<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 18765, member: 68&quot;]One of the last 1804 dollars that sold commanded a much higher price because it was the second or third highest graded specimen.&nbsp; If memory serves, the premium exceeded a million dollars.&nbsp; Yet if you go look at the PCGS registry sets which contain this coin, what you see is this:</p><p>&quot;&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words someone paid a million dollars premium for a registry quality coin and then didn&#039;t add it to the registry.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>By the same token, THE NICKEL IN QUESTION IS NOT NEEDED FOR THE REGISTRY AT THE CURRENT TIME.&nbsp; Sure, maybe someone is anticipating it being needed in the future just as they&#039;re anticipating it being rare in the future.&nbsp; The fact is that there are people who collect 1804 dollar and 2004 nickels and don&#039;t put them in registry collections.&nbsp; Those who desire the finest 2004 nickels can buy the coins for a mere pittance compared to the finest of any of the classic coins.&nbsp; While paying such a premium may not be wise, it most assuredly has not raised anyone&#039;s standing in the registries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
