nobody is buying these two coins from me from Kuwait Central Bank I have listed on ebay because nobody will tell me the value. I know what they are. The description is pasted in my ebay link.

Keep in mind that prices in Krause are retail. On E-Bay, you can expect to get maybe 80-85% of that on a good day, if the grade matches. So, your price is more than 4 times what it might sell for.

Other reasons why people do not bid:
- Pics are low res/fuzzy. Ideally, they should be at 5x zoom, natural lighting, multiple angles.
- You've virtually no feedback. Many buyers either ignore low feedback sellers completely or bid reduced amounts to reduce risk
- You're selling too much other junk (do you run a pawn shop?), so it's pretty obvious you don't specialize in coins. This brings into question your ability to recognize fake coins
- There is no Certificate of Authenticity which makes the lot even more questionable
- Most bidding happens in the last minute. Until then, you can only get a feel for the level of interest based on the number of views/watches

i don't like coins. this is definitely a hobby I don't want anything to do with. i just wanted to help out a friend who needs money & can't figure out how to get rid of the coins either, not knowing if they're worth anything, afraid of asking too much or too little.
Nice of you bluntly show you are using us to give you the answers like a coin ID service before you leave without a trace. 8)


$45 at a push, maybe $50 if you get lucky.

$75 is far too much, it is $15 higher than the catalogue price which is inflated anyway.

​looks like someone is a fan of the sarcasm cult. This cult we don't have a sense of humour, coins are the centre of the universe and we all gather together to sacrifice a virgin Mary coin twice a year to appease the god of coinage.

Seriously, the information you are seeking would cost you if you went to a coin dealer, at least pretend that you are not blatantly expecting something for nothing and that you might possibly show a sliver of gratitude.

ask google next time

​Don't forget to tell this member what happened the last time a cult member spoke of something other than coins...X-D
Dearest House of Ham,
No, I do not run a pawn shop.
I will NEVER sell coins again.
And that's why most people don't bother answering this type of questions.

ps: I saw your entire message before you edited it. Last piece of advice: if you've given up on trying to sell it yourself, take them to a local jeweler or a coin shop, if you have one nearby (tons of them in Florida). At least, you will get 90-95% of the price of silver.
