  1. Can someone PLEASE help us get rid of the junk posts on the Coin Marketplace board?  90+% of the posts and responses in the last year have been either offers to sell foreign pocket change for $100k and up, inquiries about the value of common, damaged US coins, scams, or spam trying to advertize unrelated material or services.   Less than 10% are actually real collector coins for sale by members, and those can be easily lost in all the irrelevant noise. 
     

    If NGC won’t remove these posts, maybe we all can agree to IGNORE the junk posters, not respond 15 times or get in an on-line argument, maybe they will eventually just go away!

  2. The message board has been drowning in ridiculous posts lately, so I don’t know if anyone even looks for real coins at reasonable prices here any more.  But anyway, here are a few. I set my prices based below actual sale prices on ebay, Heritage and other major auction sites.

    All are in my Registry sets, and photos can be found there.

  3. Apparently eBay is now using AI to ignore fraudulent listings. This “1894 Morgan Silver $1 Dollar US Coin” is listed for $29.99 or best offer, “More than 10 available” and free shipping from China.

     

    I saw this on ebay and reported it (twice) as being in violation of Federal law. This is the response I received:

     

    A decision was made on the listing you reported
     
    Hello 
    Thanks again for reporting the listing(s) you found. 

    What happened:
    We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made using automation or artificial intelligence.

  5. Lincoln Coin Catalogue, produced by the Lincoln Coin Company of Elkhart, Indiana.  No publication date but the latest date referenced in the catalogue is 1935, and based on the listed prices I would guess it was printed inthe late 1940’s or early1950’s.  These are apparently their “buy” prices, and wouldn’t you like to get a few at these prices:

    - 1793 Half Cent - $2.00

    - 1916-D Mercury dime - 50c

    - 1797 Half Dollar - $75.00

    - 1804 Silver Dollar - $500.00

    The publication is in fairly good condition (see photos) except for the back cover which is rough.  
     

    Price is $20.00 including shipping by first class mail.

  6. NGC will grade Redfield dollars and return them in the original holders, but most of the grades are lower than the Redfield holders would suggest.  “Gem Uncirculated” would usually be considered MS-65 or better, but most Redfield “Gem Uncirculated” dollars get a 63 or 64 from NGC.  Also, NGC does not guarantee the grade unless the coin is in an NGC holder (I think this applies to GSA dollars also).  Run a search on “Redfield NGC” on ebay - you’ll find dozens of them.

  7. There has been no activity on this board for over a week, so I’ll see if I can get something going.

     

    I’m looking for three Morgan dollars, 1892-CC NGC XF-40, 1893-CC NGC VF-20, and 1894-P NGC F-12.  Does anyone out there have decent examples of these for sale (not the overpriced and/or overgraded stuff that ebay is full of)?  Message me if you have something.

    It is very likely that collectors or dealers would send in expensive coins, less so coins with less of an incentive to get the green bean. 

    You’re probably correct for $3000 - $4000 and up coins.  Those are way out of my range; I only have maybe ten or so coins that would go over $1000 and I bought most of those long ago for much less than that.  The CAC stickers I do have are mostly on MS 66+ and MS 67 coins.  Interesting comment that they have been refunding (fees I assume) submissions that did not get the sticker.

    you can assume that those without the sticker at that grade have not passed with cac.

    I would certainly not assume that.  Many (most?) collectors, like myself, don’t see any value in paying another fee plus postage both ways to have a fourth party confirm what I have already paid fees and postage both ways for a panel of third- party experts to evaluate.

    I discovered this very same PCGS coin  w/same serial number is currently listed on a different dealers site on EBay for $7250  (APMEX)  Is it common practice to sell a coin another dealer has listed and try to make the extra green on the coin, in this case $1000? 

    I typically ignore eBay “list” prices as many (most) are very inflated. Actual completed eBay sales are a useful reference, but I still compare those to other sites like Heritage. And yes, it looks like cross-dealer listings are not uncommon on eBay to artificially inflate price expectations.
     

    I have a few coins I acquired several years ago with CAC stickers.  I didn’t search them out, nor did I pay a premium for them but it looks like the game has changed.
