<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panda, post: 857818, member: 24443&quot;]at another coin shop i visited they had an ms65 1899 s, for $800. mine was not graded. it was in good shape. someone reputable on her said it was in au shape. but the coin shop i didn&#039;t sell to, told me ms62. its very hard to go by what people have &quot;for sale&quot; online, they are justing waiting for that sucker to bite!</p><p><br /></p><p>i needed the money for school, i have another one, thats in better condition. plus i have an 1899 $20 double eagle. i just got rid of this because i needed money and had 2.</p><p><br /></p><p>as far as the price goes, i am not to upset. </p><p><br /></p><p>1. the coin was free, along with its brother and bigger brother</p><p>2. it was unfortunately a Saturday and my coin place i like to deal with was closed. so limited places to visit.</p><p>3. unless all the coin shops not to mention pawn shops and gold refinery places, were all in contact with each other, to low ball me. prices were consistent</p><p>4. for the situation the price was about right. you can&#039;t look at what coins sell for retail. the people buying the coin have to make some money off it as well. if they would give retail, they would be out of business. the coin can sit in the shop for a long long time before they see a return on there investment. who knows gold could drop as well!!! if i opened my own shop then yea, i could probably squeeze $700 out of her.</p><p><br /></p><p>what i was told from a great member on here was the coin was worth $600-$650 BUT you got to take out %10-%20 for the dealer. so if it was in $600 shape, there offer would have been $500.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;so $475 plus a set of 1847 rogers brother sterling silverware! the owners thought it was just stainless so they had the set for $50, i knew it was sterling. i took it to a refinery and they offered me $250. i am waiting till monday to take it to my coin lady. she sells sterling silverware. i bet she offers me around $5-600! the refinery i went to always low balls, plus they don&#039;t care its an antic.&nbsp; they through in some old Italian money(probably not worth much, guy said he didn&#039;t get a chance to look at it. he asked his kid if it was valuable and you could tell the kid didn&#039;t look, so who knows. didn&#039;t look them up yet).</p><p><br /></p><p>in the end i think i may make out good $475+$250at least= $725. probably be adding another $350ish to that as well. getting that silver helped a ton!</p><p><br /></p><p>thanks for the help everyone![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
