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.

$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:

2021 two-piece silver eagle set, Type1 (Heraldic Eagle) and Type 2 (Eagle Landing). NGC First Releases Eagle 35th Anniversary label.  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.    

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???

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.

Again, I’m not seeing the point here. 

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.

It is very likely that collectors or dealers would send in expensive coins, less so coins with less of an incentive to get the green bean. 

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.

you can assume that those without the sticker at that grade have not passed with cac.

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 discovered this very same PCGS coin  w/same serial number is currently listed on a different dealers site on EBay for $7250  (APMEX)  Is it common practice to sell a coin another dealer has listed and try to make the extra green on the coin, in this case $1000? 

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.

Two more raw 1894-P (?) Morgans just sold on ebay in the last few days.  Maybe I’m looking too hard at the mintmark area, but both look like there is evidence of a ghostly “S” in the right position.  Sellers were asked about them, and in both cases said they looked legit and completed the auctions.

I am only considering buying a NGC or PCGS example, possibly an ANACS for crossover if it looks good and is priced right.  My searches pull up raw coins also, and this one looked too obvious to me.  18 bidders already with several days left to go, but the seller and the auction venue seem to have no hesitation about selling a fake.  

This is offered for sale as a 1894-P  Morgan dollar, which would be worth $1,000+ if genuine, but it looks to me like an “S” mintmark has been removed.  I asked the seller about it, his response was that I “have no idea what I’m talking about”.  What do you think?
