I've seen this coin in person, think it's real and I think it's spectacular...out of my price range...
Old dogs really cant learn new tricks. That's because we've probably already smelt it before and I'm done sniffing here. Happy Collecting!
I was going to ask jrr888 where he saw it. Since he is a dealer, I was wondering if he was asked to look at it for an opinion or appraisal. I was guessing that he met the owner at a trade show or something. jrr888 are you still out there?
This coin wandered into the store recently and I was asked to look at it and give my opinion. I'm not a morgan expert but did some research over the last few weeks and from what I can tell it looks pretty good. I've lost some money on fakes in the past and usually only learn the hard way. Interested to see what the verdict is on this one.
I apologize if I upset you. I, since the beginning of this thread knew not whether what you have is genuine or fake and have been eager to hear of the results, Nor did I ever hint that if it is genuine that it isn't worth money. If genuine I believe it is worth plenty of money, but plenty to me would be considered the same as that key dates value is already, maybe slightly more or less. My only point was not to start getting crazy illusions of grandeur far beyond what it would reasonably on the market be worth. Would it still not be great if it is real and it is worth hundreds or maybe even over a thousand dollars? My only point was not to start hyping it to levels of tens of thousands of dollars or gazillions with out analyzing the reality of the situation. Any way, long story short, I apologize for upsetting you and would be very interested to know the outcome, whether from you or in a magazine ( but preferably from you as a member here )
I will PM you an offer, soon as I hit the lottery. But seriously, that is fantastic news, congratulations! What does the 'min grade' mean?
Just curious after reading all of this thread..does someone here per s 'slabbed coin' to someone else? Congratulations Guntownguy. I bet everyone will be interested to hear how 'the rest of the story' goes. Lucyray
Wow! i thought the odds were against you, but you've got the last laugh now! what does MIN GRADE mean?
I've got code 92 "cleaned" coins back in a slab before, what's with the body bag? You might want to send this off to NGC, maybe they will want their name on it. PCGS makes me wonder sometimes...how much did it cost to have that put in the vinyl flip? Maybe send it to ANACS?
