Post A Coin You Are Hopelessly Buried In

[jerseycat10]

I am hopelessly buried in this common date 1924 P Peace NGC MS-63 for $600.00.

I paid $310 for this, and I don't know what I was thinking at the time. It was the result of bidding fever; I have learned my lesson.

She sure is nice looking. I've learned my lesson too... I think.

I try at all times to not get caught up in bidding fever, and to never bury myself in a coin. If I pay a ridiculous price, it is only going to be at auction - which means that someone else is willing to pay almost the same price as me (and implying that I am not that buried in it).

Well, using your logic, I am not hopelessly buried in this coin, as I acquired it from someone who paid north of $400 for it. Your post makes me feel better, .

My error was an eBay purchase. I haven't had much luck selling it.

I agree that the price was high but that color is INSANE!! In a good way!

Have you shown this to Coinsarefun? She would go nuts for it!!

I bought it from her.

In fairness, you could probably sell the coin at the $40 level or so and only take a $20 loss. This is a large (1/3 of the original price) loss, but in the grander scheme of things, $20 is a cheap education.

I won't be bidding at any more of that guys auctions. I did some research on him after receiving this and his refusal to take it back. He does this to people all the time. I do have it listed for sale and it would work as filler for someone who needs the rarer S mint.

I will undoubtedly lose my shirt when I sell my Silver Proof Set as I have no interest in keeping the set up to date ( Though I just ordered the 2012 grrrrrrrrr ) (SPAM) ...

I bought this coin 3-4 years ago as I most recently found the invoice from DLRC. Its avaraging about 1/2 of what I paid at todays pricing.

I looked for an emoticon for "irony" but couldn't find one. .

Hey, no matter if you're upside down on that coin -- it is a beaut!!!

[messydesk]

I think the only stuff I'm buried in is stuff I bought from the mint.

[AnkurJ]

I'll sell for a loss before being buried.

I am in the same boat as John....all my "Possiden Adventures" came in mint packaging....and being the bright boy that I am, I keep ordering from them.... I just got notice that they shipped my subscription orders the other day... Is there a "mint buyers anonymous" group somewhere?

I learned my lesson on the US Mint back in the mid-80's (year, not age ) ... still it is the only practical way to get some items.

sell for a loss == being buried

If you bought the coin via PayPal or through eBay, file a complaint under the eBay/PayPal buyer protection plans. If you paid via credit card (as I recommend), you can do a charge back, and upon successful reversal of the fees, you can then mail it back (after the original seller in this particular case - who intentionally and grossly misrepresented the coin - pays you for the return shipping and handling).

I think the biggest problem here is the market. With the poor economy, fewer collectors have funds available for luxury items, and moderns are usually the first coins to take a hit because many collectors assume that they will be easy to find later. While this isn't necessarily true of the 1995-W, the decrease in the Silver Eagle market generally may be the culprit.

 

In short, if I were you, I would consider holding the set for a year or two. I think it will be worth the wait.

I'll sell for a loss too; however, if I am only going to receive a few cents on the dollar, I might as well keep the coin (since I obviously liked it enough to buy the coin in the first place).

I have a knack for selling at the wrong time - I used to have a roll of every year MS silver eagles and sold at $15 ounce, they obviously did much better than melt but could have done much better

 

The best person who screws me is myself ...

If you like the coin then, IMO, don't SELL!

Way this auction house works is all sales are final so no recourse. I tried paypal and they said the same.

Just cut your losses and move on. We're only talking $20 here.
