1937 D 3 leg buff NGC 61

We see so many of these uncertified I thot it would be nice to look at
one that was real. Wish it was mine.

I love those auctions where they put a high minimum and then proclaim "no
reserve." I guess everybody has their techniques.

This coin has a recent slab number. My guess would be that it was a
resubmission, not a newly slabbed coin. I hate it when they come back with a
"tweener," a grade like MS-61 that never appears in the price guides, because
buyers tend to go to the next lower price instead of the next higher price--at
least in my experience.

So Tom, given that the seller typically yields the lower price for an
in-between grades, you think he shouldn't have a minumum price to avoid what
could be a massive loss? Perhaps start at $1 and let the chips fall where they
may?

In the large national catalog auctions, there's often a reserve on any
signicant coin and on the majority of coins anyway, significant or not, even if
the bids start at a very low level. Ditto for Teletrade auctions.

I'm totally in the dark about how to tell from the slab number when a coin
was slabbed. Does one need a secret decoder ring, or what?

Ira, I'm all in favor of protecting yourself by having a high reserve. I
remember when I sold some nice coins on Teletrade, and neglected to put
minimums. They scheduled them on the same day as an ANA convention, and
everything at the auction sold for a fraction of its value. Oh, the pain!

It just seems to me that if you are using a high minimum to protect yourself,
el seller doesn't also need to proclaim "no reserve."

Tom

eBay doesn't charge any extra for including NR in the title, and that will tend
to produce more traffic to your auction site. That's why I use it.

When eBay had a small surcharge for a reserve, I would start much lower, which
I preferred, but when they started charging 1% for reserve, I simply started at
my absolute minimum and added the NR (No Reserve) notation. Gotta work around
their greed.
