1874-CC DIME KEY DATE OF THE SERIES

Barry · January 13, 2005 4:38AM

This coin is in an ANACS slab graded AU50, XF details corroded. If you're seriously considering this coin, you know the "corrosion" is seen on most specimens of the Seated CC dimes of early 1870's. Another example of this date with exactly the same grade sold at the Heritage FUN auction. This coin is nicer, not having any of the superficial scratches seen in the Heritage coin. Asking $25,500.

No thanks, I'd rather have a new car!
Good luck though.

But a car doesn't appreciate in value

Tell that to the person that owns an original 64 2+2 Mustang, an original 64 Goat, an original 53 Vette, an Aston Martin, an original 64 Chevy IMP.,(427 flags)and......................

And the 70 Boss Horse.....

I know, not a wrench monkey Forum, sorry, got carried away. Regrets, won't happen again.

MadMonk · January 13, 2005 7:23AM

Only goes to prove, condition and rarity.
But to keep it in context...25 K spent on a current model car, or a killer rare coin...The coin is gonna win!

<< <i>And the 70 Boss Horse..... >>

You mispronounced Boss Hoss

charley · January 13, 2005 7:34AM

If memory serves me, Boss Hoss was always trying to get his hands on the General, wasn't he?Wasn't the General a MOPAR? OOPS, sorry, apologize for the hijacking again, but he started it......

The 74cc dime is not only the key date of the dimes, it's the key collectable date in the entire seated liberty series, surpassing "great" rarities like the 1878-s half and 1870-cc quarter.
Only the non-collectable rarities surpass it imo. And it doesn't help that most are damaged in some way.

As far as cars go, I'd rather have the car....back. Sold my 1970 Dodge Challenger RT 440-6 pack shaker hood car for $19,500 in 1996. I thought the market was dead. The same car today with nothing done to it except some washing and waxing is $55K or more.
It's done very well for itself other than someone else owns her now.

BTW Barry,I assume that this is your duplicate now,any pics of your new piece?

Barry · January 13, 2005 12:35PM

Yes, Hayden. This is now a duplicate. Look at the first post in this thread for pics of the replacement. The ANR coin is the sixth 74cc I've owned. At one point, about 2-3 years ago, I owned 4 of them.

All right all you gear head car junkies, I must admit that I am one too. How about a 63 Pontaic Tempest Le Mans or a 63 Pontiac GTO, or to make things interesting, a 1973 Porche 911S with mechanical fuel injection that can make up to 275 HP DN with a little help.
I want both, the cars and the coins. I can drive my collection from place to place in it and feel relatively certain that nobody would be able to catch me if they tried.
But lets face it, coins are easier to garage than cars.

Yeah, cars are great and let's face it, nobody makes cars like the Italians. The designers at Pininfarina should be let loose on coins!

P.S. Nice coin Barry!

AboutRareCoins · January 14, 2005 2:02AM

I love cars. I love coins. I love antique firearms. I love antique furniture. I love antique houses and, oh yea, antique cars.
As far as women are concerned, the only antiques I like are my relatives. As for the others, I like NEW, SLEEK and FAST, VERY FAST. Kind of like CARS>>>>>

Roadrunner, the pricing is a few months behind. RT440 6PACK WITH FACTORY MAGS -WHITE ON WHITE- hit 80K at the New Mexico sale. To the Roma admirerers, remember a lot of the designs were imported from early Ford engineers' throwaways. Maybe american market was to "stout" to fit in the sleek designs.

charley · January 14, 2005 9:07AM

About rare coins, positrac aside, not to mention mod. lifters, (factory), the Goat wins, hands down, and we won't even mention colors-remember hunter green and poppyseed orange (hijacked from ford horse). O.K., I really will stop now.

Wow! That's quite a piece!
Congrat's!

As for Charley and the rest of you your disucssion would be more appropiate here
although Barry is getting all these free

s.
So if I started a topic on cars,I would get free

s?

Barry · January 14, 2005 10:32AM

I don't mind the bumps

Hayden, if you don't mind, edit your post and please remove the pic of my new 74-CC. I don't want there to be any confusion as to which one is for sale.
Thanks,
Barry

charley · January 14, 2005 10:44AM

Thank you, Barry, for understanding the underlying intent of my replys, as this series is one of my true loves, as I am sure htubbs knows from my previous purchases from him . Hayden, while editing picture, edit spelling in directing me to another forum, so as to avoid confusion.
