I do a bit of buying on Ebay. usualy about 8 items a month or more. The items are mostly mint and proof sets which are for the most part pretty safe.

I buy these on Ebay because some people are not very wise in their wording and presentation and I can usually find some really cheap sets. Any time I can buy a proof set for 3.00 Im happy. I've done it a couple of times. any time I can get a set for <$10 including shipping I am happy.

The fat nickle I asked about in error coins was broken out of a 1968 proof set that I got for <$10 the case was banged up but since it's the second one I had I decided to break it and used the coins for other sets I am collecting. Like a proof Kennedy set. If the nickle is a think plancet error I think $10 for the set will be an awesome price to pay.

 

I picked up 4 rolls of 1964-D silver dimes on eBay yesterday for $80+$5.40 shipping. The purchase is for my 'junk silver' box, but I will have 200 dimes to check for Doubled Die Reverses or anything else that is numismatically interesting. No dealers in Mpls./St. Paul, MN would sell these dimes for that price. My next buy will probably be a non-bullion item unless I can find a 'lot' that combines both for a low price. Those are my favorite buys and I've gotten some unbelievable deals on occasion.

I bought an 1852 3-cent silver (Fine) for $14 plus S&H a few months ago- from England! The Royal Mail envelope and stamp were interesting, also.

 

e-bay

i cancelled bidding empty case for proof set. because it is not re-useable.

 

e-bay

i tried to bid something from e-bay and always lossing. anyway, i am new on this line. should i keep bidding upward?. that might be expensive. so right now, i am still zero.

 

I bought a beautiful 1914D Lincoln in XF from a guy in austrailia for $105.00, but the shiping cost was over $20.00.

 

Who graded it? Has it been authenticated? Has it arrived yet? If so that is Quite a deal!

 

I sure hope it is graded....many of them are fake...in fact I had a 1914-P that was a fake...

Speedy

 

Yes I received the coin over 6 months ago.
Its not certified, but I did run it by my coin shop dealer he is a member of ANACS and I trust his opinions. He agreed with the grading and asked if it was for sale.

 

Is he a member of the ANA or does he work for ANACS??...you see where people have to get memberships to PCGS and NGC NANACS is open to anyone....
If he is just a member of the ANA...all that means is that he paid $32 a year and gets his name on a card....I suggest that you get it to ANACS/NGC/PCGS and have it slabbed.
I trust my dealer too...but if its a key I want it slab...either before I buy it or soon after I do....

I have only recently started buying from ebay because I like to examine the coins before I buy the. But I have to say, it has been a great experience so far. I have been buying mostly Kennedy proof coins that are uncertified. some of the coins have values of around a couple of bucks and others are in the 10-15 dollar range. I'm trying to get my hands on a 1998-s matte for under 275. It's the only coin I need.

 

coin from ebay

i rather not bid from e-bay. buy direct from the mint.

 

But there are many coins that you can't get from the mint....Ebay is a great place if you know about the coins you are looking for...sure...you can get ripped but you need to have the know-how before you go....
