<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 691122, member: 9474"]Well first of all, if it were in my collection, it would never see the light of day again! LOL! Seriously, I collect these and this would be the mother lode of all coins so it would go into my collection permanently. So for answering this question, I may not be the best person to ask. </p><p> </p><p>Now if I were to buy this coin, I probably wouldn't even consider it unless it was at least half or less than the PCGS price guide list. If money is coming out of my pocket, I will usually pay half of the list price unless of course I am trading, then I will go upwards towards list price....assuming that I am getting list price for my coins as well. Chances are that you will get more than half of what list price is, but I would be really surprised if you get list price going through any auction place. I could be wrong on this because it is such a key coin at a good grade. Seeems like you are already doing your research, so do a search of all the major auction places and see what the trend is. I looked at Teletrade for you and I can tell you that the prices have been falling quite steadily over the past few years for this coin. Based on these trends, it almost seems best to sell it now than later. </p><p> </p><p>As far as insurance goes....there is a thread on here that is still new that has to do with insurance on coins. I would recommend Hugh Woods. You will not find insurance less than his anywhere and if you do, I want to know about it. It may cost around $100 a year or less for insurance on this one coin. Thats a small price to pay for a calm piece of mind. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
