Numismatic Investments of New England

I'm trying to find out any information at all about this company and can't find anything except they went under. I see who the owners were, but don't see anything at all about the coins.

That said, one of my local shops has 3 coins from this company. A 1885 Seated Quarter Proof, 1929-S WL Half, and a 1930 SLQ.

Yes, the pictures are awful but the shop has very poor lighting for seeing extremely toned coins.

The coin is beautiful, but I don't know anything about this company... anyone?

Consider me a pessimist. The coin looks too good to be true. Perhaps TomB will chime in.

I like the seated quarter a lot! Hard telling from the pics looks pf 63-4 range

 

Graded as PF65

 

NICE !!!!!

 

Why do you say this? I've seen a seated dollar proof with my own eyes that was every bit this nice and slabbed by NGC. It had the same sort of dark/blue iridescent toning and a nice cameo effect on the devices. If I'd have had a spare $9000, I probably would have bought it, even though seated coinage isn't really my thing. (And, let's be honest here, I've never had what you'd call a *spare* $9000, either.)

 

That's the point! If it's so nice, then why isn't it in a slab?

Chris

 

Because all nice coins start life in a slab, right?

 

So I'm guessing you would have passed on this one as well since it wasn't slabbed?

 

looks nice to me

 

Did you submit the coin to NGC or PCGS? If so what did it come back as?

 

So it appears the grades are accurate?

 

Well, that ended well!

 

No! You would think people would be more comfortable buying a coin of a 4- or 5-digit price that's in a slab given all of the counterfeit coins on the market. Also, we're not talking about a $500-600 coin. It could be damaged much easier in a flip.

It's not a normal flip. The coin is in its own holder so it won't move around in the flip. You can see it in the pictures.

 

My vision isn't all that great. Maybe that's why I wouldn't trust anyone with an expensive raw coin.

It looks like a nice proof with original color. Grade of course mainly depends upon hairlines, if it hasn't circulated.
