This was $49 w/Buyer's Fee.

CDN numbers are $120/155. I literally thought I was going paranoid when I saw the numbers for this coin and immediately went to bid on it.

And also, can't go wrong with $34 for a key date even in poor/fair details.

 

Nothing special. I already had one, but for $19. I didn't pass it up. 1865 3 cent nickel.

 

Mr Half Dime......can you educate me? No sarcasm whatsoever. How does anyone get a dime slabbed thinking it will economically benefit them? How much does ICG charge for grading a dime? I'm serious. I know you bought them that way, but original owner, WHY???

I do dumb stuff for Morgans, I'll get a common date graded just because......but a dime? Even weirder, a nickel or penny?

 

Chances are those 8 dimes were slabbed due to any of 3 reasons:

1 - A dealer may have been doing a bulk submission and could have included these since chances are really good that for a submission large enough, they received a significant discount.

2 - The person may have believed the coins were of a significantly higher grade than they were, or may have thought the dimes were worthy of a Full Bands grade. Some dimes from the 1970s, such as 1976 (P) can bring some huge money in full bands.

3 - These coins could have been part of a set of some sort, possibly something as off the wall as a year set or an entire Roosevelt dime run in MS64.

My guess is that since multi-coin auctions can go for some serious money on GC, these were likely consigned with hopes of bringing a much higher amount than $14. I won several ICG-graded lots on the same night, all for under $5 a slab.

I'm sure ICG is fond of whoever submitted these. I can't blame them, I'd be fond too.
