<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 696220, member: 9474&quot;]JW,</p><p>I will share a little story with you and others and maybe it will apply here and answer your question above..... When I received my first coin ever graded back from NGC, it was a buffalo $50 gold and it graded MS70.&nbsp; I was so excited that I brought it in to my local coin club meeting to show some of the guys I am friends with.&nbsp; So as I was showing my buddy who was sitting next to me, a guy came up to me and said how much did I want for this coin?&nbsp; I told him it was not for sale and he persisted and asked me again and I persisted back and told him that this was staying in my collection.&nbsp; After the meeting, my buddy pulled me aside and gave me some advice.&nbsp; He told me that ALL my coins are for sale....always!&nbsp; He said that if I really didn&#039;t want to sell a coin, just put a ridiculous price on it and most people would not buy it.....but if someone did decide to buy it, then I would hopefully have made enough money to go out and buy another one.&nbsp; Personally, I think this is great advice and I have now used this to my advantage.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So when you asked whether or not you should use the PCGS price as a good starting ground.....I say sure...go ahead...You may find someone who is willing to drop the bucks.....and like Bruce said, if I did have the money....and boy do I wish I had it....I would buy that from you in a heartbeat.&nbsp; Treat it like a house....start high and negotiate down if you have to.&nbsp; You might just end up surprising yourself.&nbsp; </p><p>Good luck.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>PS - as excited as you may be...don&#039;t rush into selling this.&nbsp; You are doing all the research and everything that needs to be done, but foolish mistakes happen to the best of us when you get too excited.&nbsp; You know what you have in hand. Its not going anywhere. The price isn&#039;t going to change to much in the next few months, so take your time selling this.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have too much experience wiht online auctions, but I use Teletrade more than Heritage or the others.&nbsp; Personally, when it comes to the coins I collect...which are IKES, SBAs, SACs and Prez dollars, Teletrade has more auctions than the others with these coins.&nbsp; I think Heritage has a better name. Its like PCGS vs. NGC...tit for tat. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am rooting for you so any help that I can give, just pm me.&nbsp; Otherwise, we are all here to help you and root for you too! Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
