@GDJMSP is right, of course. Gold tones. But, as long as you don't store it in your bathroom, anywhere that's comfortable for humans to sit for...
Definitely not. On a lesser coin (say, a common date Saint that otherwise would have graded MS65), maybe we'd be down close to melt value, but...
$135
Almost coin purchase over the internet is sight unseen. Unless you’ve seen the coin itself, it’s sight unseen. I don’t buy photos. That’s why...
I just noticed, in my previous post, where it says “X price guide,” it should have said “X times price guide.”
Sorry for the late reveal, but @Lehigh96 is the winner with a guess of $125. I actually paid $165. Here's the story: obviously, it was posted...
More guesses? Reveal in 6 hours... :)
Hmm. I'm a little disappointed with my MS64 sandpaper. You think CAC would sticker it? ;) Just kidding, I would never buy one of those.
I missed the party, but I would have called it MS-Don’t Care. Coins like this don’t trade based on grades or price guides.
Yeah, guess the raw price from 3 years ago. :) Hint to all guessers: it wasn’t $384k ;)
I agree 100% with everything you said here. In fact, I got a PM after posting the coin where another member was saying I could probably crack it...
Nicely toned coins in MS65 or better might be worth slabbing. Might.
I can add some pics later, but a few of my favorites are: 2001 France, Un Ultime Franc. Very modern, very French, very cool. 1988 US Olympic $5...
I’ve got one I can post in a bit. Meanwhile, can we talk about the lackluster premiums color toned SLQs bring? In my experience, anything nice...
I’m not sure I see a mint mark. There should be one. That, plus the surface appearance could be why they called it counterfeit. Are the weight and...
I’d also need to see the obverse, but I agree the reverse doesn’t look good. It has a cast look to it. I believe PCGS. Your pawn shop is only...
And the winner is.... @ddddd with a guess of $1250. Actual sale price: $1200.
I think you actually have a die adjustment strike. I’d consider sending it to PCGS if I were you.
Reveal coming in a little over an hour, so get your guesses in soon!
There’s nothing wrong with PCGS, NGC, ICG, ANACS, PCI, SEGS, etc., as long as you’re buying coins and not plastic. IMO, coins in any of those...
