Clap~ ClaP~ Clap~ Clap~ Bravoooo!

 

Dang I forgot it was tonight oh well maybe next time

 

Can someone lend me $ 2,699,995.00 I got a margin to cover

 

respect the nickel !

Actually I thought it would fetch more. Some of the super duper rich billionaire people in this world certainly could afford to blow at least a measley 5 million at it without the least concern.

 

It doesn't sound like much. Eliasberg's nickel
sold for 1.485 million and that was 17 years ago.

 

That was before Recession hit, and the economy has yet to fully recover

 

It doesn't appear that the recession affected
the 1794 dollar last month.

 

If your rich your rich recession or not. Like they say the rich get richer.

 

Meaning the POPULARITY of 1913 V Nickel is going down....NOT Good to INVEST on this 5 Nickels.. It is BORING to Look on the same designed from 1883 to 1912...Oh yes 1913 is just only 5 KNOWN.:smile

 

BILLIONAIRES is Not AFFECTED on it! Besides whoever bought that 1794 1$ Silver dollar. He/She Help the US GOV to collect taxes on Seller pocket. NOT BAD!

 

Sorry but even if I had that kind of money to blow it wouldn't be on a fantasy piece snuck out of the mint in the middle of the night. I would rather own legally struck coins. $10 million for the first silver dollar in the US? I can see that. A million for rarities like 1933 eagle? Maybe. I just don't like "coins" that were made illegally. I never understood why the US goes after 1933 double eagles so hard, when its POSSIBLE one might have left the mint legally, and not go after these things, when there is NO possibility they legally left the mint.

 

The Walton specimen is the ugly duckling of the 5. IIRC when it was rediscovered it only graded pr45 or 50 and over time has been upgrade.
Its over dipped and lifeless.

I actually thought it wouldn't sell or if it did it would at opening bid.

 

Give me your address, I have a few commas I'd like to send you. Just kidding man, you're right, the rich indeed do get richer.

 

These people live in my hometown... UNREAL. http://ourvalley.org/rare-nickel-owned-by-salemites-expected-to-bring-millions/

 

Missed it by that much. My bid was $2,699,999.99

 

Crazy. It might be a rare date with alot of history but deep down its still a v nickel

 

But the last time it sold it went for $5 million.

No the lowest graded coin is the McDermott specimen and it is the only one that actually shows wear. the Walton coin on the other hand is heavily hairlined, probably from an improper cleaning, though this is never mentioned.

 

I stand corrected, I mixed to 2 up I was thinking it was Walton that let people handle it at local shows and the bar.
