Mister Ed Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 OK Gang......1850-C gold dollar, graded AU-50 by ANACS with scratched, cleaned and struck thru. The question is where is the best place to put this coin up for auction? I can go the E-Bay route easily enough but wonder if one of the coin services would be better - I've never dealt with any of them before and was hoping to get some good leads. Thanks; Mister Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Never, never, never do something like putting on it on the 'Bay before offering here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Nothing to lose by offering it here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostDutchman Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 being completely honest here how bad is the cleaning and the scratch?? on a high dollar coin like that it makes a world of difference... the big auction houses will take it but you can bet that there will be better examples for sale in the major auctions... which can hurt your chance of getting what you want...and if you dont sell it.. it still cost you money...

Brett Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 You could always have a contest here and give it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpnyc Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 For a rare piece like this, you'd be better off with a major auction house like Heritage. Try to get it into the FUN sale in January and you will do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Ed Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Here are the pics..before it went to ANACS I'm willing to entertain offers here - I took it to a local coin guy who offered me so at least I have a figure to start with. If anyone is really interested, e-mail me at ed@goodrow.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
