1923 Unc Peace Key ?

So did he say something to you about it? Or did you just notice it in the case with "1928" written on the holder?

I went back in and he said I was wrong about that kind it is a 1923 just like you said, I thought it was a 1928. I told him, I said I told you it was 1923 Philadelphia. I know I know I should’ve listened he said it was my mistake. He did have it in the case though, for $40 LOL. He might actually get $40 for it as he really doesn’t deal in coins, he deals in other antiques, mostly record’s old toys knickknacks smalls, things like that.

 

...so he was trying to give you $40 for what he believed to be a roughly $400 coin?

 

That sounds about right for many sellers, although I'd seriously re-consider anything that I wanted to purchase from someone like that and I'd NEVER sell anything to them again.

 

So you’re saying he probably wouldn’t be interested in overpaying for my stash of ‘23s? Story of my life.

 

Sounds like the skunk got skunked.

 

Exactly. You see, when he told me it was a key date coin, I told him no,” it is 1923 Philadelphia.” And he said “yeah that’s a key date coin”, I said, “not the 23 Philadelphia”. Now after this conversation, He went and looked online, came back and told me I was wrong that it is a key date coin and I said the 1923 Philadelphia? I said “OK then if it’s a key date coin how much is it worth?” He said “graded they go between 300 and $400 in this condition”. He said the most I can offer you is 40. Well I darn well knew he was wrong so of course I’m gonna take $40 for a common 1923 Philadelphia Peace dollar. I don’t understand how you can warn somebody and actually tell them what kind it is, they go look it up online and still be wrong.

 

The reason I go to the store in the first place because I take my daughter there to buy vintage Barbie clothes. So seeing coins in his display case from being in there before I asked if he bought and sold coins and he said yes.

 

On that day he would’ve. LOL

 

Even when you tell people you’re a coin collector, they still think they know more than you. Now granted I don’t know everything but I know a common peace dollar when I see one and at least I know the important key dates for that series. And the prices they go for.
