[QUOTE="Ana Silverbell, post: 3331696, member: 75156"]There is definitely a difference between a BIN/Best Offer, and a listing with an opening auction bid, attached to Make an Offer. I don't know what coin Paddyman98 was interested in but I would bet the seller found a book or online site that valued it close to his $200 figure. That is, the seller had an opinion of value that is not in sync with [I]today's[/I] values. Recorded coin values are not keeping up with slowing, declining coin markets for many coins, and some sellers lag behind as well, holding onto higher, historical prices. An example of this was a coin that recently sold on eBay for $2,750. It was a raw, 1872-CC seated half. The seller listed it as UNC; in my opinion it was AU. In AU it was listed at $4,000. Sale price didn't come close.[/QUOTE]
