I truly think you are delusional on the coin you actually own to say the least. Two full dates...die crack..yeah we get it...You have at most a $1000 coin. The 10 million offer was fake. You should be happy with $1000.

 

This. Although, I'd trade my whole collection for any coin I found aesthetically pleasing worth more than $50. It's sad, but as a beginning collector, my entire collection is only worth about $40 including my junk silver. But alas, we've all got to start somewhere lol.

 

I wouldn't trade my collection for any single coin. Some of my coins are from my Dad's collection and have special memories for me. Others do too for different reasons. The objective of me collecting was never to amass a fortune or to own one glitzy "Hollywood" coin that's meaningless. Even my junk coins are important because I can look past the imperfections and see history and wonder where they've been and who's handled them during their long hard life. "Hollywood" hasn't seen anything but the inside of a bank vault...no romance there.

Why your coin is worth only of $ 950.00 First the seller Choose it that way. Second that 1985 is not a KEY DATE. Different Date is also Different value of a coin is also a different story behind that coin. Now I will give more example on same date of a coin like 1893 S Morgan Dollar with 100,000 Mintage. Elliabergs Coin is more valuable because of pedigree and a good ihgest grade. Your coin or link you shown here is NGC certfied againts Mr. Alan Hager who certified mine.
So in short you can not compare Apple to ORANGEs or BANANA.
Be Knowledgeable and open minded too. One more example 1922 No D of Lincoln Cent is very expensive error too..I do not really know why.. just only D is missing in this coin..Well this is the HOBBY of a KING they called it.

 

I listed the coin 12 Million. The Minimum bid is 10 Million. So if this coin reach to the original owner of this coin then he knows what to do.. I hope the wealthy family will keep his words....because I am now ready to sell this coin back to them after all the hardway and keeping this coin to be certified by the infamous grader in Numismatist World. If not I will keep it and let my family keep it and sell to the right buyer and the right price too plus the domaine name of this coin. Tha't all.

 

I would only buy an accugrade after examining the coin for myself and determining authenticyity. I personally have heard very little about Hager, but yet have known of NGC since the age of ten. I don't get why anyone would value hager over NGC.

 

1885 Trade Dollar
1870 3 dollar gold.
A Stella (in MS)

 

I know the intent of the op and asking about a one coin trade, but for the same amount as my collection, I would not want just one coin. I really really enjoy going through my variou sets. I may be looking at the Lincolns one night and the Jeffs the next.

 

My collection isn't worth enough to get what I would really want (which I'm not sure what it would be - interested in rare colonials), but for it's value now I could get a nice MS Saint-Gaudens. I've always wanted one. Just one. Maybe after I graduate college, I'll make a million dollars a year teaching History. lol.

 

I don't get why anyone would value hager over NGC.

Mr. Alan Hager is the one who invented it and introduced it to the market. His company name ACCUGRADE start on 1984 then followed by PCGS 1986 after paying 100K for his expertised and his patent. Then NGC start on 1987 the third slabbing coin. That's all.:thumb:

 

Not a US coin ... but the one coin I'd give up all for is the UK 1933 penny (only 7 minted, and only 2 in private collections).

 

An Eid Mar Denarius I would be tempted to trade my entire colelction for. Maybe not, since my collection is probably more valuable, but it would be the one single coin in the world I would be tempted with.

This is the thing, the money. To honestly answer your question, it would have to be an even exchange, since most everyone would trade a collection worth $5,000 for an 1804 silver dollar or 1933 double eagle. That is economic profit, and not really your question.

IF my collection was worth exactly as much as an Eid Mar, I would be sorely tempted. I would not be tempted by any other coin in the world if it was an even value exchange.

P.S. The question doesn't include my books, right? Making me trade my books and any deal is off.

 

1995 is not a key date either.In 1995 6,411,440,000 cents were minted, and 1,125,500,000 dimes
1985 had 5,648,489,887 cents minted,and 705,803,976.
So according to those figures, less mintage means less of a chance of an error being made. So if anything, that 1985 is probably rarer.

 

You can "choose" any price you want. The problem is finding a buyer. The date you have is actually less rare than that date of the auction I showed you. NHC is more trusted than this Accugrade company you used. I don't mean to insult you I just want you to realize what value you coin you actually own. Lastly I would only trade you my whole collection because my whole collection is worth less than $500 making that a financially savvy move on my part. I would immediately flip that coin and eBay for $800 and buy back the items I gave you. I'm sorry you don't have that rare and valuable coin. It is great you take pride in what you do have though! That is very important.

 

That would be tough. I guess I would say the $50 Pan-Pacific. Its a nice chunk of gold with a beautiful design to it.

It would be tempting to go for a Eid Mar Denarius as Chris mentioned or a high quality Caesar denarius or Aureus of Caligula on one side & Germanicus head on the other.

But honestly after their newness wore off I probably would grow bored of them & wish I had my current collection back. There is too many I love.

 

You all are funny...this thread started my day off with a smile : ) A 12 mil dollar coin sure would be nice though wouldn't it?

I would have to go for the 1913 Liberty Head.

 

Your kidding me right....??? First off, Accugrade is a no name grading company. Second, Ill buy you a house if it sells for 10 million dollars, third off, If the grader is "infamous" as you said, that means hes a bad guy and has the reputation of the worst kind and he is disegraceful. I wouldnt pay over $1000 dollars for your coin cuz I can get it for $900 off ebay graded by a FAMOUS WELL KNOWN TPG. Cheers!

 

I agree with this point, but it would not change my answer. Even if I had a collection at the equivalent value of an 1804 dollar I would still trade it because I like the coins and their history and would enjoy being a part of that history.

I would modify the original question to the following: If you could trade in your collection for an equivalent valued coin (so if your collection is small right now, think about what it could be at the value of the coin you would consider trading it for) what coin would it be and would you pull the trigger? Would you still do it with the added stipulation that this would be the only coin you could own? (You can't rebuild your collection after the trade, just one coin for the rest of your life)

I think I still would trade for an 1804 dollar even if it was the only coin I could ever own.

 

If I had to trade my entire collection (a few thousand coins, mostly common) of which only ~200 are really important to me, I wouldn't trade those 200 for a single coin if I was restricted to not being able to rebuild my collection.

To me, the joy is expanding my knowledge of coins and completing/improving my type set and half cent collections. Just being restricted to a single coin would not meet that need (although my heirs would be more happier if that one coin was an 1849 $20 double eagle or an 1857 half union:yes
