This one hurt, but it filled in the hole. Collection officially complete! Now, I have officially spent half of the money from the sale of my 1893s, and can take a breather from my buying spree. This was a satisfying way to officially say “goodbye” to the Morgan Key!
Nice! I think Kennedy stuff will explode one day. I'm collecting older silver in hopes. Nice gold piece!
He was a favorite. The people really loved this guy. Ultimately he was the one who said he wanted to send a man to the moon before the end of the decade. Even though he didn't live to see it, it happened....
I waited in line overnight in the streets of Chicago for two straight nights to buy that for $1170 and turn around and flip it for $3500. Bet you got it CHEAP!
I had the pleasure of two different 1893s coins for 12 years. To me, there really are more special coins, honestly. It is a key coin, but so overhyped, sometimes.
I bought one raw on eBay when gold was fairly low. It has a copper spot, but I'm not bothered by it. I was actually thinking of carrying it as a pocket piece -- what will the lowball grade be for a gold Kennedy? -- but I can't bring myself to do it, and the coins I have been carrying aren't showing much wear at all anyhow, so apparently I don't know how to do it correctly. It's a nice coin, and even with gold up, I'm not tempted to sell it. I'm still not sure I think of it as "a member of the Kennedy series", but I understand the reasoning of those who do. Congrats on the final piece!
I was there, and watched you guys on line. Nope, didn't buy one. I said I'd wait for it to drop to spot in 6 + months. Never got it.
A few people are overpaying, and most of the ones that aren’t are not moving at premium prices. It just is not that popular right now.
