Thanks for the tip. That is a great idea.

 

Wow. I hope I can get a good buyer. I won't get my hopes up though.

 

I think the 63 means MS63

 

Just my experience, but there is a limited market for these types of coins. I would put it up on ebay with nice pictures, front and back of slab, plus close up of coin front and back. Start the auction at $0.01 and end it on a sunday night around 8pm. Let it sell for whatever it sells, in my experience as a collector, it's very hard to get top dollar selling coins, but ebay straight auctions do a little better than any other forum. Congrats on the find and best of luck with the sale.

 

Thank you for the advice. I will look into it.

 

You can be such a downer. I am sure it would be 10cents worth of opinion if you had found it.

Kudos to you Sheila for the find!

 

@Sheila Ruley

I'm being realistic, and I wouldn't want Sheila to get her hopes up with grand ideas just to be disappointed. There are some things you don't know.

Chris

 

I am one that does know not to get high hopes on much, but to listen and learn. I very much appreciate your honesty. I would rather have hard core truth and honesty than sugar coated.

 

I am sure there are many things I don't know...thank you very much for letting me know!

But I do know your still a downer. Had that find been by a male you would have shot it down completely...

Now your hangin in cause,....

Sheila, any offers yet via pm? Hang in there, They will come & certainly will tell you that it's not worth anything but will give you x amount just to help you out.

Heck, Chris may even offer you one empty mint bag in a trade. At least then he can update the photos of that collection.

 

No pm's. I am just listening to all the advice to see what options are out there. That way, I don't miss something. I like hearing what people have to say, not matter what it is. I learn from that way.

 

You still don't know what you're talking about, and it's not my place to tell you why.

Chris

 

i'll say this I have a few of the 99 wam's and I'm probably dumb for not selling now but I am betting on a comer. I think that even though younger people are not becoming collectors and even though the variety market is down right now in the USA I think eventually the world market will become more interested in our errors and varieties. Being as the US coins are over flooded with crap today I think its possible that pre 2000 coinage may make a comeback. I am not a expert I am not a investor I just have a hunch and you all can take it however you want. Sheila I hope you get a ton from your find the 99 wam its a hard one to find but with the flooded market It will be harder to find soon and im crossing fingers that will make it more interesting.

 

So true.

As stated earlier, coins are only "worth" what two people are willing to haggle over. Ideally, if three or four were to get into a bidding war then all bets are off but generally speaking, these coins, while rare, sell for a lot less than what they used to sell for.

I'm really jealous of the OP since, if I had happened across this coin, I would have been on CLOUD 9! Awesome find! And MS63 is a respectable grade.

And for the record and strickly the record, if the coin sold for $50 the OP would still be $25 richer.

I'm gonna stick my neck out and suggest that a final hammer price will be between $150 and $200 since its a very nice red coin.

Pictures of the raw piece are here:

If this coin were in PCGS Plastic with the attribution, it could possibly get close to $300 through GreatCollections. eBay? A tough audience.

 

I highly disagree with this. I suggest putting it on for a buy it now of somewhere around $250 with make offer and see what rolls in. NEVER start a timed auction at $.01 ever. The bidding slow rolls at the beginning. Start at a minimum of $5. But with this coin I highly suggest a BIN w/ make offer instead of an open auction. You can also list it here in the bSt forum while it's up on the bay and maybe sell to a member direct and avoid ebay fees

 

Well thank you.

But it seems other members here think her find is worth more then you were suggesting.

She found it CRH and payed to have it graded, on advice from forum members. I don't see the problem.

Be nice, if I only had ......

 

ANACS quoted this:

 

I think they give a price for insurance purposes not necessarily an actual value, coins are fickle, it depends on market and desirability of the coin.

 

Yes, I think I got that now that everyone on here disagrees with the actual quote. It is good information that I need to know about this stuff.

 

My "Well thank you" was directed at Chris 9 Ball, no one else.
I try and try to reply with a quote but it just never seems to work for me.

Any who, it is worth more then all those downers first started throwing at you.

What did it start at? $25, $50 on a good day? Sometimes ...it is just sometimes. Read between the lines.
