I meant to add, it seems that it would put the other MS-67 to shame as far as eye-appeal goes.

I didn't take any pix b4 I sent it out (my pix suk anyway), so it will be a few days b4 I can properly show it off. Trust me, it is a drooler!!

BM: Congratulations. I slabbed the pop 1/0 coin a few years ago but elected to sell it as it did not fit into the toned collection I was holding onto. If you decide to sell this toned coin, please let me know what auction you might place it in. Otherwise, ENJOY!!

SkyMan · October 18, 2008 2:51AM

CONGRATULATIONS, Bushie!!! When you get around to it some pix would be real nice.

So, you gonna' plow the earnings into some Frankies... or has the wifey already made demands upon the proceeds?

Boom · October 18, 2008 2:52AM

Congratulations on your score Greg!

That's a heck of an achievment!

I can't wait to see this beauty!

Tbar · October 18, 2008 4:17AM

Congratulations!

Where did this coin come from?

bushmaster8 · October 18, 2008 4:26AM

<< Congratulations!

Denver.

I submitted this coin thru the Teletrade/PCGS program. It's going to be in the Oct 27 auction Mitch, so have at it!

Thanks for all the congrats, guys!

SUMORADA · October 18, 2008 4:28AM

WoW.......

wondercoin · October 18, 2008 4:29AM

Thanks for the heads up - I'll stop by Teletrade next week to have a look at it.

Wondercoin

bushmaster8 · October 21, 2008 12:49AM

It's even prettier than I rembered it!

Tbar · October 21, 2008 12:54AM

Wow BM you wern't kidding, that is a stunner!

Congratulations!

edit to add: I would expect that coin to bring a very strong price...good luck!

richardshipp · October 21, 2008 12:54AM

Wow... nice coin !

19Lyds · October 21, 2008 1:09AM

<< It's even prettier than I rembered it!

But I'll tell you what... I'm not exactly impressed with Teletrades write up! I consign a key date pop.2 coin and get zip for a description?
No, I am not happy at all about that. >>

I was under the impression that consignors write their own descriptions. Perhaps a call to Teletrade is in order.

19Lyds · October 21, 2008 1:14AM

Whoops! My Mistake!

I'd call them anyway Bushy!~

Connecticoin · October 21, 2008 2:49AM

Bushmater, where did you get the coin? From an after-market mint set holder?

Type2 · October 21, 2008 2:50AM

Nice

bushmaster8 · October 21, 2008 4:53AM

I bought it in a standard cardboard 2x2. Where it was b4 that is anybody's guess.

AU58WALKERS · October 21, 2008 4:55AM

anyone ever tell you YOU SUCK

CoinJunkie · October 21, 2008 5:32AM

Not bad for Modern Crap...

PCcoins · October 23, 2008 8:20AM

Thats a wonderful coin with exceptional toning!!! A+ for the Bushmaster

PawPaul · October 23, 2008 8:23AM

Yes, you truly suck ..........

i would guess that coin would bring over 15,000$ - but why let Teletrade take a big chunk of that ? Your max. buyback fee would be a paltry 100$

You buy it back and sell it to Wondercoin or the likes outright and you don't have to fork over any juice.

Besides, Teletrade did not see fit to write up a nice description .........and their pictures as of lately suck real bad .

You got to make your hay when you can man ; you probly paid less then 50$ for the piece at a coin show and you stand to make

over 10 grand profit ...............sheet like this don't happen often in a lifetime I can assure you...........

milk it for all you can .

p.s. - since your ego got involved and you saw fit to tell the world you made it

remember Uncle Sam will want his piece of the action too

cmerlo1 · October 23, 2008 8:44AM

Wow! That coin is a knockout! Congratulations!

I don't believe this coin is worth nearly $15,000. I could see it going for a few Grand to a Registry guru, but 15 grand!

lkeigwin · October 23, 2008 8:54AM

OMG. The stuff dreams are made of.

Nice going!

wondercoin · October 23, 2008 9:26AM

Pawpaul: I won't get into my assessment of the value of the coin since I may be bidding for it up to some level and my statement would be self serving. But, what I can say is this...

The 15% which teletrade charges on the buyers' premium (minus the roughly 3% I get back on the credit card I can use to pay, plus the 1% teletrade gives you in "points" results in about 11% net to them on the coin. Trust me - 11% means next to nothing with a coin such as this. This coin one point lower sells for a couple hundred dollars (actually the last one I bought cost me $69 and was a killer MS66). As I formulate a max bid for this coin, I will not even pay any attention to the buyer' premium. My top bid will be my top bid - whether the coin was at Teletrade, Bowers or anywhere else for sale - even privately.

Wondercoin

P.S. I enjoyed lot viewing the coin today - congrats again Bushmaster on a great coin show find!!

PawPaul · October 24, 2008 12:18PM

Wondercoin ;

interesting, i can agree with your logic.........but I think 11% of ten grand is over a thousand bucks - and I would think Bushmaster would rather pocket that chunk then

to give it to an auction house .

As for the feller that has a hard time thinking it would bring anything near 15 grand ;

1) the coin was minted a mere 30 years after the 32-D

2) PCGS trends is around 12,000$ dollars , and although most of the time erroneous- with very low pop. coins ( in this case 2 ) , it's usually

conservative

3) there will be very strong bidding interest in the coin, from many a well heeled bidder ,competition for top registry coins is intense

4) it's a very attractive genuine RAINBOW and real rainbow's have been known to go for multiples of trends........

5) It's a super popular , highly collected series with a very broad collector base

6) in over 20 years of grading , only one other coin of this date and mint mark has ever achieved this very high grade

SkyMan · October 24, 2008 1:49PM

WOW!

and

WOW! again.

You suck!

PCcoins · October 24, 2008 1:59PM

Its a nice coin Paul, but I'm certain it will not sell anywhere close to $15,000. JMO though. I hope it sells for more than $15,000 so Bushmaster can make a nice profit, the more the merrier!

- The PCGS price guide is basically useless for purchasing coins and especially a coin like this. But I predicted around $3,000-$4,000. We shall see here shortly, but I could be way off.

nicetoning42107 · October 24, 2008 2:18PM

That rainbow is absolutely the real deal and from the pictures the coin is all there for a 67 (as it should have had to be for a pop 2 coin). Should go $10,000 at least.

PCcoins · October 24, 2008 2:18PM

I hope it does! I guess I don't buy condition rarities and this definitely is that. I'm very curious as to what it does sell, especially with the economy like it is. When it sells will someone post the selling price here.

PCcoins · October 24, 2008 2:53PM

I just was viewing HA's passed auctions and within the past 3-4 years all the NGC 67s sold for around $800! A huge difference.

Hadleydog · October 24, 2008 6:34PM

Sweet!

PawPaul · October 24, 2008 10:19PM

<< I just was viewing HA's passed auctions and within the past 3-4 years all the NGC 67s sold for around $800! A huge difference. >>

pc;

I will assume you wanted to own the coin and therefor have an interest in thinking the selling price will be "low".........

apparently you feel your opinion; " of which you are certain , although possibly way off " , bears more weight then several expert Washington collectors here on the board .

I stated that the PCGS price guide in this instance would be conservative -yet you state the complete opposite...........

You mention the NGC pieces selling for less then 10 cents on the dollar of a PCGS piece ;

again , I would like to stress that if that perplexes you , then you are naive and clueless as to the pricing infrastructure in the PCGS/NGC marketplace

a man cannot be certain of something and then entertain the thought he may be way off without jeopardizing his credibility

...............of one thing I am certain - your estimate is way off

leothelyon · October 25, 2008 1:18AM

Nicest toned 62-d I have ever seen.

Thats a wonderful coin with exceptional toning!!!

Greg, always happy to see a good guy land a winner! Rob

OMG. The stuff dreams are made of.

Its a nice coin Paul

I am 100% sure this coin will sell sell for multiples of your estimate either at TT or elsewhere.

That rainbow is absolutely the real deal and from the pictures the coin is all there for a 67 (as it should have had to be for a pop 2 coin).

I hope it does! I guess I don't buy condition rarities and this definitely is that.

I find it absolutely amazing on how many here have personally seen this coin in hand, it must be a stunner!

P.S. I enjoyed lot viewing the coin today - congrats again Bushmaster on a great coin show find!!

Mitch, you don't seem too excited about this coin after seeing it. Of course, having the advantage in seeing it firsthand, one needs to be careful with lending out too much inf. lest we're bidding!

BM,

Nice score, since there are more folks out there with more money than brains.

But tell me more about the coin. With the understanding that there must be an exceptable balance between luster and toning, too often do we find coins that have too much toning which consequentially overpowers the luster. The strike, grade/condition and toning all look exceptional but the toning looks thick, crusted or heavy which may be limiting the amount of luster that is neccesary for a MS67 opinion. A coin of this nature may still have some flash but it's not enough for a superior coin IMO. And to find such a coin sitting in a standard cardboard 2x2 says volumes. Is the market that low where no-one is out there enjoying the hunt. And what about the dealer? He must of thought otherwise about it's quality to let it go for a fraction of it's now generally viewed value. Are we seeng a loosening up with the grading standards. Of course, you know more about this coin then anyone except Wondercoin, but then you said earlier, "It's even prettier than I remembered it!" So is the coin lustrous or what?

Aside from all that, does anyone know if the Heritage pictureguy moved to TT because the lighting is at 6 o'clock and it's on a pop 2/0 coin.....just unbelieveable!

oreville · October 25, 2008 1:35AM

bushmaster:

Congrats!

But you are making me feel OLD!

I remember as a 9 year old waiting for my first spanking brand new pure white 1962-D quarter for my blue Whitman book!!!

Geez!!!

bushmaster8 · October 25, 2008 2:00AM

Leo, you're cracking me up!

Watch out, they might start calling you Mr. Negative!

The luster is not subdued. The toning is not thick. The coin bears a remarkable resemblance to the many MS67 graded Washers from cardboard mint sets. As you know, many of those completely toned mint set quarters have luster just booming thru.

That being said, I would not say this coin has "booming" luster. But the luster is by no means deficient and is more than adequate for the MS67 grade.

To suggest that PCGS is grading loosely right now... well, that doesn't even bear commenting on.

I will say that I had visions of MS68 dancing around my head as I drifted off to sleep after buying this coin!

PawPaul · October 25, 2008 4:34AM

Leo ,

you crack me up too ..........
