$220

 

I'll shoot for the moon and say $350. (No, I am not a giant crustacean from the paleolithic era.)

 

Winner, it sold for $350 exactly.

 

Well, that was unexpected. I’ll post something a little later today when I have better access to my images.

Ok, something a little different this time. I bought these 3 as a set a few months ago, so they don't have individual prices per se. So, instead of trying to guess the individual prices, guess how much I paid for all 3.


PR67 RB


PR66 BN


PR67 BN

PCGS price guide is $20 for PR66 and $25 for PR67 (RD, because they don't even list RB or BN).

Normally, I wouldn't post TrueViews, but these are really accurate to the in hand look. All 3 coins have really nice mirror luster that you don't get to see, but that should go without saying for a PR66-67 grade.

 

$100

 

150

 

175

 

$125

 

$67.89

 

58.85
I like the red, white and Blue.

 

Any more guesses? Remember, you’re guessing the price I paid for the set, not individual coins.

I like the red, white and Blue.

x 3 so $176.55

 

Hmm. Y'all weren't even really close, unless you were trying to guess per coin. I paid $450 for the set. IMO, that was a strong price, but 1960s toned proof cents and nickels tend to trade in the $100-200 range apiece if they have nice color like these. Of the three, "white" is my favorite, because people I show it to always ask "Is that silver?"

I'm not sure how to call the winner. @Duke Kavanaugh was the only one who made it completely clear they were guessing the price of the entire set, and he would be the closest if I interpret everyone's guesses that way. But, @KSorbo would be the winner if we were guessing the price per coin of the set.

@KSorbo, I'll leave it up to the honor system if you want to claim victory, otherwise, @Duke Kavanaugh, you're up.

 

I really don't know what I was thinking, okay take two, this time with Lincolns instead of Jeffersons. I did a search on E-Bay completed listings and the range for these coins was $60-$90 each. Here is one of Greattoning auctions for a 1961 PR67RB Lincoln that realized $60 before S&H.



Had I not had Jeffersons on my mind, I probably would have guessed in the $200 range for all three coins.

 

I was thinking they were possible AT, so at $40 each I was being cautious I guess.
Apparently Jeffersons aren't as valuable as Lincolns to collectors.

 

If I saw the same sort of colors on an MS coin, I would be much more skeptical. But, proof coins do tone differently from MS coins, and, for some reason, proof cents and nickels from around the early 60's tend to have these kind of wild colors.

This one reminds me a lot of "red." But, TBH, I think "white" and "blue" really carry the set.

 

My guess was for all three, and I don’t have anything to post anyway.
