The issue is not really the countering of a best price, but the countering of a best price with an insultingly low offer. If you give your best...
Looks like a borderline ChVF/XF.
Beautiful. Can you see any trace of the counterstamp on the reverse?
Glad you liked the info. This set is generally underappreciated and only collected for type as part of the full bust quarters set, but it is an...
The problem is that not all dealers will actually give out their best price when asked. Some will, sure, but it's unreasonable for a dealer to...
Portugal 4000 Réis (Gold .917) 1683-1706 http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces25659.html
A date set in XF would run around $2700. A date set in AU 50-53 would be double that. A date set in AU 55-58 could go as high as triple.
I can pick them up in that range at any coin show I go to and also from some local dealers (cash transactions). The prices on ebay for lower grade...
For the small capped bust quarters, Greysheet is pretty solid for both type and date. I don't follow the large capped busts as closely, but some...
It's an F15 at best, and you should be able to get a raw VF20 for $100-$120.
Thanks! While I do have high grade examples of all of the coins pictured here, none of these coins are mine. These are just well-struck MS...
Small capped bust quarters were minted each year from 1831 to 1838. While this is a very short series to the date collector, to the minor variety...
But delivered and delivered somewhere look exactly the same to everyone involved except for the buyer. How do you as a buyer prove that you did...
I agree that it is the seller's responsibility to file the claim and to refund your money in this instance. Unfortunately until you actually...
I do the same thing. The only good offers are the 10% eBay bucks and the 10% off. Great opportunity to negate the premium on a coin that catches...
This is a great idea. I added a couple reviews for the local shops I frequent most.
This shop used to be really easy to miss from the street, but has moved a couple stores up to a bigger location. Parking is in a small shared lot...
While this place is called Kennedy's Stamps & Coins, I don't think I've ever seen any stamps there. They have a decent selection of classic...
Here's a CBQ I just acquired. This one is a real beauty in hand and these pictures don't do it justice. This quarter is a late die stage 1833...
Wow. Had to stare at that for a while before my brain stopped trying to see coins.
