I know what it feels like. I had to take a 4-year hiatus from coin collecting during my college years, as food unfortunately takes priority over...
Here's an idea that might work: "Coin appraisal" is a fairly heavily searched term on Google, with a monthly search volume of 1,900. Other...
I agree with you that eBay is one of the best places for collectors to sell their coins, as you would get less selling to a dealer or shop. But...
This is probably a stupid question, but I've wondered about it for a while. Given eBay's 10% fees and the fact that eBay probably has the lowest...
Well if it was selling on eBay I don't think it would get past $500 but I suppose HA is a different beast.
Then it's a VF (very fine)-20. The "MS" (mint state) acronym only applies to grades 60-70. As for price range, about $350-450 judging by eBay...
That makes me feel pretty good about the price I sold it for then! I bought it at almost exactly your estimate, about $10 over book. Sold it on...
Thanks for all the helpful replies. I'll hop over to Goodwill and pick up another adjustable desklamp and give that two-light setup a try. Are...
^ Worth a try! I think you might get some guesses. I'm really glad this thread got bumped as it's what originally brought me to Cointalk....
I recently took a chance on a poorly-photographed toned Morgan on eBay and it turned out pretty well. The problem is, I can't seem to take good...
That's an unusual design (man with breasts and a tutu?) and I'd really have to see an uncirculated example to grade it accurately, but I'd say...
Any advice for taking pictures of lustrous gold coins? Hardly any overhead light and the coin looks overexposed. Here's a couple slightly better...
Thanks for the reply. I've considered sending it in, but I think the rim ding might get me a details grade.
I'm no expert, but that looks like a lot of noise for a MS-65 (and especially a MS-65+). edit--Just did a quick Google search and it appears...
I run a small numismatic website where I sell coins, and I recently purchased this 1854-P dollar to sell there. Usually I price my coins by...
^ I love the color on that 1879. This is an 1887-P, NGC MS-63. [ATTACH]
Yeah common date low-MS coins probably don't differ much in price, but I have noticed a significant price difference (between the second-tier...
There's some unfortunate scuffing on the slab plastic in that area. The coin itself is well-struck with full breast feathers.
Probably my best example of this. An 1889-P, NGC MS-62. eBay listing picture: [IMG] My picture, with proper lighting: [ATTACH]
