Message:: [QUOTE="DJP7x0s, post: 307642, member: 5336"]Hello, Im not all that familiar with gold coins. I dont own any and have never really followed their prices. So, I figured my best bet was to consult the helpful members of cointalk. I have someone thats willing to trade some of my coins for their 1914 Quarter Eagle. Its graded by National Numismatic Certification as MS62, and they are willing to trade for $350 worth of my coins. Im not familiar with NNC, but feel that its better than buying a raw coin, especially not knowing much about gold coins. Anyhow, Ive been following the prices on ebay for a few days now, and Ive been seeing prices of around $400. But then I saw this one end at $170. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140189582654&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=004" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140189582654&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=004" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140189582654&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=004</a>    Anyhow, why did this one go for so much less??? Was it just a fluke, did I miss my chance to buy one way under what its worth??? Or if Im patient, do you think Ill see another one go for that low of a price??? Or is it my better bet to trade with the guy who wants $350 worth of my coins??? Thank you for looking, and thanks for any help.[/QUOTE]
