I re-opened my eBay coin store earlier this month and have noticed the following. Raw modern nickels and dimes are not selling. Silver dimes, state and territories clad quarters, modern zinc and wheat cents, Kennedy halves, Sac and Presidential dollars are selling. Also, I am finding that digital photos of the coins show more scratches and dings on the coins that do not always appear after checking with a loupe. I have not listed many of my NP clad quarters yet, but the ones that are listed get a lot of views and sold a 2021 WCD quarter.

Greetings. You prob heard about the $600 stimulus checks being sent out. I got mine. Not much money. Was wondering what I could do with it. I got the bright idea that I could start a new US coin business, buying and selling on eBay. I haven't signed up yet. Haven't had the time. Right now I am doing data entry on US quarter types and mintages. I don't know much about all the US coins. But I have great genetics. My Grandpa Martin on my Dad's side had an awesome collection. Lots of gold. So I decided that since I don't know much about US coins, I should just start learning mostly about one denomination. I chose quarters. Being new, and only starting out with $600, I would be foolish to buy gold or super rare coins. I just ordered the Red and Blue book. A few observations: Perhaps like you, I love looking at the coins being offered up on eBay. I can spend hours (which I don't have), browsing the eBay listings. If I ever get enough money, I would luv to get one of those big lots. I know that you prob will get taken on those, but they look like fun. I've been doing some studying on buying and selling coins, too. I am pretty confident that I will do well buying and selling. I won't be buying any "Buy it nows." Just auctions. One thing that amazes me is how little people offer for really nice pieces. You can have an Indian Head penny, in beautiful condition, well over a hundred years old, and you will be lucky if you can get five dollars for it. This ceases to amaze me! I'm think that I am going to concentrate on proofs, and brilliant gem uncircs. After I run the coin thru my screening, I will ask myself, is this a coin that I would enjoy owning? (In case I get stuck with it. I suspect that lots of folks over pay for their coins). Esp how people will hardly offer anything for really nice, old coins. Forget pennies and nickles. It would cost more in shipping than what most of them are worth. I'm going to stay with silver. I can always subtract out the silver value to find out the desirability factor of a coin. I have identified four factors that contribute to a coins price. I haven't worked out the math equations yet, but I will. Date. Everything else being equal, an older coin should go for more than a new(er) coin. Mintage and "Key" dates. Actually, these terms are interchangable. And while they do affect the price of a coin, it is not totally dependable, again, all other things being equal. Desirability. You can have the same coin, same grade, even the same year, and mint, and some coins, especially finishes, are going to be more desired by collectors in general. Burnished finish on proofs, and colored coins come to mind. They will be less desired by collectors. Even if the mintage is lower. Grading. Obviously the grade of the coin is very important. So we have four factors that influence a coins current value: Date, mintage, Collector desirability, and grade. Each of these factors can be gotten or calculated. So these are a few things that I am working on right now. I'm going to start slow, to just get my feet wet. I have had excellent experience selling other things on eBay. For example, I know that the photo is very important. I'm going to avoid all those "errors", too. They hardly ever sell. And I will be interested in mostly single coins, or very small lots. No rolls of coins or monster boxes for me. Rolls of coins wouldn't look very pretty in my beautiful treasure chest. And of course forget about monster boxes. I hope that I can make some money, get some nice coins, and maybe have a little fun, too. I'm retired, and going crazy with nothing to do. Wish me luck. Any suggestions you have for me of course are welcome.

2011 25th Anniversary Eagle Set NGC Slabbed 1952-S Franklin Half Dollar NGC MS65+ 1953-D Franklin Half Dollar PCGS MS64 FBL 1953-S Franklin Half Dollar NGC MS65 1955 Franklin Half Dollar PCGS MS66

So I was just looking for a ballpark value of my 2018 W ASE, got on eBay and found that the coin is selling for mid-$30 dollar range slabbed, and I paid almost $50.00 for it from the mint! So my assumption that ALL products will have the lowest price when bought from the mint is my own little cognitive fabrication. Besides my mind being weak, what would explain this pricing bit? Do they really charge that much more for the little box and COA??

Recently acquired these nickels, the color is just completely unbeatable and insane. Any thoughts the origin or relative color to coins from the Appalachian horde? Pinks and greens seem to be a common factor in many of those points, I want to reach out to the community to get some input.

Good morning! Just wanted to let people know that I'm having a HUGE sale in my eBay Store - taking a bunch of listings that have been sitting around for a while (including some newer ones) and switching them to 7-day auction-style listings. I've drastically dropped prices on pretty much everything - as in half price or more. 7-day auctions, I combine shipping, the only reason I'm not a Top-Rated Seller is because I haven't sold enough items (and I refuse to allow 30 or 60 day returns for coins.) My Detailed Seller Ratings are all 5-star. Good luck, and let's help me get rid of some coins. ALSO: Check out the BIN/BO consignment and personal items I still have in there - some great stuff (including my cherrypick of the year - a 1942 Walking Liberty Half Dollar DDR in an unattributed PCGS MS67 Gold Shield slab) REASONABLE OFFERS ARE ALWAYS CONSIDERED!

Available are 5 Jefferson war nickels with either 5 or 6 complete steps. At this time, I am only posting these coins on the NGC site for sale…they will head to eBay next if I can’t find homes for them. With that being said, I am amenable to reasonable offers, especially if multiple coins are involved. All coins are graded by NGC and were upgraded by coins I now have in my collection. Nickels will be shipped to the buyer at no charge and I offer a no questions asked return if the buyer isn’t totally happy with the coin they receive. Payment is either by check, money order, Paypal F&F, or Paypal + 3% to cover charges. I’ve purchased and sold many coins through both the NGC and PCGS websites and have never had any problems on either side of the transactions I’ve been party to.
