<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1396407, member: 23626&quot;]Not only rarer, but damn scarce ! I tried to research the numbers a year ago. I went through every forum and contacted everyone who knew of someone with one. I could only find 11 coins. 4 of which had been certified by ANACS and the MS64 certified by ICG. The next edition of the CPG will feature it and at that point, PCGS and NGT are supposed to start certifying them also. I could find only one that the owner said he would sell. He said is was worth 10k to him and it was a raw specimen. He stated it would grade at AU58+ ? Currently, I could find only 3 people who had certified coins. One collector has 4, I have 1 and the MS64 is featured on the LCR. I believe that coin could at some point be valued at around 35k, perhaps more. That being from conversations with dealers who have sold rare cents at auctions, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the AU58+ coins, pop 3 ANACS are worth 3-5k right now, providing you could find someone willing to sell one for that. I am not. And the collector with the others is an individual who has no need to part with any of his collection. Unless you find one yourself, be prepared to pick one up from somebody&#039;s estate sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, people will say what they THINK our coin is worth. But unless you have one to sell, it&#039;s ridiculous to speculate on what you think others should part with theirs for. lol I mean, if none are for sale, they are worth zero, right ?</p><p><br /></p><p>In short, until a buyer meets an agreement with a willing seller, no value can be established. 18 months or so a specimen was sold on eBay for $485. However, the coin was returned and the sale negated. The coin was graded by PCGS and the variety not specified. I cannot say what became of that specimen, but it hasn;t resurfaced for sale to my knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just saying that at some point a real value will be established.............maybe ? We&#039;ll just have to wait and see.</p><p><br /></p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
