Dreaming in Michigan

I've been watching this auction all week, just watching and not bidding. I need one of these, but a proof 65 is too rich for my blood. It's due to end in about 10 minutes. Can't wait to see how high it goes.

This coin is a bit of an exception for eBay. Great eye appeal, and CAC stickered.

Enjoy:

Sold for $2,800 just under half of the Numismedia value. Somebody got a deal. And here I sit working to replenish my coin budget. :headbang:

 

Well it is not what I expected a proof to look like - especially after looking at the ones on heritage. Almost looks like a business strike, but it is just the pictures. Looks much nicer on heritage where in may it sold for 2960.

 

Yea, that's why I expected it to go for well over $3k.. Another example where a top notch picture would have resulted in higher bids.

 

Where are you getting you values from? Their website lists it as $3,470 retail and $2,775 wholesale.

 

I see 1873 Op3 PF65BN listed with a FMV of $3970 w/ no value for CAC

What website for Numismedia FMV were you looking at?

 

Sorry, for some reason I was looking at the closed 3. But, HEY! That SAME coin sold on Heritage for $2990 in May CAC et al - http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1125&Lot_No=240. Maybe someone is trying to tell you something.

 

Hey I can hope it comes up again, at a even lower price, when I have the money. A guy can dream can't he LOL

Darn shame though, it would have moved me into 5th place.

 

I agree - better pictures and that would have topped 3k on ebay.

 

I knew it was nicer than the eBay seller's pics, from the Heritage sale earlier this year. I'll probably be whining about missing that one for a while. :crying: Just ignore me.
