<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 681324, member: 15199&quot;]<b><font size="6">6th Coin</font></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There has been as usual, many auctions which have been url-ed on ebay to draw attention to a specific point or discussion as to value or lack thereof. Most often the photos are not the best. I would like to offer as a lesson in coin buying in this post. I am not the teacher, the posters will be teaching and learning at the same time. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;<b><font size="5">This coin is not for sale. It is the example used.</font></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;<font size="4">This coin is graded, BB, or &quot;detail&quot; by a big 4 TPG. The photos are taken through plastic. It is not RAW.</font></p><p><font size="4"></font>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So pretend&nbsp; this is the listing I have put on my auction, and then post what you think as to price and condition. After some action , I will tell you the results.&nbsp; AGAIN, this is a pretend auction&nbsp; I will not sell this coin. In financial groups it is called &quot;paper money&quot; so you can trade stocks on paper and not lose your money until you are ready. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Pretend ad: :smile</p><p>==================================================&nbsp; =</p><p>&nbsp;<b>Wow! High Grade 1832 Capped Bust Half Dollar, sm. letters. Grading is subjective. Use my photos to make your decision. Taken out of Granny&#039;s safe deposit box! Looks good to me. Buy it now for $ 295.00 or best offer. </b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1832obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1832rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ok, what do you think? offer grading/ condition/ price/ suggestions</p><p>and why you say so.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It has already been to a TPG and back, so you won&#039;t offend or anything. </p><p>Again</p><p>this is not an offer to sell, nor any offer at all, it is a pretend learning experience. A lab practical if you would.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jim ( Granny :smile)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
