FA: 1793 Wreath Cent PCGS VF-30 S-10
This one is the Sheldon -10, not one of the far more common S-8 or S-9
horizontal stem varieties. Smooth hard planchet with a few of the planchet voids and hits on the obverse, not uncommon for all varieties of 1793 cents and half cents. Excellent medium brown color and one that many Type collectors and early copper fans would desire for their collections. See it at: http://cgi.ebay.com/1793-Wreath-Cent...mZ250270706829 Thanks. Ira |

Has it been found that coins rotate within them more readily than in the full-circumference inserts? James 'wiping drool from front of shirt' |

James 'wiping drool from front of shirt' Jim, The coin is held in that rubber-like ring, unlike the 4 tiny hard plastic nibs of the old rattler holders. Therefore, I think the orienation of the coin in the slab should remain as is. Ira |

Of course if it WAS REALLY an EF40, Irastein would have cracked it out and resubmitted it faster than a cat can wink its eye! Instead, he'll be content to attempt to bamboozle eBay bidders (although a check of Irastein's completed auctions indicates he ain't doin' so hot in that department!) |

Since VF is defined as VF-20, *a VF-30, once described as VF-XF, could be described as almost XF. It COULD be described as a piece from the Holy Grail or a remnant from the Roswell incident. Of course that wouldn't be factual either! |

I've noticed that starting prices or BINs that far exceed Greysheet prices tend to dramatically supress the pool of interested bidders, no matter what the price strata, type of coin or even the quality of a given coin. |

But it seems that there are always buyers at 2X, 3X, 4X, or moreX of Sheet, and the people spending the money are the ones defining the market, not the ones clinging to their obsolete price guides, figuring that "the market done me wrong."

But for the most part, the Greysheet seems like what most people buy and sell coins for, at at least in my world. are always buyers at 2X, 3X, 4X, or moreX of Sheet, and the people spending the money are the ones defining the market, not the ones clinging to their obsolete price guides, figuring that "the market done me wrong." James Then why do the great majority of coins priced in that manner just painfully cycle through the eBay process and eventually fall off the list with nary a bid? BTW, in my experience if you are in the habit of paying prices that "define the market" then in most cases you will be deeply financially buried in your coins for the distant forseeable future. |
