1984 Cent with missing copper plating (and humorous original contemporary dealer holder). The luster and toning are also nice. 50¢



Lovely original purple and lavendar toning. It is much nicer in hand. $18

 

One of the most fascinating 84 Linc I have seen. I am having a hard time seeing the missing layer.

 

There is no coppery red. It is very "washed-out" in color. I can't think of a way to cause a modern cent to look like that while still keep its full luster.

 

I'd a gambled at 50c whats the weight?

 

Bought for $30 as a gamble with horrible scan pics, sold for $130 a few hours after it came in the mail

 

Well, the buyer overpaid by $110 IMO

 

Perfectly market acceptable NT for a peace dollar. Thanks though

 

Yes, but it is ugly.

 

Obviously not to the buyer that Chris sold it to... He wasn't trying to sell it to you.

I think it was a great buy and a gamble that paid off.

 

So because you think it's ugly the buyer overpaid by $110? I don't get the logic behind that but ok.

 

That's why I said IMO. Value is always subjective as to what someone would pay. I would only pay $20, so that is what it is worth to me.

I'm glad you found a buyer willing to shell out that kind of money.

 

I have a knack for that

 

Not my personal cup o' tea, but I could see why someone might take a chance on it.

Is it worth $130?

Yes, because someone was willing to pay $130. I will join you in celebration and look forward to seeing what two other coins you post here with the proceeds



FWIW - I will be posting something fun here mid-next week (assuming I get the coin pictured.) Gonna be good.

Rescued from the junk silver bin today:

(Interested to hear what you think this 1935 D Washington Quarter would grade - not going to send it to a TPG, just checking my grading.)

 

That '35-D Washington Quarter is nice and flashy!! It looks like it could go AU-53 to AU-55. Unfortunately, it looks like it spent a lot of time sliding around in a box rubbing the highest points.

 

What’s odd is that those HUGE patches of wear that you see on his cheek are 95% “the light catching something you can’t see in hand in an odd way.” Looks like a completely different coin. Probably should have taken a different (and more representative image of the coin) but I was in a rush to get out the door.

 

Well even in AU, that's a fantastic pick-up from a junk box...
