I noticed this too when I started buying stamps. You can buy them for 5 or 10 cents apiece on many auction sites and pay a few bucks to ship...
What's funny is I spent probably $300 at that one dealer buying $2, $3 and $5 coins and they probably have a much bigger profit margin on those....
I just don't understand the prices. I mean, by now I think most collectors are aware of eBay. Many don't like to shop on it but I would think it...
I just got back from the Chicago International Coin Fair. I live about 20 minutes away so I've gone for the last four years. I have to say for me...
I need the 1932, which sells for more than $100, the 35, 39, 45, both types of 51, 56, 61 and 63. This is what is strange because the early dates...
Besides a few special commemoratives they all look like this.[ATTACH]
Yes, I said most dates. The rare ones I don't expect to find cheaply, but say the 1961 or 1963 which I've been outbid on about 10 times each I...
All the coins in question have a mintage of around 10 million and Krause lists as common values. And no, not looking for high grades. Pretty much...
With the price of silver down, I've been working to assemble a set of Australian florins. I've made good progress, but what is frustrating me is...
A few years ago I picked up an 1883 100 reis from Brazil, with a mintage of 2,700, for like $7. A little later I saw another one for sale and bid...
No, it was too rich for my blood. I wish I'd bid higher on the other one, but who knows how high that would have gone. I'll keep an eye out and...
Since we're showing our 1983 New Zealand dollars ...[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
If you look at sellers in New Zealand or Australia you can find the individual coins for sale pretty much all the time, but they always get too...
I've never cared much about the grade as long as it isn't beat to heck. The one I bid on today wasn't great and it sold for $81. The bottom book...
Interesting. I'm a big New Zealand collector too and I'm always appalled at the prices some of the modern set-only coins sell for. That's why I...
I'm also in no way an expert, but it has that frosted look that you usually see on proofs.
That's a good price for that. You could pay more than that for the dollar. I have all the dollars in the series and it took quite a while to track...
That's what I was thinking. I'd keep the half cent, which I don't have one of, and sell the other three, which I have, and probably break even and...
They ended up selling for $7.75 plus $3 shipping. I thought the half cent would be worth more than that even in this condition. I bid but didn't...
I also thought it would be strange to make fakes that don't look good, but people always say not to put anything past them.
