<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barberian, post: 26810458, member: 24442&quot;]Over $100?&nbsp; Really?&nbsp; I sold this G6 for $90 two years ago.&nbsp; What do you think it is worth today?</p><p><br /></p><p>Edited to add - Good grief, I already posted these coins above.&nbsp; But here&#039;s the story of my only coin investment other than the 1968-S proof set I purchased for $20 when I was 12-yo.&nbsp; Investing in horseshoes back in 1910 would have been a better investment than that proof set.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1711111[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1876-CC is a date that I actually invested in, aside from collecting for my SLH set.&nbsp; I purchased 10 of them, mostly in nice AG to a F15, along with my PCGS XF40, in expectation of a price increase before 2026.&nbsp; What prompted me to do this was my experience purchasing this raw XF40.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1711115[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The XF40 was initially a BIN OBO on eBay.&nbsp; I offered the seller $179 for it and my offer was rejected.&nbsp; The seller replied that the 1876-CC was a hot coin worth at least $100 more than that, a claim that surprised me.&nbsp; It didn&#039;t sell for the price he wanted, so he put it up for auction and I won the coin for $170.&nbsp; The seller was correct about the price rise, though, because the price guides soon raised the value to $275.&nbsp; That prompted me to start buying nice, low-grade examples when I encountered them, including the G6 shown above.&nbsp; Here are two more &quot;shares&quot; of 1876-CC I purchased.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS F15</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1711116[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A raw VG8 WB-2 Large CC that needs to be graded now because of the price rise.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1711117[/ATTACH]</p><p>They ease the pain in my failing to purchase a nice 1839 No Drapery 18 years ago when they were worth about $1000 in XF40.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t savvy enough to realize that the 39ND, a one-year type, would also rise considerably over time.&nbsp; Now, it&#039;s a $3000+ coin at that grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
