I find the description rather odd for this coin. I've never seen It described this way. "1996 $1 Silver Eagle MS70 NGC. A frosty example, this 1996 Silver Eagle has brilliant luster and a bold strike with snow white toning spots."
Love it. Where the devil did snow white enter the picture.........aw, shucks, forgive me, I ain't gonna 'Judge' on this one.....the picture portrayed is lacking.
Haha. Those are milk spots and a big negative. Guaranteed they weren't there when it was slabbed. He'll only get 69 money now or a little above just because Its in a 70 slab. So what he's doing is trying to still get 70 money for it from a newbie. It is cleaver, sort of.
Like a house I once looked at. The description said it was next to a nature preserve. It tuned out to be a swamp.
That is terrifying. However, I wouldn't think buying from Heritage, coupled with that much dough being shelled out, is indicative of a newbie falling for "toning spots." Maybe someone is looking to beef up their registry. Either way that coin isn't worth but about $50.
As I've read on these threads at least 1000 times, it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'll keep everyone posted as to the hammer price.
Probably. That's beyond what a registry guy would pay trying to get a good deal just to add a 70 at a discount. There's one with less milk spots on the bay right now for $3600 BIN
I haven't looked at mine for a couple of years. I guess I'm gonna have to dig it out and take a look.
Is it though? Some of those registry hawks will do anything for a label and some fictitious internet points. (On a related note, the craze over the whole "First Strike" or "Early Releases" baffles me). Does anybody here really believe that a newbie is simply getting taken out behind the shed? I've seen plenty of examples over the years of the young gun getting burned, but at over $3,000?! I'm thinking whoever is bidding knows what they're doing. They're stupid, but they know what they're doing.
