I understand the surprise some express by the $39k realized for the '63 PF70DCAM cent. But why is there no surprise expressed for the '16-S MS67 nickel that sold for $26,450 - the '25-S MS65 nickel that sold for $27,000 - the '23-S MS66 nickel that sold for $43,700 ? These coins all had mintages that were double or triple that of the '63 proof cent.
So I guess the next comment will be - yeah but only a few of them are still around. OK - let's assume 80% of the mintage of the nickels is gonzo. In the case of the '16-S that means 20% - or almost 3 million are still around.
So why no shock & surprise for this coin ?
