist is there is always some guy (or at least it seems like it to me) who wants to sell a "bag of collectible coins" for a set amount. He'll say there is, for example, 100 coins in the bag and list some of the various coins that are included. Then he'll say you have to take the whole bag. So then you're left scratching your head as to what the other 90 coins in the bag are. Well I refuse to drive across town to look at a bag of coins without knowing what is in there. Not only that, I might need to look some of them up to find their value and that will be more difficult to do on the spot.
