<p>[QUOTE="Nickidawn, post: 25584600, member: 147841"]About 10 years I have been researching coins and basically just took up checking pocket change my pocket change and everyone else’s in my family and I’ve been trying that entire time to read articles watch videos myself and anyway I can. Everything is to know about. I obviously don’t need to tell anyone here that there is so much to know, and one of the ways I try to gauge the value of a coin I think I might have, I go to eBay and do a search on a specific coin and filter the results to items that have already sold and sort them from highest price to lowest. Just so I can get a basic idea of how much the coin has sold for. I noticed something strange when doing these searches, I kept seeing coins selling for amounts that seemed totally unjustified. Plus, each time I see these odd auctions, with the seemingly valueless coin going for $2500, nearly every time it’s from a zero feedback seller. Which is odd. That’s a lot of money. How are many people so trusting of zero feedback sellers? I’m like what is going on here? money laundering? I just went to eBay and just picked a random coin & year-1972 Washington quarter and filtered the results to already sold items, sorted highest price first and the first two results are for coins that should not be worth $1000(I’m definitely not an expert by any means but it doesn’t seem like they’re worth that) and both from zero feedback sellers. This happens way too often to be a coincidence. What bothers me the most about this is that I’m trying to get an accurate idea of how much coins are worth and that is definitely throwing it completely off. Lol [ATTACH=full]1637983[/ATTACH]</p><p>Am I missing something here? Is there some reason why those two coins are that valuable? I could totally be oblivious.. been trying for years, but like I said, there is a lot to know about coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
