Ask is what sellers were asking on active eBay listings of certified coins, fixed-price only — not what a coin sold for, and not our valuation. With enough listings at a grade, it's the middle 50% of their asking prices; with only a few, each asking price is shown. A single listing is shown only when its seller has an established eBay account with strong feedback. Sample is the number of listings behind each figure. Grades shown without a designation are plain examples.
Links to eBay may earn us a commission. They never affect the prices shown.
