Where are they selling these coins at from Stacks? I have been searching for a bulk sale of these items, they had millions of coins and I am seeing a few labels show up here and there but where are they coming from? I cant find anything on Stacks or Heritage about them and I would assume there is a store set-up somewhere since there were so many coins and most were obtainable by the average collector.
I bought a couple at auction via the Stack's Bowers website. http://www.stacksbowers.com/ Unfortunately, they sprinkle them into the auctions. They didn't and don't have one single auction for all the coins, nor a store in which to view them all. I've been wanting to look at the Morgan toners that were promoting, but I don't want to spend hours on end viewing the listings. I've done some browsing and their navigation is rather poor so it's a little time consuming.
That's what I thought they were doing, and that's also my experience with their site. Their best bet would be to have an eBay presence to push these through where they can list many easily and set it up like a store and just lower the prices until they sell. That's their best opportunity to realize the best prices without having to sprinkle them in slowly with their own material, which they could still do at the same time. They could even have a newsletter highlighting which types or themes were coming up next on eBay. In fact they could build a whole eBay presence just moving these coins and only these coins and could stay busy for many years by it. Idk, just some thoughts.
The bad thing about Stack's right now is there sight is hard to navigate. The good thing about Stack's is their site is hard to navigate and I've read many a post where it was stated due to this fact, they were not going to browse their auctions which means there are some bargains to be had... Sorry for the run on sentence.
I thought that too, but honestly this hoard has over a million coins. They are gonna have to move then faster than this and dumping too many at auctions will just drive the prices down. This will be interesting to see what prices will be like for these common coins. I know I want a few.
I picked this up for a nice price <$500 w/BP. It's a 57th pedigree. As you know, taking photos of DPL's are tough. In hand the marks aren't as distracting. They aren't coin chatter marks, but slight coin rubs or something else. Maybe planchet blemishes where it wasn't struck with enough pressure. There are some contact marks in the fields. Anyway, I love DPL's because you just know the Morgan either came from fresh dies or freshly polished dies. '88 O 64 DPL
