Just picked this up at a pretty good price...I know the photos aren't up to MY standards, but they're the best I can do at my "field" location... It weighs correctly and is non-magnetic. There is a bit of dirt on the obverse that I won't touch for now...
Cool. I've been searching for one 50 or lower. Pretty hard as I'm sure you know. How much for that one?
B.I.N. at $125 with best offer, shouldn't have any problems getting at least $100 without having to relist.
Ha ha...so Numismat, you were right. Listed the coin on eBay for $125 BIN/BO...and it sold for $100. ...wait for it... ...and I can't find it. Been moving into a new apartment, thought I had that coin in my "eBay items" box...nope. Had to cancel the transaction with a sincere apology. Let's hope I find it, along with a few other coins from that day (the same day I lost my SD card...) Maybe they'll all be in one magical hiding place... (rolling my eyes at a level of disorganization I am uncomfortable with. Let this move be completed!)
Just got home...and FOUND IT!!! For some reason put it in a separate box "to be worked." Also found all the rest of the coins I bought that day (no SD card, lol.) Phew! That's a load off my mind.
Someone is selling two ngc ms61 trade dollars for 2 hundred (ie for each one). What a rip if you ask me. I checked the year and an unc is 70 or 80.
I feel like this is an example of where the price guide is wrong. Mine just sold for $100...last one I had sold for $75, and it was fed circulated.
The thing with ebay is patience pay off. Some coins, like this series, you can get a lot more money with BIN listings if you don't mind the wait. This is also why researching prices in completed items can be confusing.
S so you're saying 200 is probably correct for an ms61? I don't think the guide is that much off (by 130 or something). I know Krause is off in a lot of cases but on this one I don't know. I only buy within the US so that my be the first problem
