You guys think trying to make a $825 profit from $25 (if that) worth of coins is a bad deal, lol? I think the OP would be much better off going to...
This example was worn smooth with no hint of the year. One drop of nic-a-date revealed that it was a 1917. [IMG]
My mistake... that was for another 1877 he was selling with "MS60" written on the 2x2. However, your coin looks so "washed out" it does appear...
But chrome plating is magnetic. Your coin is definitely plated.
There won't be a mint mark, as the 1925 quarter was only minted in Philadelphia. There shold be a small "M" on the obverse to the right and above...
I really dislike eBay scans with the coin still in the holder. That being said, the seller was honest about the cleaning. I know some members here...
Unfortunately, the condition of the star note is such that it would sell for little (if any amount) above face. So.... as Rick stated, twenty-four...
Well, you could try their "express grading"... however, that appears to be hit or miss also: http://www.cointalk.com/threads/pcgs-express.236002/...
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say that.
There may be any number of reasons that a company goes out of business, but I still think the main one is "they aint makin' any money".
Considering this beat up '76-S sold for $18.50, I'd say the OP got a heck of a bargain at 3X melt... [IMG] [IMG]
Do a search of completed listings (1876-S quarter) on eBay. The photos the OP posted are the seller's pics, so it's easy to find.
Those photos show how much dust gets trapped in a 2x2.
Yep, it's a proof.
I agree... and I think what you paid was a fair price. Also, the seller was honest in describing the "light cleaning and retoning".
Customer wrapped rolls are best, as us "old folk" cash out our coins to help make ends meet. Seniors that are "old school" and dislike technology...
When the cat's away, the mice will play... That post will disappear shortly.
Here's a similar note on eBay, in somewhat better condition. The "miscut" (like yours) is so slight, it isn't even mentioned....
Which translates to $260,000. Twenty-six hundred (or $2,600) is probably what you meant.
I agree... coins that are given to you by relatives are special and should be kept. I regret selling mine in 1969 to finance my first marriage...
