Would you pay $ 4908.00 for this?

Well actually 59 bids were placed.... on what???? Oh yeah just an 1921 Canadian 5 cent silver in Vf. Details .
Keg words" DETAILS"...."melting pot"....words like "less than"..... ah no...
Just another numismatic key coin....thats history caused as an 2,582,495 mintage dwindled to less than 600 ,as the need for a larger 5 cent coin was needed ,that would last a long time, minted in a medal composition that would wear ,and wouldn't be hoarded by the population.
So how many of you were aware of the 1921 Canadian 5 cent silver detailed bringing such a tiddy sum?
This is just another brick in my write up,in next month, Error scope magazine.

Another prime example of a detailed coin brining moon money!

I appreciate the data to this thread. As it does fall in line with the article I was asked to write.
It's sort of food for thought about you, your collection, and choices we sometimes make.

 

With an estimated 300 surviving it an interesting coin. I think there are coins I would rather buy for the money but as a hole filer this is fine

 

Looks like its an ultra rare coin. But personally I wouldn't spend that much.

That's about half of all the money I'm holding. (not counting my collection)

 

This morning I've found another....on ebay at present 1921 PCGS Ef.~40 currently valued at $8591.40 U.S. $11,000 CAD

Now this specimen was in a slab and graded. Unlike the items talked about pryor were detail coins ....what this does give us is a clearer path... somewhat to an actual value. ....it gives what I call a target price ,a arrange of a few known prices paid , then round up or down to the price point that makes sense.

Now what makes sence is also what circumstances brings you to this purchase?
Do you happen to "know a guy" who perhasp has to sell at a loss,or just needs cash due to something unforseen.

To my liking I like to weight it all out, as all of us are going to find the answer, its the one that works for you.
