<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4567302, member: 97383&quot;]High-grade Koson staters have been fetching high prices at auction lately, especially NGC slabbed examples. Most of these staters are in mint state &amp; have been found in large hoards, but the examples struck from fresh dies that are well centered are fetching the highest prices. Two of these staters that received a lot of publicity &amp; were sold by Heritage Auctions, were found in Salvation Army buckets <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! A note was also found in the bucket by the anonymous donor.&nbsp; They are the first two coins pictured below. Originally they were slabbed by IGC, and then given to NGC by Heritage.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1130935[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1130936[/ATTACH] </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1130937[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>NGC 5745647-002, Ch MS, Strike 5/5, Surface 5/5. $3,000.00</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1130944[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b>NGC 5745647-001, MS, Strike 4/5, Surface 4/5. $1800.00. </b>This variety without the <b>BR</b> monogram is less desirable than examples with the monogram. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1130950[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>NGC 3598400-001, Ch MS*, Strike 5/5, Surface 5/5. $2880.00.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1130951[/ATTACH] </b></p><p>This example was sold by <b>CNG</b> in a raw state less than two weeks ago at <b>CNG 469, lot 32, Ex Fine condition, $2655.00.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>I was lucky to score the coin pictured below at a Freeman &amp; Sear Mail Bid Sale 12, November 28, 2005.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1130952[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>NGC 2491172-001, Gem MS, Strike 5/5, Surface 5/5.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
