GraftedInTheVine Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Hey all, I wanted your opinions on these confederate cent restrikes. Are they worth getting graded if I plan to sell them? And what kind of price tag could I put on them? AcesKings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraftedInTheVine Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 I really like how they set up this frame too. It reminds me of my recurve bow where I have to bend the wood to set the strings. Don't see many like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPRC Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Good question as I have a set of these myself and I am considering having them graded. So far, I have held off. First, the goldine and silver ones tend to bring more money. My gut tells me it depends on the grade. Many are high grade, so at MS-67 or better, it would seem to be a no brainer to have professionally graded before you sell. Below that, its anybody's guess. I cannot tell from your pics. The bottom pic looks like it has spots, which I suspect would limit your grade to 65 or less. In that case, it likely isn't worth the money.

Fenntucky Mike Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I'm not familiar with these but NGC MS67 graded examples seem to sell for just over $100. I wouldn't think they are worth submitting GraftedInTheVine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraftedInTheVine Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 Thanks for the replies! Yes I'll probably sell that spotted one for $30 bucks and maybe keep the other one. I saw where an MS68 example sold for around $500. I'm going to use the frame for an original DBZ cel art by Akira Toriyama I recently picked up.

It looks reminiscent of Captain Nemo from Nadia and the Secret of Blue Water, or possibly a character from the Galaxy Express 999 series.

I haven't watched Star Blazers yet, but it looked like a character by Leiji Matsumoto! I was introduced to Japanese animation all the way back when SciFi channel had Saturday Morning Anime in the early '90s when I was only 7, and GE999 completely blew my mind. Your picture brought up some good nostalgia Fenntucky Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
