    Can someone give me an idea on the grade of this coin if I were to send it to PCGS. Under the magnifying glass I noticed a small nick on the knee and a spot above the "D" in GOD.

    Hello...Nice coin..I have the 1/4 oz as well as the 1/1o oz both in MS 68....if your pics had more light and closer focus..I might be able to help you. Wondering where you bought that from? (Dealer) Those should be going for ~$500 now...

    By the way, if you guys think people are paying too much for the coins, where would you recommend to purchase coins for a fair price. Websites, coinshows, etc.

    There wasn't a single one of these sold in the last three weeks that was raw and there are no current autions for raw coins either. There was one in an ICG69 slab that went just over $1000 and there were 3 that were in ICG70 plastic that sold for $2200-$2800 in the last 3 weeks, but yours isn't a comprable grade since according to your other post it has a "tiny spot on [the] back and [a] small nick on [the] knee of lady [Liberty]." Bullion coins (even error ones) are graded rather strictly since they tend to be very well made, so even a few flaws can damage the coins grade.

    Yes, but I have also seen a great many of them sell for under $500, both slabbed and raw. You can't base the value of a given coin on the highest price ever received for it - you have to base the value on the average of all recent sales.

    There will always be someone out there who is willing to pay more than the going rate for any coin - it depends on how badly they want it and how much they can afford to spend. Too some people $500 is nothing - to others $5 is a lot.
