Anyone have $220,000 laying around?

Beautiful coin - of course if I could afford that one, I would have the money to buy others to match it. Sweet - I always like it when my local shop lets me look at the special stuff like this.

I see chatter on the chin. Nice coin but overgraded and overpriced.

 

only if it is a gold bean

 

jealous?

yeah, so am I.

 

I think you're seeing things...or your eyes are playing tricks on you.

It may be overpriced, but it looks graded about right to me. There is no "chatter" on the chin -- look at the huge Heritage pics. How on earth do you think a proof of this caliber would get "chatter" -- isn't that a term used to describe bag marks and signs of circulation? lol

 

Not in the least.

 

What Heritage pics? I see pics through cellophane from the OP. Am I seeing things on the plastic or reflections? There appear to be marks. As for the chatter part, these were sold in cardboard boxes with cotton. I can't say for sure about the gold coins, but when you ordered all of the silver, copper, and nickel coins, it is my understanding that these were sent together. Improper storage can lead to contact marks. Contact marks = chatter.

P.S. Based on the OP's original image, I would have guessed PF67+ DCAM/UCAM. It is still a nice coin and a beautiful one at that. But that doesn't change anything I said. I would value it closer to $125,000-$135,000 based on my personal grade for it.

From the ANA grading guide:

 

And this is the OP's picture enlarged. I see at least two ticks in the field, two ticks on the cheek, and something on the chin. Granted it is only minor and my photos exaggerate it because of the size, but I wouldn't call it PF69 if the original photos are accurate. I am also curious about the striation on the devices - probably from die work, but I would like to see it in hand (which will obviously never happen).

 

Read the whole thread. The Heritage pics were posted in the first page about 7-8 posts down.

I still think you are seeing things but arguing is pointless based on cellphone pics behind cellophane and an NGC holder as posted in the first thread.

 

Actually they were Goldberg pics.

 

Fair enough.

 

so, you really see chatter?

I have a good eye doc.

 

take an IOU ... ? =0)

that is a really nice example there ..

 

Eyeliner.

 

What coin shop?

 

I shall never divulge the source of my coins! (Although I will facilitate your purchase of this one for a small fee.)

 

Hold on while I get my ex-wife's checkbook!

 

only $220,000 .. that's a bargain NGS says its worth $275,000 only one graded !!!

 

I want the million dollar coin ...
The Million Dollar Coin – a true milestone in minting

​

Incredible, but true: in 2007 the Royal Canadian Mint produced the world's first million dollar coin. The 100 kg, 99999 pure gold bullion coin with a $1 million face value was originally conceived as a unique showpiece to promote the Mint's new line of 99999 pure 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf bullion coins. After several interested buyers came forward, the Mint decided to make a very limited quantity available for sale. To date, five of these majestic gold bullion coins, weighing 3,215 troy ounces each, have been purchased by investors from Canada and abroad.
In October 2007, the Million Dollar Coin was certified by Guinness World Records to be the world's largest gold coin. The coins are manufactured at the Mint's Ottawa facility, where the Mint operates world-class gold and silver refineries, securely stores gold bullion and mints all Royal Canadian Mint gold bullion products and collector coins.
The reverse features an elegant, hand-polished maple leaf design by Royal Canadian Mint artist and senior engraver Stan Witten, and the obverse bears the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by celebrated Canadian portrait artist Susanna Blunt.
Why did the Royal Canadian Mint make the world's purest and largest gold bullion coin? Because we can.
