The San Antonio quarters were released to the public September 5th. Today in my Great Collections email there is a San Antonio quarter in a PCGS slab titled “Accidental Early Release”. The quarter is currently at $900.00..... In my mind if this were being auctioned September 1st that would be meaningful. But how would a coin with that kind of pedigree have any value at all post September 5th? What part of this am I missing?
The only thing special about the coin is the plastic. Crack it out, and you have a $5 coin. Collectors are best to avoid such coins.
Isn’t that the going rate for W quarters? Or is this just a regular quarter? If so, then it would only be worth $0.25.
I purchased a coin once from them once. Every Friday I get an email with their current auctions. I like looking at all the dream coin photos.
Should have done this to begin with. This is the coin. Just makes no sense to me that after September 5th there is anything special about this.
I can't understand what they could use to justify the attribute. There is no way to tell when it was encapsulated.
Precisely. Spend $900.00 today for a coin valued at five dollars in six months. There just has to be another piece to this puzzle.
https://coinweek.com/education/coin...-quarters-surprises-lucky-collector-and-pcgs/ Article about proof... Dont know, obviously agree that is pricey, and sounds dumb, but as you guys also know....1 of only 2 he has both... Wonder if he is willing to sell them... what is someone willing to pay ?
I saw an article on these several weeks ago...somewhere. If I recall correctly the owner found it in circulation and submitted it to PCGS before the scheduled release date. Not something I would want.
So there is some legitimacy to the coin. Still though, I cannot see any real value attached to an early release pedigree after the release date. Just don’t see any up side here.
"If I recall correctly the owner found it in circulation and submitted it to PCGS before the scheduled release date." More likely some worker liberated it from the mint before ..........
But is that meaningful in the future? I could see somebody finding a 1955 cent in December 1954. That would have been numismatic news in 1955. But would that have any meaning to a collector of wheat cents today?
