I have a 2014 baseball Hall of Fame Clad Half Dollar with the original OGP was wondering what it’s worth.It has the Lou Gehrig Authorized Facsimile.
No, maybe put it on eBay. Most people on here purchase the coins, and just think of the slab labels as gimmicks.
So a happy surprise. I have purchased gold American Eagles and gotten them in MS69 slabs at no premium. You should be able to see what a Lou Gehrig "signature" BHOF half has sold for on eBay for a reference.
You just pointed out something I've been wondering about for quite a while now, and by that I mean not just on this site but throughout the numismatic world in general.
Some of the real autographed labels are a value adder, with the facsimiles NGC used the premium is minimal and none on the ones that PCGS has real signatures for. 25 sounds about right 30 possibly.
Just out of curiosity, how did the OGP end up coming with a slabbed coin, or are the coin and the OGP from two different sources?
When they shipped the coin to NGC I think they either ask for the packaging back or took it out before they sent it to NGC.
Question: I can of course understand that authentic autographs can be valuable and/or function as a value-adder when employed in some sort of ancillary manner, but I'm not at all sure if I comprehend how a facsimile of an autograph can be used for that same purpose in anything even near the same way. How is this even possible?
Now if it had had an actual Lou Gehrig "wet" signature, then you'd have something - a direct connection to a guy with a time machine.
I wasn't implying the slabbers should somehow procure actual celebrity signatures, but rather that I didn't see the purpose of "naming" something so very extraneously with the idea in mind that this will somehow make a difference to the buyer. But, and this is one of the things that makes humans so delightfully unique, each to his/her own.
The facsimiles aren't that's why a couple bucks at best where some of the real ones can be a major difference.
