Default FA: 1921-D Walking Liberty Half

I posted this one a couple days ago as "look what I found in scrap
silver bag".
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=8421463824

I asked Heritage Auctions if they wanted to sell it for me or do an
outright buy, and they declined but suggested that "you can get G4 money
for the coin." So... take a look if you're interested. I've been told
anything from AG-2 which seems low, to G-6 which seems high. I started
bidding at one dollar, no reserve. Hopefully it won't sell that low...

Thanks for looking, and if you buy, mention rcc and shipping and
insurance is on me.

I don't need the coin, but my hat is off to you for your honest grade and
description. Most sellers would try to hype it as a VG, and I know of a
couple who would call it Fine. I would nominate the walking liberty half as
one of the most grossly overgraded series in all of coindom.

Thank you. I don't go for the "L@@K", flashing red & blue text,
animated graphics, or long terms of sale and conditions. "if there's a
problem, I'll make it right". I don't sell lots of stuff but I don't
see any point in all the BS some people put in their listings.

I'm surprised that Ira is currently the high bidder, I didn't think this
would be Ira-worthy?

Most sellers would try to hype it as a VG, and I know of a
couple who would call it Fine. I would nominate the walking liberty half as
one of the most grossly overgraded series in all of coindom.


I've asked more than a few sellers if perhaps they have the wrong
pictures for the listing, because "your text says VF but the pictures
are VG at best". Oddly enough, nothing positive ever comes of such
questions.

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see where the bidding goes on this one.
I've been watching some of the other 21-D's and even the horrible ones
are going for more than I'd think. This isn't a duplicate for me, but
for whatever reason, this coin isn't bringing me any joy and I've got no
attachment to it. Which is strange because most of the coins, walkers
especially, once they go in the coin books they don't come out unless I
upgrade them. But either way, this one just doesn't "do it" for me,
whatever "it" is. It'll stay "coin money" of course.

I guess I could also have put up an offer to trade here for
something...interesting. Ah well, it has bids now so that's not an
option.

I still gotta call this an AG-3, given the scratches and pit on obverse,
the rim dings, and the detail. But, I'm sure many on ebaY would have
called a VG-8 without batting an eye. I would agree with Mr. Jaggers that
the WLH is 'one of the most grossly overgraded series in all of coindom'.
It's just awful!

I see that all the current bidders are RCC-folk, so I'll probably stay
away from this one. But, I'll put it on my Watch List. And, if it doesn't
get high enough for me near the end, I'll HAVE to make a bid of my own.
Not that I'm any competition for the likes of Ira or the other RCCers who
have already bid, but ya never know.

I appreciate your honesty in the description. You're a good egg, Dave!

Well, Heritage said go for G-4, or "for G4 money" more accurately. The
skirt lines & details on the wing, like I said, it's a tough one. But
I'm certainly providing clear enough pics.

I certainly wouldn't want to discourage anyone from bidding. This one
will be interesting to watch.

(shrug) I call things like I see them. That may have been obvious here
from time to time (VBG)

Yes, Dave, I believe it'll probably go for about G-4 money, too. For your
sake, I hope it goes for that, or even better! Good luck!

Yeah, you're not one to mince words, are ya? VBG I call it 'brutal
honesty' - and there's nothing wrong with that, as long as it's honesty,
and not intentionally hurtful for no reason.

I still say you're a good egg, no matter what image people might have of
you, when you get 'brutally honest'!

Keep up the good work in your selling tactics, and good luck on this
auction! I'll be watching!

OK, just got back from eBay.
Check out the crop of 21-D's that are out there and where they are. I
think I'm safe in my grading, which looks conservative in comparison.

Oh, I'm sure you ARE safe in your grading, in comparison to the other
ebaY sellers.

And, if the bidiots will pay G or VG money for the trash that's out
there, you stand to make a pretty good dollar for this one!

I don't know what it is about that date. I listed a 21-D a couple of weeks
ago which was borderline "horrible" due to a past cleaning + an obvious rim
ding (described in the listing) and you could have knocked me over with a
feather when I saw where the final bid ended up- $250 over greysheet ask.

Ah, what are the greysheet numbers for this beastie, please? Or is that
one of those "I can't tell you because terms of the subscription don't
let me" or something? Are folks allowed to sell their old ones?
