Title says RARE..BE AWARE!! sara3071 Views 29 Like 29 Likes Comments Comment Like if this guide is helpful Please sign in to like this Guide. Share 28 September 2008 As an established Coin collector and seller on ebay, it does irritate me seeing other peoples` listings, whereby they describe very common Irish coins as "RARE" Just because the seller states "RARE" in the title, doesnt mean it is actually rare.....often enough these sellers use the word "rare" to coax new collectors,and buyers with little knowledge of Irish coins into buying them.....at at silly prices. For you, the buyer, there are some things you https://www.boards.ie/b/thread/2057203049 MUST do BEFORE YOU BID if your knowledge is limited..... 1. Search for other coins of the same denomination, date and condition on ebay, and see what they are currently going for........ ---for example --- A 1928 irish penny in average grade is very common, and not rare at all......as 9 MILLION were made! A 1928 Irish Penny in GEM UNC RED....could be described as rare, as its harder to find this coin in this condition. http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/never-bought-irish-coins-Title-says-RARE-BE-AWARE-/10000000008828857/g.html 2. Do some research, find out how many of these coins were made, by checking out the irishcoinage website, which also gives a "rough" idea of the value....NOTE...this is not the EXACT value of the coins, its merly a figure to go by....ebay market values differ alot compared to the rough value listed on the irishcoins website....some going for more on ebay and some going for less.....it all depends who is bidding, how many people are looking for that coin, at that particular time etc. BUT...I do find the irishcoins website to be very informative for those who have little knowledge of irish coins. MY TIPS for when you are looking for that special Irish Coin : Dont just rush in and bid, just because the word "rare" is used....it takes less than a minute to study the picture.......if the picture is NOT clear, then run a mile!! If there is NO picture.....run a mile !! Generally, I personally would consider a coin with a mintage of less than 950,000 "scarce" if in average condition (average condition would be F-VF to me) If the mintage is less than 950k, then pay attention to the type of coin it is (florin, penny, shilling etc), the date, and the condition (should be clear enough to be able to judge). use the irishcoinage website to help you with the condition
