Tommy, The best of luck on the Auction! Although the coin did not get re-graded by PCGS, I believe that it should fetch a really nice price as it is a superb specimen of this rare Date and Mintmarked $5 Gold piece. I also believe that Heritage's description of the coin and Pop numbers will help boost the interest of many deep pocketed Collectors! Frank
I agree they definetley did a great job! I can't wait, I will let you all know what happens. Thanks again, Tommy
I just revisited this thread after I noticed that the coin has already been bid up to 16,000! Congrats! The cleaning really isn't too terrible, which I suspect is part of the reason it is doing so well.
Whoopie! That's great news for Tommy and makes us all ecstatic for him! I am sure that the bids will go much higher as the Auction nears closing but $16,000 ain't too shabby either! Frank
Thanks for everything!!!!!!! Hi guys, Well she sold for $16,000! ($18,400) realized. I am sad that it is over, but I am very pleased with the outcome. I wanted to let you all know how thankful I am for cointalk, and all the members following and helping me through this long journey! You guys are great!!!
