Hello all, and good afternoon!  Today I had a major numismatic success that I just HAD to share with you all.  As some of you know, I mainly stay away from purchasing coins off of eBay, but covid has made new numismatic acquisitions nearly impossible for me. Today I was scrolling eBay for pre-NGC graded coins that I can reference with the NGC price guide to potentially resell and gain profit to later spend on future numismatic purchases.  A certain 1964 dime caught my eye that the NGC graded at PFCA 69.  I saw the sellers asking price, and nearly fell out of my chair.  He wanted about $40 for the coin, but I could swear it was worth well over $100.  I checked the price guide, and sure enough, NGC valued the coin at $140.  I instantly checked to make sure the seller accepted returns, and read through his customer feedback.  It all came back clear, and I bought the coin.  I anxiously await its arrival so I can make sure everything is legit.  Perhaps he meant to set it at auction, or maybe left out a digit?  haha!  Thank you all for reading!  Cheers, NM

That's cool... what are you basing the price on? Grey sheet, blue sheet or pcgs?

NGC's price guide.

PCGS is a bit too liberal with their grading for me.  I tend to stick with NGC for most everything.

Not to rain on your parade, but if you were to resell it on ebay it won't make much profit. I found multiple other listings on ebay of the same coin and grade that are being offered at $50. NGC tends to overprice coins, so I usually check what they are selling for on ebay. Dealers usually buy coins based off of the PCGS price guide, so that might be worth a look. Either way, a great coin!

Nice find!

I think you are mistaken.  I just checked eBay, and only found one other identical coin.  It was listed at $170.  Keep in mind, it is a Cameo Proof, and the only 1964 proof coins im seeing for $50 are not.  Thanks for the info!
