Message:: [QUOTE="gacoinz, post: 149366, member: 6114"]the right toning, the right strike, lack of any large marks can make price guides be just that....a guide thus as said, it's whatever someone will pay and just as importantly, WHO'S LOOKING at that moment in time. I recently sold a partial set of Barber dimes on ebay.  I'd put the reserve and BIN much higher than I'd meant to but wasn't able to lower the BIN after I already had bids.  The last day, along comes an ebay shark and bought the set for my BIN of $650.  These coins were about 60  that were all AG-VG.   Well, I had been watching another auction and it was for about the same amount of coins, but from the fuzzy scans provided I could tell the coins were at least a little better than the ones I'd sold.  So, I waited until the last minute, put in a bid and won the whole lot for $300!  When I got the coins, they were mostly VG-XF and just to show some of the know-it-alls on ebay coin chat that I knew what I was doing, I broke the set down a couple of months ago or so and sold them all individually for over $2100.  That was a rare find, and I kinda wish I'd of kept them.  Course, I still have my best book! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)[/QUOTE]
