Do Yourself a favor and high grade your halves

I just thought I'd look through a few rolls of walkers and dug out a few better quality ones.

This one was nothing special IMO and my description was very conservative.

I sold another one in AU for $28 :thumbup:

I saw the coin sold for 19. About how much will you receive after ebay/paypal and shipping? I have not been a seller on ebay simply because of the fees and I figure shipping (free) is going to erode any/most of the capital appreciation.

After shipping 1st class with DC and fees it will net a little over $14 (28X) fv. I will realize almost 100% net profit. These were in a junk lot. I've discovered 10 or 15 more similar and there going on the bay. Unless someone here want to buy them for 28X face.

I just don't think its that great a coin.

I cleaned out a house where the people died 15 years ago and no one dealt with it. The ceiling was collapsed and it was full of other treasures.

Grandpa's dentures is one of them. I might get 40 or 50 bucks for those. As it stands now I'm still happy.
