<p>[QUOTE=&quot;drbrummer, post: 3162761, member: 76441&quot;][USER=59677]@Burton Strauss III[/USER] Thanks for weighing in with an expert opinion. The most recent auction example of a circulated example just closed and was the following coin: <a href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/three-cent-silver/1868-3cs-au58-pcgs-secure/a/1278-3214.s?type=lot" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/three-cent-silver/1868-3cs-au58-pcgs-secure/a/1278-3214.s?type=lot" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/itm/three-cent-silver/1868-3cs-au58-pcgs-secure/a/1278-3214.s?type=lot</a></p><p><br /></p><p>At this point, I think that the &#039;outlier&#039; auction records are likely a more accurate representation of pricing since there are no exceptions to the higher prices since 2015.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just for fun, I took a glance at the NGC populations for all 1863-72 business strikes in the series. Some have zero coins assigned a &#039;star&#039; but the average is about 1 or 2 per date. Interestingly, my 1868 is the only circulated coin with a star grade. For me, this continues to add to the coolness factor (and rarity) of the coin. At the risk of taking the thread a bit off topic, I wonder how common circulated coins with a &#039;star&#039; actually are in general. Any input is very much appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
