Looks Like a Good Buy

Who says you can't find bargains on eBay?

Thank God it was cleaned!! Probably raised the price up!!

 

Not to me it don't. That coin has no appeal

 

Another tragic case of some doorknob, somewhere, who has ruined a valuable coin.

 

Does anyone here actually buy problem coins? I might have been forgiving if it wasn't so polished! They didn't just do a simple clean. It looks almost sandblasted. I wonder what they used, Brasso?

 

Reminds me of a stack of Peace Dollars I once saw at Antiques USA in Maine. They were all polished up like a new car, what a shame.

 

Even the circulated CC dollars seem ridiculously expensive.

But I'm new to recent pricing, so maybe I'm missing something.

 

Ehh, I wouldn't say it's a great deal. That price is in the neighborhood of what a non-polished AU coin would cost (based on auction records).

Interesting. The problem versions went as high as $2,200 and as low as $141.

 

Recent sale on ebay, 93CC xf40 w/CAC in PCGS slab sold for 1225.00 (but xf40 of course)

 

That coin is obliterated and the seller is asking premium price if it actually graded. I was being sarcastic with the post

 

I might give $141 for it and try to resell it.

On second thought, I wouldn't. That would depend upon some misguided soul buying it from me.

 

good one

 

No worries. The sarcasm -- appropriate I think -- seemed obvious, even to a newbie like me.

 

I offered to sell him as many of those as he wanted for $1500, and mentioned I'd be making major money by doing so. Doubt he'll see the humor, though.

 

The internet is where sarcasm went to die.
