Why thank you, Mike, and I most certainly am not going to take the allotted 24 hours to make a selection:devil:

Below is a coin I bought fairly recently, an NGC/CAC PR66 Three Cent Silver. For purposes of this discussion and your guesses as to what I paid, I think that the sight-unseen bid was approximately $1800 when I acquired it.

The first person to guess within $50 of what I paid is the "winner" and gets to select the next coin to post. Let the guessing begin.

 

$1,425.00

 

$1900

 

Nice coin Mark, my guess is $2500. Which is somewhere between 1.25 and 1.50 X Bid, I no nothing about 3 cent pieces, so I don't know how toning affects price, but I went with a lower premium, because usually the higher the price of a coin the smaller the premiums are for toning.

 

I really know nothing about 3CN's, but knowing your penchant for supernice coins, I'll guess $3150.

$2,200 but I would pay more, it's breathtaking

 

Just looked again and wished I had guessed much higher

 

$1985.

 

$4125

 

I'm saying $1675.00

 

No winner yet.

 

Although the coin is attractive, nothing about it strikes me as that uncommon for the issue. Proof coins from this era are often found with this toning scheme and I imaging that the premium driven by the toning is minimal.

I guess $2,065

 

I'll up my guess to $1,540.00 Now I'm guessing what I did on the presumption you purchased this as a " Dealer " .

 

$1740.00 ?

 

$2700

 

I don't know if I should feel flattered, or deeply insulted, that more than one of you guessed I paid a price which was below the sight-unseen bid for the coin.

 

$2250 ??

 

$1925.87 ?

 

$3250
