As a matter of fact there were 0 bids in all 3 auctions. Now, what that should tell you is two things - number 1 this seller is not well thought of. Number 2 - he is selling overpriced &amp; overgraded coins, which explains number 1.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it also gives you some idea of the value of your coin - whatever the case it&#039;s less than $50. And based on your description I suspect it is worth less than half of that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
