[QUOTE="The Half Dime, post: 26305736, member: 153164"]That is the true issue with California gold; ths fact that there are so many varieties makes it exceedingly difficult to know scarcity without a Greysheet, and even then, I am unsure where they got their numbers. It looks to be that I have the duty of bringing this coin to light. When I start on Ebay, that'd be a great place to bring it to light, as there is currently no trace of a BG-1019 on the site. ;) You're right - my main goal generally is to flip slabs for a quick profit, but I do also buy some coins to keep, often at low prices so it's no worry about selling; this one is roughly in the middle of the 2. The real hard part is advertising it, since for a coin with about 46 to 60 known examples, you'd need some pretty strong backing. PCGS puts the survival estimate at 45. ;)[/QUOTE]
