I am most likely gonna wait till others have a chance to chime in. @JCro57 @paddyman98 I hope that @Fred Weinberg gets his two cents in.
I think he's on the "no fly" list and is taking a boat. LOL His wife wouldn't let him take his metal detector, so she probably also is restricting his coin activities. LOL
The coin is from the p98 collection, detector find, back when he was Irish ...p98 inflight on private jet to denver...!
This coin is from the p98 collection found while detecting st. Mary's back when he was irish....on private jet now inflight to denver..!
He was a small dealer I believe from Wyoming/ maybe Utah. He had a couple errors. had a 1919 ms66 red Lincoln.Centered broad strike Wanted 450 for it. That is grey sheet not including the Error.
When I started collecting, the coin magazines were full of stories (including cover stories) about errors. That was over fifty years ago. I don't see them getting disproportionate attention today, but that's probably because I don't spend a lot of time on YouTube.
I'm in your camp @lordmarcovan and answered the poll based on what I would be willing to pay ($400 to $1k range and closer to the lower end of that range). However, I'm almost certain the asking price was closer to $3k. That's probably on the high side but the right buyer may pay up (and I'd think it could easily go over $1k in auction). Monster toned Morgans dropping would be a huge surprise to me. I follow many auctions and prices are increasing. Each of the last three years the average results keep getting stronger (there are some outliers that fall through the cracks but that is not the general state of the market). Even low end Morgans are up as generic Morgan prices have been pushed up by the general increase in the coin market since 2020.
I dunno. Its almost "too much". I chose $400-$1000. I'd want it cheaper but I could see it selling in that range. But the question is "whats the price tag?" And I'd need to guess the price tag is probably the top end $2400-$3000.... it's a cent. So I don't see it getting way up there, but its a pretty rare effort to get out of the mint, so I also know when it's one of a kind, a lot of folks will set some absurd number on it and not in a rush to actually sell.
Maybe it was the show, I am not sure. Most of the coins I saw were toned, It also seemed that they were better priced than what I was used to seeing, I may not have been going to shows, for the past couple of years, but I still hit the coin shops across the metro. Maybe it was to get sales and make a buck... just giving you what I saw. I made out with more nice coins than usual for under $200 bucks.
