Title: [WTS] Check How Much This Sells for on eBay

Its a 1970-D Error Quarter struck on Dime Stock (it is very thin). I know this coin would receive a grade of either AU 55 or AU 53, because I have sent a couple in in the past and this one looks on par with the one that got the AU 55 grade. I'm asking 1BTC.

There's one of the same year available for $350, but it's graded. There's also an ungraded one labeled BU for $88, but it doesn't appear to be professionally graded. According to a numismatic forum, one in EF-45 is worth about $15. Many of the ones on eBay are either buy it now, or have no bids. It seems like this one could sell for about $60-70 ungraded, a bit more graded. Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for.

I actually have a number of these. I am an NGC member, and I had 2 graded. They were graded AU 55 and AU 53 (solid grades, means "About Uncirculated" they only thing above it is MS or PS, which are both completely uncirculated). I put both of em on sale for eBay and undercut what everyone had theirs priced for ($350 is ridiculous). AU 53 I priced at 99.99 and AU 55 was 104.99, and both sold within 2 weeks.
NGC and PCGS require membership to grade. If you bought the coin and wanted it graded, you could pay me a little more and I'd have it sent to get graded (costs about $35). Or, you can go through ANACs. You don't need a member to submit coins there. I STRONGLY advise against using any grading service other than NGC, PGCS or ANACs. There are cheaper ones out there, but they hold no stake in the numismatic community.

In my experience, looking at what people WANT for something gets you nowhere. I always just look at completed listings on eBay to gauge the value of something:

So even considering that, you don't think one of these is worth 1 BTC?
Also, note that there are a lot of coins on that page with some "error" but not this one (printed on 10C stock).

Those are one of the more common ones I think I read the other day actually that they go for around $10 - $15.
