<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 24660541, member: 77639&quot;]Impressive bit of research.&nbsp; Thanks.&nbsp; But also impressive is how much money auction companies and TPGs have made on many of these coins. Take the 1881-S with the following sales history:</p><p><br /></p><p>GC (July 2017): 1,293.75</p><p>Legend (Oct 2017): 1,116.25</p><p>Legend (May 2019): 851.88</p><p>Legend: 1,204.38</p><p><br /></p><p>The above prices would have incurred more than 50% of the coin’s value in buyer’s premiums.&nbsp; Then there would have been shipping charges and possible seller’s fees.&nbsp; And of course, the coin has been to a TPG at least once.&nbsp; In my state (CA), each of those sales would have been taxed about 8% too.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin may not have increased in value for collectors in 5 years.&nbsp; But auction companies, transport companies and at least 1 TPG did very well by it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
