<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2725158, member: 27832&quot;]That example is a good data point, but I&#039;m pretty sure a seven-day auction isn&#039;t the way to get the best price on a coin like this. You&#039;ve got a much thinner audience for problem coins, and the chances that you&#039;ll find the right <i>two</i> people from that audience in the course of any <i>single</i> week are rather small.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were going to list this, I&#039;d probably start it as a 30-day BIN around $500, with Best Offer enabled, and relist it a time or two. I&#039;m betting I&#039;d get at least one offer higher than $300, even though the coin I&#039;m getting has a lot more damage than the one you linked.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Compare to a <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1878-p-trade-dollar-yeah-right.227707/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1878-p-trade-dollar-yeah-right.227707/">holed, engraved, XF details 1878 proof trade dollar</a> that I got in a &quot;junk lot&quot; a few years back. Undamaged examples at PR40 and PR45 have sold for $1380, and an MS60 example went for $1222 at Stacks Bowers in 2013. I listed mine in 2015 with a high BIN -- I forget if it was $1000 or $1200 -- and got a winning offer of $700. Next highest offer was around $500, and there were a couple much lower than that. If I&#039;d listed it as an auction, and all those interested parties had piled on, I would&#039;ve gotten $500 at most; if either of the high bidders had missed the auction, it would&#039;ve been down in the $200 range.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I do, I&#039;ll follow up here...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
