For sure, the spots won't get any smaller or less attractive. Pass.

Wow, long day,
For sure, the spots won't get any smaller or more attractive. Pass.

 

I like it, the spots don't bother me much on such a rare, toned coin.

 

"Double Die?"

 

I think any MS grading of this coin is extremely generous. A identical normal 1955 would be low AU at best.

 

So you are seeing significant wear on that coin?

 

I believe it last sold for $2600 in April 2011 (see below). It'll be interesting to see what price it ends at.

It sold for $2,104.95 including shipping.

 

Ouch...someone took a $500 hit on that one.

 

Not to mention it was on eBay since last year I think someone said...so it may have been a long, painful, drawn out loss?

 

Someone took a bigger hit than 500. Add in ebay final sales fees and probably paypal fee (~273 bucks) and the seller is left with around $1,831. Approximately 30% loss. Sounds right, welcome to the hobby ; )

 

I also agree that the grade is generous. I have put it at AU'ish also, probably got a bump for the color. Don't like the carbon garden either... 55DD's are still dropping in price and imo have further to go. I picked up a very nice AU58 some time ago in PCGS for around 1k and a bit of change. The new buyer of this coin will do well to sell at a push in his or her lifetime.

 

I have been watching an auction of a MS63RB. It sets at 2100ish now.

This one just closed at $3300 +30.95 shipping.

 

Surprise!

The coin never made it to the buyer. At over $600.00 loss I am not surprised as I have dealt with this guy before.

I see rubbing on the cheek, beard and lapel. And flattening around the ear.

 

OMG! Will this never die. It is back again - and at $4,000 again.

Lol, I saw that. I meant to bump this thread earlier when eBay said it was re-listed. Amazing!
