In the first case, I'd celebrate. The buyer made an informed purchase and paid what he thought it was worth. In the second place, I'd kick myself...
This was a great auction win for me. Sometimes I see things listed for way less than they're worth and I bid a small amount just for the heck of...
Maybe most of the coin was protected in a 2x2, but part was hanging out while it was being circulated.
I saw this auction on eBay, with the coin described in the title as "mostly uncirculated." Reminds me of the Princess Bride character being...
You mean on shipping? It says that the person receiving the mail has to sign for it, so they can't say they didn't receive it if they did. It's...
What part? There are shops in the Chicago area. If you're downstate or in the western part I don't know.
I understand your perspective. Sometimes I like to buy lots because if it doesn't go for too much I can keep the coins I want and resell the ones...
Inflated shipping charges is one of the worst. And people keep bidding on their coins so they get away with it. I will not pay more than $4 for...
And one more thing on the subject of things that eBay sellers do that makes it hard to buy from them: There is one seller in Australia who has a...
The 1932 Brazil 1000 reis is one of the lowest mintages in the series at 56,000. Krause's prices are low in my opinion since when these come up...
It's a South Africa 1 penny. It's not silver and that's not its normal color. It's plated in something. With the hole it's not worth anything.
You could get a shave and a haircut in exchange for it!
It's silver, but it has a hole in it, so you won't be getting $199 for it. I'm guessing a few bucks. Still good, but no early retirement.
So for those of us who aren't into ancients, what is so terrible about that?
That's the seller that someone on here posted about doing a transaction with him offline and then he sent a different coin than the one advertised...
I don't have any like yours but this is the sort of thing I like. Coins from colonies are really interesting to me.
This is a good point. I have folders for Canadian coins, and there are several varieties based on the queen's "shoulder fold" for a few years in...
I can tell you the 1939 isn't. I have had one listed on eBay for about two months for a dollar and no one has bought it.
I was wondering that too actually. I was going to customize it but couldn't figure out how to change it. I'll have to look at that link that Chris...
My understanding is that a lot of Chinese coins are faked, so that turns me off from them, along with the language barrier. Otherwise it is neat...
