Bottom line is, if the price is higher than you want to pay, walk away. Not a big deal. I've probably done it hundreds of times.
Only if by severely damaged, you mean more than half of it is gone :) The days of ten dollar silver dollars are gone. My suggestion to the op is...
Oh, I see now. Yeah, the one at 1 o'clock on the reverse is pretty bad.
^Agreed. When he said that coin was only graded VG8, and then I looked at the pic, I was pretty suprised.
Alot of people seem to be saying that. But the coin is listed for anywhere from 18-24 in different price guides I've seen. I know you can't go by...
That pawn broker probably goes to a reputable coin dealer down the street at the end of every day, with all of the precious metals he's purchased,...
No reserve, 2006 MS69 Silver Eagle http://www.ebay.com/itm/330716958475?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649
I'm not really into Barbers, so my experience with them is very limited. Any one care to give me their opinion of grade and/or value on this one?
In light of this, let's say it's an MS62 with a scratch. How would you determine it's value?
In hand, I think it would be a 63 without the scratch. WITH the scrath, its almost irrelevant, lol.
I'm tellin' you guys, my heart just sank. Morgans are an area where I think I grade well. And as I read this thread, I thought that the "62"...
Thats the tricky part about this coin. It looks like a solid 63 in hand to me. My pics seem to over do the contact marks. But I'm not exactly sure...
I've been working alot on trying to get good coin photos this evening. These are about the best I got. Raw 1885-O Morgan. What are your opinions?
It does seem like the number of complaints far outweigh anything positive in letters written to any coin publication. I've often thought to...
I don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure I did that when I was a kid too. I also regret selling alot of 90% silver halves before silver was...
I've loved Walking Liberty Halves for 6 or 7 years now. The 1921-D, which is the most expensive (In low grades anyway) is the only key I don't...
I hope they keep trying to hunt these guys down.
I know one thing. You're right about the economy. If anything, times have gotten harder for people around here in the past 2 years.
From your other posts in this thread, it sounds like you're saying "Why buy a 65 if you see a 64 or a 63 that you like better?" And the answer is,...
Wow. I think I was second or third for the first round or two. Oh well, could have done worse :) Can't wait for next year.
