Once again, I'm here to consult experts about an ebay listing. I'm getting hooked on to ebay (unfortunately that's the only source of coins here)...came across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/BARBADOS-1973-F...ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting Would appreciate any comments about the coin and what price is right. Thanks in advance.
Pretty, suprising that it is cupronickel. It has a mintage of 97,00 but a value of $2.00. For collecting I probably wouldn't want to pay more than $4 or $5.
Hey Byrd...it's you again! Thanks for your opinion. Let's see how the auction goes...I kinda like the shape of the coin...its different...and I don't have anything from Barbados!
Rightly said! :thumb: Right now, I'm still new to the game, and not spending much on anything. The goal is to collect as many different coins (different countries) as I can. Also looking at commemoratives...basically, anything that I would like to show off. Thanks to this forum I'm getting advise on what I'm bidding on! :kewl:
so did u win? btw the barbados 1/4 quarter is almost the same size as the us 1/4 and the best chances to notice its not a us coin is when its rejected by the vending machine and when u do that its time to celebrate!
No, I didn't win...someone trashed my hopes just 5 seconds before the auction ended! :rolling: Thanks for the info about the coin...there will always be another auction. In any case, I'm spending way too much time on ebay these days!
They put out some really cool coins. I have a couple of coins from Barbados. They are easy to find and are fairly cheap. Keep looking you'll find others.
