Can I get your opinion?

[BLive1972]

I'm not looking to sell this here. I just want to see if anyone thinks I should change anything about my listing. Should I leave out that I think it's in F condition and just let everyone judge for themselves? I want to be sure that I'm honest about it. Thanks!!

I know, but I was thinking that I should leave the word fine out. Maybe I'm being too nitpicky and just leave it. I did say to judge for yourself. Thanks Jimbo.

 

...a mod can remove this if need be. Thanks!

The coin is probably better than fine anyway. It does appear to have had a cleaning. With coins like this assigning a grade is better. If there are a hundred 1917 Type 1's on E-Bay's list collectors often put in their search grades they want just to eliminate those they cannot afford.

 

 

[BLive1972]

Well, that was one of my main concerns. I thought it may have been cleaned as well, but I also heard that it just looks circulated with regular wear marks. I'll just let it ride and see what happens. Thanks for your input!

[RigoAmador-migration]

I think it looks fine. The fish have not yet bitten though. They are just waiting for the last seconds. Best of luck Blive1972.

[BLive1972]

I did better than expected with the last 2 I sold, so we shall see. Thank you

If you mention ultra rare pq cacable 1917 standing liberty type 1 you might get more views and bids.....just joking! Looks good.

Then all he would need to do would be to abuse adjectives like "rare," "unique," "one of a kind," "premium quality," etc.

 

To the original poster: Thank you for being an ethical seller and attempting to use proper selling etiquette. It is always refreshing and very much appreciated to see. I wish the other 99.999% of eBay sellers would follow suit. It would make purchasing, searching, and even selling much nicer.

99.999%? You mean there are only two? I would have thought there would be more than that.

OK so I exaggerated ever so slightly.

Nothing I see requires change. However, it is not a "key date" by the parameters most collectors would consider.

[BLive1972]

Thanks James. I was thinking its more of the type that's rare, but I was hoping that the people who'd be interested would know exactly what it is. I'll tweak it a little. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

$5.26 and 2 watchers My goal is to get more than I paid. $26 I believe

[BLive1972]

I didn't know that you can't edit the description without adding another line. Now I screwed it up and can't fix the description Whoops

[jpcienkus]

Don't worry, I'll buy it for 19.99! j/k.

I do not do much in the way of descriptions, much like Great Collections and Teletrade do not but let the grading services and the pictures give clarity.

 

I suppose that I could give very florid or ostentatious descriptions like this but would it attract interest or trouble?

 

"One of the finest of this type that we have personally handled, and frankly far too valuable to submit to the grading services which I am sure would salivate over this extremely rare and special coin and put it in their choicest holder. Purchased from a Florida estate of a multi-millionare, who every Sunday invited over an exclusive group of other king-pins of industry where they enjoyed this royal hobby with great passion and excitement. This is truly a one of a kind coin that is sure to attract spirited bidding. We would personally hold on to this coin as part of the "Excaliber Olariat" pedigree, but want to give the world and eager collecters a chance to own this rare piece of numismatic history."

[newprepper]

Can I use that?

[Nutmeg Coin]

Be my guest.

 

Also, I have been impressed by descriptions of coin surfaces, color, etc., with ever more effusive praise. Creative writing is fun!

[AstroTrain]

seems to me that you should leave it as is

[BLive1972]

Yeah, left it and it's not doing bad.
