leeg Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Just sealed a deal, terms, on this piece: Sellers Description: This issue commemorates the 100th anniversary of Alabama’s induction into the Union. The first coins struck contained the 2x2 notation signifying Alabama as the 22nd state of the union. The “X” dividing the two digits was to suggest St. Andrew’s cross, a motif from the Alabama state flag. The 2x2 notation was soon removed from the dies and additional “plain” specimens were struck. The present example display a wonderful array of sky blue, sunset orange and apricot hues on obverse and reverse. An exceptionally pleasing example. Only 6,006 examples minted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamillion Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi Where do you guys purchase coins from? I have only used Ebay and I'm starting to think all the raw coins there have problems. Do you only buy graded coins? and is online a good place to purchase them? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Kamillion, I seldom buy online anymore, instead I frequent the local coin shows in my area. We generally have 1 per month (there was one today where I got the two coins below), and it's much easier to haggle and see what you're getting before you get them, and you get to bring them home right away! Depending on where you live, there may be some nice shows around, I think Coin World used to have an online listing of shows too, so you could look up your state and see what's around. Here are two I picked up at the local show today, the first is a nice variety I needed for the Dansco, the second was a 1/2 off bin purchase for $6 and I was intrigued by the die rotation!

Kamillion Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 i see a few roosevelt ms66 coins for about $14 a pop. and a 1966 SMS ms66 kennedy for $18. as well as a ms65 1957 quarter for $20. if I purchase these tonight ill post the picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acan451 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 No it is raw. The thing about EBay is, it takes a lot of searching . I don't know just how to explain it, you just find a link (Seller) and one leads to another. On thing I do is when I find coin I like I highlight the name put it in the search bar and go from there. When you bid on an item and say you don't win, below the item are other sellers and again one site leads to another. And some ties you just get lucky like I did on this Jefferson. What you have to look for is the shipping charge. I have had some sellers charge $11.00 for one dime, not slabbed just the dime. And it was a great price but I don't bid on them. Any questions and I would be happy to help just PM me Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acan451 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I have bought many Roosevelt MS69 DCAM. And only paid $5.00 to $8.00 for them just take your time and look around. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamillion Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 a NGC 1966 SMS MS66 Kennedy 1/2 coin shipped for $18 seems like a good price. I see others going for $40 or so. I might get this one. Just seems like a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamillion Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) hmm wow that is a good price for that nice coin. There aren't many auctions for graded coins, so the ones I have been posting were "buy it now". And usually those arent a good deal. Which is why the ones that I posted stood out in my opinion. I wouldnt be able to get such a good deal like you did unless it was an auction based purchase. Will def keep my eye out though. also , i was wondering, sometimes i see Ultra cameo - does that also mean deep cameo ?

acan451 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Hi Kamillion I think they are pretty much the same But not a hundred percent sure. I'm am still a rookie at this so bear with me And as fare as auctions for graded coins goes, there are quite a few. Like I said you just have to look around Just won 07 & 08 & 09-S PROOF JEFFERSON NICKEL COINS,NGC PF-69UC For $12.50 I was very happy with that.
