<p>[QUOTE=&quot;totally, post: 2491251, member: 80371&quot;]Maybe I should have specified to avoid confusion for Baseball21. As superdave corrected, they both sold this year - 2 months apart roughly.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would agree with that feeling that the seller was probably disappointed. As you said, this coin sold for $54k in 2011 and just $44k now. Which is evidence that expensive coins aren&#039;t necessarily good investments. Just to correct you SuperDave, one of the 3 97 in this auction was a o101a. I think it was crazy the fact that there were 3 1796 and 3 1797 in this auction. That&#039;s absolutely insane. If one wanted to consign a coin like this to heritage, would they tell the consignee that there are 2 (5) others already in the auction?</p><p><br /></p><p>Some more prices: An F12 1797 O102 sold for $55,812.50 in December 2015 also. Another F12 in April 2016 went for $55,812.50 too. And this F15 gets $11k less. I bet this seller was disappointed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if the market was just flooded for this auction. Although I don&#039;t know how much I buy that theory because the 3 1796&#039;s in this auction sold for much better prices. There are more &#039;97s though and they do come for sale a little more than &#039;96s. So maybe it was flooded market. I have to think about that more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Could the fact that the very same coin was available in 2011 have hurt the price? Anyone who wanted it could have bought it then. Whereas the other one was never for sale before? Just speculation on my part.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
