1796 B-4 Draped Bust Dollar -- Opinions??
Brian writes:
Hi, Everyone. I recently had a coin graded by ANACS for someone wanting advice. It came back F-12 Details, Cleaned. Here are the pics: http://home.comcast.net/~bhartman24/1796secondobv.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~bhartman24/1796secondrev.jpg The reason I had it graded was for selling purposes. How do you think it would do on Ebay? Or is Heritage a better choice? Any advice you could give me would be appreciated. I asked some people on the PCGS U.S. Coin Forum, and they sounded like Ebay would be an okay venue. What do you think it would go for? Been away at a show, Brian, so couldn't reply before this. No one in the replies seems to mention that the coin is cleaned, and although many early dollars have been cleaned, this cleaning is obvious enough so that it is unlikely that PCGS or NGC would certify it at all. Since an UNCLEANED F-12 (I agree with the detail grade) would sell for $2000-$2500, I would simply start bidding a $995 in a 7 day auction. It's typical retail would be about $1200, just under what an uncleaned VG would bring. You may do as well or better. Or, set a reserve of $995 which will cost you a $10 reserve fee on top of the eBay listing fee and start at $250. That will encourage bids, and you may get the type of activity that will bring a fair price. I would mention that the coin has been lightly cleaned and/or show the slab so stating that. If it does sell then eBay won't charge the $10 reserve fee, but if you relist it, the reserve fee is again imposed. Ira |
