The images are decent, Jimbucks, better than some on ebay. A little story: the Yankee Peddler pawn shop and Brookfield Coin told me about a guy wanting to sell one of the truly rare $3 gold pieces, indications were it should be worth over $5K in AU though it was in and AU53 Anacs slab, the coin experts who saw it said it was all there for grade, but you never know with lower tier slabs. At any rate no one offered near what he was looking for. If he had walked into the HA headquarters or gotten offers at the Baltimore coin show, he probably would have been offered 90% of top dollar maybe full money if it was on want lists, but I doubt it as Anacs and ICG graded coins are treated as raw by the top pros.

 

It is relatively easy to get high resolution scanner images, Staples has done it for me when I am not near a scanner. Set it for 48 bit color, 500 pixels on a side minimum, 1200 dpi; jpeg image which you can then plug into ebay. Anyone can do this. Those ebay sellers whose images are too good get neutrals occasionally; "the coin was darker than the glowing ebay images". Not something you want to get.

I have a link to the auction site with a set price and a "make an offer" option (and an offer under evaluation via Ebay), so what's the issue? Members promote their coins up for auction all the time in this forum (as they should).

Sorry, I missed the Ebay part - I had thought Ebay would have been noted in the thread titel for that type of listing.

4/3 Update.

In an offer/counter=offer situation.

 

YOU can still get it, if you hurry.

 

You will not find another 1879 $3 gold in NGC (or PCGS) AU-55 for sale under $2,000 ANYWHERE. And probably not for sale at any price today.

 

It's called RARE. Did I mention they only made 3,000 of them?

If a board member buys it I will throw in a nice ASE at no cost!
