Guess what’s for sale again ....

It’s the $130k Franklin!
Will it reach the same price? Go higher? Or lower? Will it even meet the reserve?

It is a beautiful coin. I love the toning. But, it is most likely over graded, and $130,000 for a Franklin? (Pauses to catch his breath).

 

Gorgeous color. Probably over graded. Only the crazy registry sets people will pay that crazy price.

 

Please let us know what the next price to will bring. Curious here.

 

I still am unable to wrap my mind around a six figure Franklin.... It just astounds me that a market exists for such a thing.

 

Fortunately I have no interest in colorfully toned coins.
That market has held on for several years, but I suspect it will collapse in the not too distant future.
I suspect the trigger will be people trying to sell them for more than they paid (which makes sense; why sell at a loss).
But when buyers won't be willing to pay that amount the "colorfully toned coins" market will be over.

 

I hope Laura chokes on that coin. LOL
It is the poster boy for gradeflation.

 

Those were the good ole' days. LOL
I was wondering when this coin would resurface.

 

A neutron microscope, wow! Too bad mine is in the shop!!

 

It would take more than a Franklin for me to consider investing in a single coin, even if I could afford it.

 

I offered 2,000 sheets of reusable 3/8" 4X8 plywood. Just some fastener holes, other than that, good stuff.

 

Don't think it will get close to 100k this time.

 

I am glad that I don’t suffer from the toned coin sickness.

 

I have a Franklin Half that I will swap you for them!

 

Well, I looked at it and saw there were no bids. So, I thought I would "start the bidding", just so I could say I bid on it. Then I saw that the starting bid was $50,000. While I know that would not meet the reserve, I'm not taking a chance on it. I don't even like toned coins, lol.

 

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!
No "My Starz is more oxidized than yurs is !!!"

 

I like toned coins.

 

I find them attractive, but that doesn't turn a $50 item into a $70,000 "wonder coin."

 

I agree with you on the price is crazy. I think it would be in the $400-500 range. The registry deep pocketed collectors drive the price that high.
