What will be the high bid?

Saw that this NGC MS-68 1884 Liberty Seated Dime is a part of Teletrade's auction that starts on Sunday. I didn't even know that there were MS-68 Seated Dimes out there. Way out of my budget limits. Will be interesting to see what it goes for. It is a pretty coin though.

My wild guess will be $34,583.00

Any other guesses?

I suck at guessing so I'm just going to say over.

 

13,180

 

I dont know what it will sell for but it looks to have a die crack from the end of the left foot through CA in AMERICA???.....ff-topic:

 

Yup!

 

This appears to be either an F-107, F-109 or F-110 variety on the Seated Dime Varieties website. If it's an F-107, then its an R-4. Although, none of the varieties mention a die crack extending from the foot. Could be a die clash in front of the foot?

Interesting i have no idea, it was just an observation. Thanks for the thread and additional information.

 

F104 or F105 IMO i' all fire up laptop in a couple of hours when I get stopped.

 

$16,500.

In other words......................it won't sell.

 

Who the heck is walkin' around with that kind o' jing at the end of the weekend?

 

3 NGC MS68 sold for $8k, a PCGS sold for $17k many years ago, I doubt it will sell at that price. Price is set too high..

 

TexasJarHead, Now that I can see better than off my phone I'm convinced it's a F105

Vs the F107

Due to the fact that as Mr. Fortin puts it the "cud" at the bottom of the corn leaf is not yet developed and the die clashing by the E and elbow are visable. Thoughts?

 

And especially before the holidays.

 

More people than you can imagine.

 

Am I the only person who isn't impressed by this coin? Something just seems... off about it. Not worth the $ IMO

 

I still lean to the F-107. The date on the F-105 is a "slight downward slope", this coin appears to have the "downward slope" in the F-107. Also, the F-105 has die marks (clashing) next to the date. The F-107 doesn't, and neither does the coin being auctioned off.

I am new at this so I could be completely wrong.

 

$13,130

Never mind that, didn't realize they set the Starting Bid at $16,500

 

The PCGS coin being auctioned is a population of 1, so this is probably the same coin that sold for $17,000 many years ago. Wonder if the person selling it today is the same one that bought it for $17,000 the other time it was auctioned off.

 

I agree that it won't sell.

 

I believe it won't sell.
