I don't think it could get an MS-66. MS-65 it would be weak for the grade but I could see that sticking. But not 66.
Gold is getting hit as the 10-year Treasury bond decisively crosses 4%. We're at 4.12% as I type this. Some people are saying we could be headed...
This coin is apparently NOT a member of the WF Hoard.
It seems logical. Anonymity is often sought by these collectors because they tend to be private AND if they are on the hunt for more trophy coins...

The thing was that 2015-2019 was 5+ years after a spike to $45 an ounce. So you had YEARS of FALLING prices and lack of demand/interest in...

Do you know something about backlogs....volumes....wait times....now vs. 3 or 4 or 5 years ago....that would mirror what we have seen with...
Thanks IM...your expertise is always appreciated. I was lucky as I think I got it the last day of FUN 2020 or late-Saturday...got a good price, I...
My 1915-S has black specks which do NOT appear to be part of the coin, like little black pepper flakes. But I got a good price on it and it's...
