Only bidder for an auction.

1. Multiple people have told you why nobody else bid on this coin, you just refuse to listen or accept the answer.

2. Alabama is on the east cost.

3. Tables at most of the shows I attend are over $100 with larger ones over $200. The F.U.N. show, which I have a table at cost me $600. I don't have a B&M shop yet but MOST of the dealers I work with (who are mostly located on the "east coast") do. They also charge .50 for V nickels like yours.

No need to put me on the ignore list though as I will never again comment on this or any other thread started by you. I hope you enjoy your coin and continue to learn about our great hobby!

Although I disagree with Detecto and their supporters, and agree with the other comments in the thread that you can't tell much with the pictures provided as far as what the deal is with coin, the seller appears to be having issues with accepting payments since his Paypal is not verified. I contacted him and received no response for two days, and emailed him again. I cancelled my payment and contacted Ebay that I am going to let this go and left a nuetral feedback to fix his Paypal. My definition of a cull is definitely different than others. Of course if when you receive contrary opinions on an item you kind of have to go with what you agree with. Somoene did make one comment that made sense, how can you tell if it is cleaned or was part of jewelry with light reflecting on he two-by-two. I know some tend to get a little carried away with throughing around that "cleaned and damaged" comment when dealing with raw coins. Of course some coins in slabs are also cleaned that they either let go or didn't notice. I am going to a brick and mortar shop that has good prices and going to see what they charge for a similar coin. It seems like an ego thing and trying to make themselves more knowlegable or the coins they have or sell look more appealing. I don't really count those opinions from those that sell at shows since you also have to pay admission to these shows along with other costs associated with them. Shows don't count since there is a fee and costs associated with them that add to the cost of the coin. Even the brick and mortar shops cost you because of the gas.

 

I hope everyone has a nice day. The coin as originally shown most certainly brought $2.00 worth of discussion. :dead-horse:

 

What have you done with Georgia, South Carolina and Florida?

 

I actually meant the Northeast and Alabama is in the South. My point being costs are different depending on where you are in the country that results in lower or higher costs. Many coin shows charge a fee and there is also additional costs to attend these like transportation. So even if you could find this in a cull box for 50 cents a piece which I don't agree that is where it belongs, you would not be paying 50 cents in total. It is pretty easy to agree with one person and sell slabbed coins for their market value but with raw coins on Ebay with bad pics it sometimes difficult to determine their value and what issues they may have. That is why I have to agree that given the pics making a correct evaluation is difficult, which may cause people to skip over it. The obverse pic has glare from the cell phone used to take the picture and is on its side. I am not saying that the coin is not polished up or was used as jewelry which very may be true but by this pic, it is difficult to say. Doesn't really matter though, I emailed the seller twice since Friday about an issue with their Paypal and they haven't contacted me so I will not be buying it anyway. If the seller posted good pics, they may or may not have gotten more bids but it definitely appears they are not experienced selling on Ebay but do see they purchased many items. I am going to a B&M coin shop tomorrow with good prices and see what a coin with these details would cost.
