This flip didn't go well for this person. They paid $20,250 in 2025 and sold it for $11,000+ in 2026

    Looks like the buyer in the GC auction overpaid. And I think a lot was forgiven by the graders for that scratch on the head.

    Someone's going to be sleeping on the couch. :smuggrin:
    Bad investment planning I guess. What's the old gal valued at anyways?

    Maybe it gives the old gal some character?? But certainly not MS62. :facepalm:

    It’s one of those AU-58 coins that was graded MS-62. The big scratch made it less than choice.

    This breaks the myths that all coins bought from Great Collections and Stacks-Bowers can be sold for more at Heritage.

    Ouch. Lovely early gold coin, though.
