Message:: [QUOTE="mystery45, post: 741076, member: 19591"]Nice way to be defensive against people that you asked an opinion for. If you are going to ask for someone's opinion and then trash it because you don't like what they have to say then why ask? Here is the problem.  You are asking for pricing on a coins that not only you but everyone else has little information on. You bought them raw and ungraded. for all we know you bought 330 in junk.  You can't tell buy a picture if it is real because pictures can be faked. so none of these posts are off topic.  in fact they are quite on topic. So far from what i have seen the prices that you paid on the coins is very low.   the 1898 $5 eagle at xf45 alone taking that it is a liberty is at over 400the same goes for th 1904 according to numismedia.  they don't list the xf45 but have the xf40 at 370 for both. so you are looking at anywhere from 800-1000 dollars in coins that you got for 330 bucks. something seems a bit fishy there.  if they are real then you got a bargain. buying raw coins more so on ebay is dangerous as you have 0 recourse if they are fake.  if you buy them raw locally then at least you can have some recourse such as calling the police. you can see a lot of threads on here where people bought ebay coins for hundreds of dollars and they were fakes.[/QUOTE]
