Well the closest was duke. I paid 10,250 for it from NEN a little over a year ago.

 

Winner winner chicken dinner!!

Actually just lucky guess again.

So Marauderrt10 would you go again as I like yours and I have nothing to post at this time?
If not Marauderrt10 then the floor is open but give him a chance to go if he wants.

 

Thanks duke! One more go

 

Wow I have not guess yet but whatever it is it's not enough.
That's a smoker!
One day I hope to have a handful of these patterns as they are sooo nice. But for now I'll just visit them in museums like the ANA ones.

 

oh boy,,, another for the google.... found one on stack's that sold for 11,500 in pcgs 65, but it was RB. Will add 40%'ish for the full Red, and say an even 15,000.

 

And to add to that, the one at Stack's was not a cameo. I am going to guess $18,500.

 

$17,750

 

14k

 

$18,000

 

$18,600

 

Good point... as far as eye appeal this one is miles ahead.

 

...but is that coin toned? It looks red to me, leading me to wonder why its on the Toning Premium thread. Is there a toning premium associated with this coin, or is this just a glorified show and tell?

 

Your welcome

 

So which photos are representative of the coin in hand? How much premium do you think any toning is driving? Its kind of hard to take rarely traded, esoteric coins and see how much toning is affecting the price, no?

Btw, thanks for the better pic.

 

the first set of pictures is how it looks straight on, not tilted. The second set is the coin diffused, or, tilted into the light to see the colors. I would say the color affected my decision greatly on purchasing the coin, as I could have easily have bought a RB example quite a bit cheaper.

 

well shane was the closest. paid 19.5 last january. take it away shane!!!!

 

There is an old german saying "sometimes the stupidist farmers grow the biggest potatoes", so by my count while I was snowed in on long island I counted the winners and I'm guessing better than everyone else with 8 correct . Excluding me from the count as an admittedly newbie luckie guesser, it's interesting that the pros here are, well, pros. Bahabully, rimscents, coinman, shane, leadfoot, lehigh, well done lads.

 

I know I was guessing low becuase I knew how much I could get the coins for in today's market and really wasn't looking at it from a buyers standpoint so I have adjusted how I am valuating coins in this thread since I am not dealing with flippers but rather folks that have a passion and emotional attachments to their coins so they tend to be willing to spend more

Ok now for a change of pace...


I bought this CWT directly from Rick Snow in December of 2005 and he hand delivered it to me at the FUN show in 2006. It was not an auction but was a direct buy from his website. At the time Rick told me it was the finest toned CWT he had seen in 20+ years.....to this day I haven't seen a nicer toned specimen.

 

I have no idea where to start on this. $250???
