I think there are quite a few expensive coins that look similar to that.

 

PF-65 or maybe 66BN.

 

You are not seeing what I am seeing so apparently it is your picture rather than the coin. It looks like it has 2 rims from 2:30 to 4:30.

 

Here is a link that explains it all. The coin doesn't have a second rim. It is just the outside edge of the rim that has a knife edge.

This is my best cherrypick so far off of ebay. Listed as an UNC 1914 Lincoln Cent. I paid a little over $200 for it. I think it will be in the neighborhood of around $1300 when it is back from the graders. Even if it only grades GENUINE it should be worth around $800 to $1000

 

there is a risk though, the seller is selling mostly certified coins, wonder why that one wasn't submitted. looks like you were willing to bid higher angainst another bidder. your photos are much better than the originals. good luck!

 

There is always a risk, but a risk worth taking especially with paypal buyer protection.

 

That is the most beautiful wheatie I have ever seen!! I WANT!!!!

 

arrrrrrrgh POOF grading standards? who knows? 65 due to the spots? Is there an old bullseye like tone on the reverse? I'll put a few bucks that says it comes back 91 - Question a little off topic. Wouldn't there be a market for coins certified and slabbed as authentic. I have some PCGS slabs like that... however they are well circulated coins..

What I am trying to get at is that some coins it doesn't matter to me or others what the grade says on the label... - taking the idea of buying the coin not the label a step farther.

For example if you suspect that a coin might get genuined, why chance it with establishing a negative code to the coin, why not just ask for an authentication and subsequent slabbing.

Any of you old timers ever had discussions along that line???

Deals are there all the time.. While a lot of them are money lost, the home runs have been grand slams.

 

Dude I hope your right

 

I agree with you....I don't even know If this coin will be for sale. It was a numismatic accomplishment for me so a 91 wouldn't hurt my feelings.
