Most dealers would probably offer 50 for that coin, I don't think you would have sold it for less than 200 though, so 200

 

I just noticed my guess is $90. It was supposed to be $290......

 

Oh, no........that's terrible.

 

Winner! I sold it for $275.
I believe there was still room on the coin as well. Many of the dealers had weaker toners priced from $400-$1,000. I would not be surprised to see it in someone's case for at least $500.

 

Very true! There are quite a few dealers that pull out the greysheet and offer 10%-25% under bid. That's when I say "no thank you" and move on to someone more serious. And at the bigger shows I have found a handful of dealers that do pay decently for toners. If I don't find one of these people, like you mentioned, I just wouldn't sell since I am fairly confident that something like this will net around $200 most of the time on ebay. Plus, I paid $245 so I knew that coin had a market and that I wouldn't let it go for a loss.

@ron_c you're next....

 

This is a coin I won on auction several years ago. It was one of those impulse buys and regretted it. When I saw it, something on it was wrong and when an acquaintance saw it, he had to have it and I then sold it to him on the day I received it. I don't want what I paid or what I sold it for.

How much profit did I make on the coin?

 

ddddd,

I have a question, if someone guesses the exact amount on a coin, do we stop the game right then and move on or do we wait and let everyone guess?

 

$100

 

It's up to each person if they want to end it right away or let it run a bit longer.

I personally would probably end it if I saw at least a few others did comment already.

 

Profit: $75

I am also not the biggest fan of that coin. It's decent, but the colors don't look too vibrant and I see a few breaks in the toning to the left of the nose.

 

Profit from a friend... hmmm.... this is interesting.

I'll guess you made $25 off him/her.

 

No, no friend an acquaintance.

 

Edit...

 

100

 

I'm gonna say $1. You said you regretted your decision, so I think you sold it for little to no profit, like I have done on coins I just want to get rid of.

 

I'm guessing they liked it and made you an offer you couldn't refuse. Since it's a decent toner in a mechanical error holder, he liked it. I think you sat back and made $125.00 on it.
