    In my little neck of the woods you don't find many interesting coins for sale on craigslist.

    All three for sale by same person. Seller's description and asking price:

    1892 S Silver Morgan Dollar Coin ICG EF40 - $300
    1941 D NGC Washington Quarter MS67 $700
    1833 Bust Half Dollar ANACS AU50 $300

    How much do you think your average LCS would give him? A pawn shop?

    I googled to see what some recent prices were, and actually never made it that far. But, did notice that these same coins are for sale on eBay, and based on the volume of items the seller has up, I wouldn't expect much wiggle room. That said, I also would NEVER trust the grade of an ICG coin. Even PCGS and NCG coins are often overgraded. So, until you see these in hand, estimating the value is hard.

    Thanks guys.

    I noticed on Heritage a handful of the quarters sold for more than a g. What's up with that?

    First, a pawn shop, wouldn't be any where near those asking prices at all.

    BTW, look what I found on eBay when I was searching the 1892S Morgan in EF40

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/1892-S-Silv...61?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item565f12bf8d

    Second, I found quite a few ICG 1892S Morgan EF40 that sold from $117.50-$265.

    It's the same exact coin you posted in your OP!

    A number of sellers will do that... post on eBay and Craig's List simultaneously. This particular seller has all three coins listed on eBay with the same BIN price as he has on CL. If the coin sells on one venue, they immediately take the other one down. The risk you take is the same coin selling twice.
