i was just wondering is any 1 buys those proof singles on websites? like proof state quarters and such or the newed pennies or whatever? is it worth it?
Spider your question is a bit more complicated than it seems. You have to remember that not all '64 Proof cents are equal. Just like with any coin - it depends on the condition - the grade of the individual coin. For example - a 1964 cent graded PF66 Red by PCGS might sell for $1.00. But the very same coin graded PF69 Red by PCGS will sell for $25.00. And yet again - the very same coin, graded PF70 DCAM by PCGS might sell for $50,000.00 or even more. But at the same time you can go out and buy an entire 1964 Proof set for anywhere from $10 to $15 - as many as you want. So you see you can't just say that '64 Proof quarter will cost you this much or that much. It depends on each individual coin. What I would suggest you do is to get familiar with using this link - Completed Listing You bookmark that site and save it to your favorites. Then every time you want to know how much a given coin will cost - just go look and see. You'll find them in all different grades and slabbed by all the different grading companies. You'll also find plenty of raw coins. And you'll find out that they sell for anywhere from 10 cents to $10,000.
You don't need an account to go to Ebay and check out current coin offerings or bids. You do need an account to buy or sell!
crystalk is correct Spider - you DO NOT need an account just to look up prices. There is no need to buy anything on ebay if you don't like it. It's just a tool that you can use to see how much coins sell for.
Spider- I would go ahead and make a acount on ebay...it doesn't cost anything. Also I think it would be just as cheap to buy a 1964 proof set and get them that way. The 2003 I'm not so sure about. I would ask your dealer. Speedy
Why not create an eBay account, Spider? I've had one for years and have made many, many good deals on there.
You dont have a red book!!!!!!!!!! You need to get one like right now. I dont care how or where you get one just do it.
Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to just go to the Library and use theres? That way you still have your money to purchase what ever strikes your fancy. Come on guys, how many kids 14 years of age do you know of that has an acccount at eBay?
I think OldDan is going soft. Why back in his day, he and his friends had to walk uphill both ways in the snow (summer and winter) to get to the General Store and use their Internet hookup to access eBay. Of course, it only cost a nickel back then (seems like everything cost a nickel back then). I guess we forget what to was like to be 14. As I recall, I am lucky to have any coin collection left after my teen years, when I strategically sold off this and that to pay for who knows what.
I think quite a few have an account, OldDan. eBay's policy states, "Our services are available only to, and may only be used by individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, our services are not available to children (persons under the age of 18) or to temporarily or indefinitely suspended eBay members. If you are a under the age of 18, you can use this service only in conjunction with, and under the supervision of your parents or guardians." I believe there are MANY savvy 14-year-olds out there who use eBay for legitimate buying and selling under the supervision of their parents or guardians. eBay offers a wealth of items that local coin dealers are not physically (or financially) able to stock. Fortunately, eBay has created their site so that even our younger citizens can enjoy the thrill of buying something at a low price, selling something at a profit or obtaining an item they wouldn't have otherwise been able to find. Should Spider decide to open an eBay account (and he certainly seems savvy enough), I encourage him to do so under his parents/guardians consent and supervision.
