i just got my first major coin purchase at the BAltimore coin show today it was a 1864 Pf 64 3 cent nickel i got it for 350 and it has no noticable haze or scuffs and its prety sharp and greysheet lists at 380 so i think i did good ALso i traded in my 20th aniversary silver Pf set for 290 so i didnt have to pay the full price for th proof i also got a 1944 D merc ms66FB for $47 and the luster is really great i feel like i did ok what do you guys think based on the grades and both are graded by NGC
Well unless I am looking at my monthly price guide wrong I have a 1864 pf at grade 64 coming in at around $1200.00 and the 44-d coming in at $51.00 I am at a lose for words. Bruce
Someone fill me in. My red book says they did not make any nickel 3 cent pieces until 1865. What am I missing?
Are you talking about this? I think that is what they are talking about rlm. Awesome buys! Do you have any pics? Phoenix
I thought they were the same? I don't know, you are probably right, but I thougt they were the same coin, two different names. I did an auction search Jako, and found this. Also to answer your question Bruce, I didn't come out as quite as much, a Pr64 graded by PCGS was sold for I get anywhere form $600-$1000. So you are not that far off. :thumb: Phoenix
Hi Rlm's. He also said PR 64 and that would make it a silver issue coin and if I am wrong I will be more then happy to apologize to all. Bruce.
From 1851-1873 there were silver 3 cent pieces... http://www.coinfacts.com/three_cents/three_cents_silver/three_cents_silver_by_date.html starting in 1865 & going until 1889 there was also a nickel three cent piece with a different design than the silver... http://www.coinfacts.com/three_cents/three_cents_nickel/three_cents_nickel_by_date.html Any 1864 three cent piece (proof or not) would be silver, not nickel.
Okay, thanks. Jako, did you mean to put 3 cent silver piece? I'm sorry if I got anone upset. Thanks for the info Anemic. Phoenix
wow sorry for all the confusion i didnt get that good i deal i actully made a type 1874 nickel 3center actully a very nice dealer who i was taking too said its a very good coin and could be resubmitted and bumpedup a grade making it worth 550 but sinc i like the coin and not una sell it ill probly not resumbit it itsnice dealers are alwats nice to you if you are a YN which i am and yes bruce i did get the dime at a good price of 47 after all i am a little kid
by the way did anyone else here go to the baltimore show and for the pics i really stink at taking pics of coins so ill try and post them later but they wont be good photos probly
That makes more sense Now everything looks in line. FYI: the last sale at Heritage 1874 3CN PR64 NGC went for $402 (2-19-07). You did not do too bad particularly if you can get a 65 out of it.
