Very good price ! I bought a 1900 german empire pfennig for $1 in an antique shop....hmm...nearly mintstate....probably more like $30 !!!

 

I bought 4 2001 proof sets on ebay in mid 2002 for $25 each right after the mint stopped allowing orders. In 2005 I sold 2 of the sets for a combined $294.

 

I bought an NGC graded 20th Anniversary Silver Eagle set a few months ago. They were supposed to be all 69's. I got a 69 reverse proof, a 69 uncirculated, and a 70 uncirculated. Big goof on the part of the seller. Too bad I didn't know who the seller was as I had bought about 3 sets of 69 grade at the same time from 3 different sellers. Made about $800 on that.

Who would buy a box of Peace Nickles for $100?

Ruben:
It refers to the the placement of the AM on the reverse (connected or separate).
Apparently some Proof dies were mixed in and used for regular production coins.

I once (not more than 10 years ago) bought a 1932 - D Washington for $3. Haven't sold it yet tho, so the profit is still building in it!

 

make good profit

so far, i keep buying and sometimes plan to sell some. but i did not sell any. i don't know why?. then, coin keep piling and piling and it seems no more space for me to continue buying. i need help.

 

Last year I bought a beautiful 1879-S DMPL morgan dollar for $45 and sold it two weeks later for $313.

 

From who? Where? You can tell me buddy! Awesome. :thumb: What condition? (I'll choke if you say BU)

sorry thought I said... it's a SOLID F-12. I figured the coin was worth $35 and guessed he may have mis-marked it, so I asked the guy a second time what the price was... I didn't ask again.

 

Wow. Definetly worth a bit more than $35, lol. Very awesome! :thumb:

Truthfully, it was 1997 and it was a $35 coin. Today is a different story. Seems most of the stuff that I bought before I took a break has appreciated quite a bit. I could never afford these coins today.

As an aside I was concentrating on Washingtons at the time and I also bought a very nice (slightly overdipped) 32-D in AU for about $300. I still have it too.

 

big profit

my latest coins. which is the 3-pc am. eagle silver set. cost at $100.00 now at $500.00 to $600.00. it seem i will make good profit on this.

 

Elaine, I find myself thinking about this in answer to your original question:

I don't sell coins, I impound them. LOL Therefore, no profit. I think my heirs will have a field day tho.

 

never sold a coin yet

 

I've lost on every coin I sold..

 

flying eagle cents

I seem to do very well with the flying eagle cents. I can double my money at an auction very easily!
