<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 5142366, member: 86498"]Over the last few years I have been selling a number the coins that I feel no longer serve any purpose and should be given a new home. Normally I would put together a group and simply post them in the mail. However thee last group I had to send using Fed Ex and thus a value had to be placed on them. Okay so for the first time I had to look up and try to come to some meaningful conclusion as to how much the coin was worth. My methodology was relatively simple as the coins were being shipped to CNG I came to a notion of value based on the results of similar coins in their E Auctions or more rarely their Feature Auctions. A little over a week ago CNG Auction 480 ended and I got my results.</p><p> My Evaluation...The Results from CNG 480....The difference + or -</p><p>1. 600 ................1200...............................+600</p><p>2. 1000...............1100................................+100</p><p>3. 400................. 425 ................................+25</p><p>4. 800.................1700 ...............................+900</p><p>5. 300..................400................................ +100</p><p>6. 600................. 1000...............................+400</p><p>7. 600..................1200...............................+600</p><p>8. 700...................1000 .............................+300</p><p>9. 500 ..................375................................-125</p><p>10. 400...................325................................-75</p><p>11. 200...................900................................+700</p><p>12. 400...................200............................... -200</p><p>13. 500 ..................650................................+150</p><p>14. 1000.................500 ................................-500</p><p>15. 400..................1100................................+700</p><p>16. 400................. 180................................. -220</p><p>17. 300..................350 ..................................+50</p><p>18. 600 ..................1100................................+500</p><p>19. 1000.................1400................................+400</p><p>20. 1000.................600................................ -400</p><p>21. 1000.................550.................................. -450</p><p>22. 400....................225..................................-175</p><p>23. 300....................325...................................+25</p><p>24. 200................... 425...................................+225</p><p>25. 500....................425...................................-75</p><p>26 200................... 350..................................+150</p><p>27. 400....................325...................................-75</p><p>28. 200 ....................90....................................-110</p><p>So what can be seen.

Three coins 14,21 and 28 I thought should do better but I had very little information to work with. I knew that 11 was rare but I really had no idea what it would bring. I thought I was being optimistic at 200. No 22 did not take a good picture and suffered as a result. I thought 19 might actually fare rather more poorly than it did. Six coins out of the 28 did about what I had expected and another 4 did either somewhat better or worse than anticipated. Over all I am very pleased with the result. True I would have liked to get more for some of the coins did not do as well as I thought they should but many did much better than I thought they might. Again I cannot stress this point enough. Auctions are a bit of a crap shoot. It is best to have an overall Idea of what the coins should make as a group and be happy if they do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
