All things considered...it’s your field, gas and storm. You are corn rich, my friend...Spark

My wife lets me do my thing with the coins and she trust my judgement but she wants both to do with them until I die. At least that's what she says. Lol

 

...And the moment of epiphany arrives, where you realize you are now swimming in the deep waters along with the rest of us!...Spark

 

There are a bunch of PCGS graded ms64's on ebay right now for $3.99 plus shipping.

 

So with about $40+ shipping 2 ways that makes MS64's a steal for the buyer.
Not so much for the person who paid to have it graded and is trying to sell them.

 

I agree with every word but some might be misled.

If you're just looking for nice well-made '90-D quarters there are gobs of them still in 1990 mint sets. Rolls are hard to find and are usually ugly. But mint set '90-D's tend to have a lot of marking.

The market for clad is "stupid". There is almost no demand so even Gems that are scarce have very little value and the top ten or twenty sell for $100 to a few thousand. Finding these top grades is tough because they are rare in top grades.

I've long believed someone could clean up in the Gems but I'm a tired long now and am selling.

 

Hmmm, that does give me a little bit different attitude. I just thought that in order to get what the coin was worth it had to be graded. Obviously I was not right. Still learning but I do appreciate everyone's patience and advice. Thanks

 

The coin I have is in really good condition. I think it may even be graded higher than 64, maybe 66 or 67. The picture doesn't do any justice for it. I'm still haven't got the picture taken skill down yet either. But, last week at auction I'm pretty sure it was a 64 that sold for some astronautical number. Is there a way I can research those auctions and find out for myself?

 

Heritage Auctions has a database of sold lots. Plus the have decent pics of high grade coins, so you can get an idea of what the ultra high grades look like

 

Yes I was just there looking around. I think I'm gonna call it a night I gotta work in am.

It's a nice well made coin but there are flaws visible even in the picture. It appears to have light circulation wear as well.

Unless it was some kind of error I don't know why an MS-64 would sell at a large premium.

 

Alex...from your pictures, this posted coin is no way near 64.

On the obverse there are field abrasions and excessive contact marks, plus evident wear on the hair, forehead, cheek, jaw and neck. On the reverse the wear on the breast feathers is an automatic AU or less.

Do not send for grading. It is, in numismatic parlance, a spender...Spark

 

It's a "spender" only in the sense that it has little or no numismatic premium at this time. But of all the millions made only about two million pieces are nicer than it is. When I was young the '50-D nickel was all the rage and despite a higher than two million mintage it was worth about $250 in today's money.

I wouldn't keep it for an investment but it's a pretty coin and would fit nicely in a collection.
