1921-D Walking Liberty at PCGS

I like that coin as a G-6. Strong for the grade! I'm still on the hunt for key walkers in that grade range, as I need about 9 for my set.:thumb:

Thank you RLM.

 

where did he say "f" all I see is "circulated"? Oh now I see, it is in the title! That Photograde book is really useful for these, it is a must get

 

That is a very hard coin to find at or near greysheet bid. I think that anyone who is into coins would scoop up a problem free example of this coin anywhere near bid. I would not apply that $250 price to the coin you have, it is definitely worth more than that.

I'd guess that this one at Heritage will go for more than $290

 

Hmmmmm... G-6... Now where have I heard that grade before?

 

IIRC that was the consensus of the forum

 

Not me, I overgraded it, IIRC.

 

As did I, IIRC. (lol, I had to look up what IIRC,If I Remember Correctly, meant).

 

I originally thought it would go VG-08 too. In comparing it to the link to the PCGS VG-08 I posted on the previous page that is being offered for $365, I think BNB's coin is more attractive overall. Bottom line though is that if he were trying to sell this coin to most dealers, they're going to be looking at the "G" column of the Greysheet and not the "VG" column (and definitely not the "F" column as the seller was dreaming). I would guess that if you had to sell this at a show you may even get a higher price offered outside of the slab as you could argue it's a VG coin.

In any event, BNB likes the coin and says he's keeping it. It is a nice example of a key date, and if you're happy with it then congrats again.

 

I'm not a dummy though, Mike, lol, I know better than to sell to a dealer because I would never get fair value on a coin like this.

 

Actually, to make a statement like the above, sounds like something a "dummy" would say. There are plenty of dealers who would pay "fair value". And to say "never" makes the comment especially preposterous.

 

Yeah, well I don't really plan on selling to any show dealers if that makes it more clear because I know what I'll get offered for this.

 

That's not what you wrote and you can't KNOW what you'd get offered.

 

Well, I'm just drawing from past experience.

 

Care to elaborate?

 

Perhaps, but that "past experience covers only a brief period of time and coins. And certainly not enough to make such a wide sweeping statement.

Edited to add: How many coins have you tried to sell and to how many different dealers? And how many of those coins were low grade PCGS rare date items like the Walker in question?

 

Monsieur Feld, seriously speaking, I just have an inclination on how most dealers like to operate when it comes to buying coins from the public. Rarely do I see them wanting to pay grey sheet ask and every show I've gone to out here in California, they've all offered me at MOST grey sheet bid.

 

In many cases, graysheet bid would be a fair offer. And your original comment which I took issue with, was that they would "never" offer a fair price.

There are a number of coins that I and other dealers would happily sell for less than graysheet bid. So the fact that we wouldn't pay graysheet ask (or bid) doesn't mean that our offers wouldn't be fair.

As just one example, I recently sold a nice looking PCGS MS65 classic coin for $1500, against a graysheet bid of $2000. But if I offered you $1500 for that coin, I get the feeling that you'd think I was trying to "steal" it.

I do give you credit for not throwing a hissy fit that I refereed to your original comment as one that a "dummy" would make. Your hide/skin has thickened.

 

Regardless of the holder, I still like that coin.
