I like this one quite a lot - 1892CC Eagle. Really sweet coin from near the end of the Carson City Mint era.
Just got a similar email regarding backorders - moved from June to first and second week of August. I guess it's somewhat reassuring that they...
Populariity, yes - it is in the shape of a baseball, pretty cool. But unique? hard to say something of which there are 50,000 or 500,000 of is...
What was your order date for those? Thanks doug
FWIW, I'm beginning to agree with your basic analysis, Josh. Since it seems that many of the 50,000 or so Gold coins haven't been minted yet,...
I sold an 1885 AU 55 CC recently. The coin was posted here at one point. I believe I got about $600 for it - but you would have to deduct the...
Regarding private VS gov't sector. . You should see my phone bill. That's a private company and it isn't a monopoly anymore - it's outrageous...
Membership in CAC has requirements that not everyone can meet - which is fine I suppose. I'm not a member and I don't meet their qualifications...
Good question. I have a related question - I was looking at a rare 1842 gold eagle that has book values listed in the 10K range. Very few have...
I bought a really sweet 1851 gold dollar - AU 55 with CAC certification recently for under$300. Of course there isn't a heck of a lot of gold...
At $1000 oz I'd be looking at picking up full grade certified common date double eagles (anything over AU55 I suppose) for $1200 or less. Lately...
Interesting, I appreciate your take on it, as that's about the way I would assign value to it as a raw coin - VF20. Given that, my thinking is...
Here's some additional pics. Maybe I won't bother to send it in after all. However, I wonder about the picture problem. The small scratches you...
Question: is it possible that those relatively light "scratches" may have kept it from grading higher and that is the way the scratches were...
Thanks, we'll see. To me, the overall look is good, which is why I figured it was worth the cost of submitting - not much to lose and lots to...
I recently bought this coin raw and I submitted it to NGC today. Wanna take a guess as to whether it will grade? If so, what grade? I'll let you...
You got that. At least take the time to look up the year and issue before citing possible values. Geesh! Me thinks the response would have been...
For Carson City mintage, 1879 is a semi-key date. Duk
Great research! Thanks. Makes sense and is intuitively what I would have expected.
Well said, CamaroDMD. Ah ha. The slab and/or CAC certification has a value of it's own. Kind of like the certification from an art expert...
