Still hanging around, reduced to $195.00 for the pair.

Wrong forum. The “Marketplace” is to sell or buy coins. This question should go to the “Newbie Coin Collecting Questions” forum.

The entire bezel is 14k. I haven’t taken it off to weigh it.

1852 $2.50 gold quarter eagle, securely contained in a 14k gold bezel. No soldering or other permanent attachment to the coin, the bezel is closed with a small screw. $425.00, including Priority Mail shipping to a US address.

Appears that finally worked. The listing has disappeared.

Worth a try. You could also search eBay for “1894 Morgan Silver $1 Dollar US Coin” using Advanced Search, Exact Words in Exact Order. https://www.ebay.com/itm/155947299652?hash=item244f2ef344:g:A58AAOSwQApleZUG&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwLrU2MTjLdFfaxyjj%2FuC1XZ%2BN7P7dlMedRgYJVBSejkFD1i1rlSQnEjc1VxVsw0F7AM3aBmRpP7oyHjQ5IMey4JaamppHVg1XClQiPVNutiKQoeXnNFpktPq%2Fm0aRnWQkUHkM2Ggk%2BbyXnkFf2W7eLChb%2Bk3%2FaigWix%2ByWiqC717mbi0CT3rNLQuURW8Ft%2BG%2BH35eycYxdaRAEPVYfNVYW3AqCHtOZQxrVrwAsAT5MIWb8LbyBbjgMnha73UHT7htw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4TLytKMYw

$65.00 includes shipping by first class mail padded envelope, or $70.00 shipped Priority Mail. US addresses only.

Apparently eBay is now using AI to ignore fraudulent listings. This “1894 Morgan Silver $1 Dollar US Coin” is listed for $29.99 or best offer, “More than 10 available” and free shipping from China. I saw this on ebay and reported it (twice) as being in violation of Federal law. This is the response I received: A decision was made on the listing you reported Hello Thanks again for reporting the listing(s) you found. What happened: We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made using automation or artificial intelligence.

Original Mint packaging included, minus the plastic capsules. $200.00 for the pair, includes Priority Mail shipping to US addresses. 1939 D/D Walking Liberty half dollar, NGC XF-45. These don’t come up for sale very often. $100.00, includes Priority Mail shipping to US addresses. 1942 DDR Walking Liberty half dollar, NGC MS-62. Also don’t see many of these. There is currently an NGC AU 53 on eBay at $175 and a PGGS MS 63 at $379. $225.00, includes Priority Mail shipping to US addresses.

It looks the coins in the photos are in PVC pages. If so, you should get them into non-PVC holders ASAP. PVC will pernanently damage your coins. This will not be a huge loss for circulated, common date Lincolns but could be disastrous if you start to get high grade coins.

“Because the #1 set should be worth looking at…..” Here’s another twist on that statement. Should a set that “(Includes varieties)” actually include at least some of the recognized varieties? My “Walking Liberty Half Dollar Set (Including Varieties)” was #1 for several years. It includes 16 of the originally recognized 17 varieties (NGC keeps adding more, and dropped one, so now it’s 15 of 22). My set is now #2, replaced by a set that includes ZERO of the 22 recognized varieties. That set consists of all of the regular issues in very high grades, which is certainly an impressive set, but does it really belong in the “Including Varieties” category? If you want to see examples of the varieties, the #1 set will only show you empty slots. Worth looking at?

Lincoln Coin Catalogue, produced by the Lincoln Coin Company of Elkhart, Indiana. No publication date but the latest date referenced in the catalogue is 1935, and based on the listed prices I would guess it was printed inthe late 1940’s or early1950’s. These are apparently their “buy” prices, and wouldn’t you like to get a few at these prices: - 1793 Half Cent - $2.00 - 1916-D Mercury dime - 50c - 1797 Half Dollar - $75.00 - 1804 Silver Dollar - $500.00 The publication is in fairly good condition (see photos) except for the back cover which is rough. Price is $20.00 including shipping by first class mail.

This is some kind of sick joke, right???

Chat board would be the appropriate place for this question. A photo of the reverse side would be essential to identify this as a strike-through or just a worn-out coin. The rims look too good for a heavily worn cent, but the date looks too clear for a strike-through. Maybe just someone’s attempt at mutilating a coin?

I I was.

I was expecting a registered mail USPS package from NGC - tracking showed it “out for delivery” that morning. We were leaving town the next morning so I REALLY needed to get that package. I was working in my garage, which faces the street, with both garage doors open and saw the mail carrier pull up to my mailbox. She left a pink slip (“attempted delivery, no one home”) and took off before I could get to the street, which meant I had to drive 12 miles each way to the post office after 4PM that afternoon to get it. Their response to my complaint was “yeah, some carriers are lazy and we can’t do anything about it.”

NGC will grade Redfield dollars and return them in the original holders, but most of the grades are lower than the Redfield holders would suggest. “Gem Uncirculated” would usually be considered MS-65 or better, but most Redfield “Gem Uncirculated” dollars get a 63 or 64 from NGC. Also, NGC does not guarantee the grade unless the coin is in an NGC holder (I think this applies to GSA dollars also). Run a search on “Redfield NGC” on ebay - you’ll find dozens of them.

Let’s expand this a bit. I’m also looking for a Type 1 and a Type 2 gold dollar, NGC MS-62 or better for the Type 1 and NGC AU for the Type 2. Also looking for a commemorative half dollar, either a Columbia or a Roanoke in NGC MS-64 or MS-65.

There has been no activity on this board for over a week, so I’ll see if I can get something going. I’m looking for three Morgan dollars, 1892-CC NGC XF-40, 1893-CC NGC VF-20, and 1894-P NGC F-12. Does anyone out there have decent examples of these for sale (not the overpriced and/or overgraded stuff that ebay is full of)? Message me if you have something.

This guy posts links to other people’s ebay listing every day or two. Ignore any posting from tompeter3 (I do) and you will avoid wasting your time.

You’re probably correct for $3000 - $4000 and up coins. Those are way out of my range; I only have maybe ten or so coins that would go over $1000 and I bought most of those long ago for much less than that. The CAC stickers I do have are mostly on MS 66+ and MS 67 coins. Interesting comment that they have been refunding (fees I assume) submissions that did not get the sticker.

I would certainly not assume that. Many (most?) collectors, like myself, don’t see any value in paying another fee plus postage both ways to have a fourth party confirm what I have already paid fees and postage both ways for a panel of third- party experts to evaluate.

I typically ignore eBay “list” prices as many (most) are very inflated. Actual completed eBay sales are a useful reference, but I still compare those to other sites like Heritage. And yes, it looks like cross-dealer listings are not uncommon on eBay to artificially inflate price expectations. I have a few coins I acquired several years ago with CAC stickers. I didn’t search them out, nor did I pay a premium for them but it looks like the game has changed.

One of those suspect 1894-“P” Morgans just re-appeared on ebay, listed by a different seller than the listing in January but the same photos as the January listing. Interestingly, both sellers are from Huntsville, Alabama. Bid is over $700 and ends Tuesday. Maybe the January buyer figured out it was fake and returned it?

I posted three apparently altered 1894 Morgan dollars on the Counterfeit Coins chat board back in January. I contacted all three sellers with my concerns, two did not respond and the third responded with “you don’t know what you’re looking at” and got verbally abusive when I responded to his response. I reported all three sellers to eBay, got no response from eBay and they allowed all three auctions to continue to completion. End result, in my opinion, three unsuspecting buyers paid $800+ each for altered Morgan dollars that are worth nothing more than melt value.
