From today, December 21st.

Yes, because the only prices before the 12th would have been dealer bids on the exchange. A lot of Greysheet prices are determined that way.

They could have incorporated a caveat.....*TBD after December 12th Stacks Bowers auctions.

They don't need a "caveat". They could have not published any price, of course. A lot of their pricing is based on open bid/ask prices coupled with auction results.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. My point is that it is NOT a Greysheet "estimate", it's the dealer bids. I could go on the exchange tonight and change the price of a coin sinply by placing a bid significantly higher than any prior sale.

@PerryHall - I'm wondering what aluminum would look like.

They wouldn't turn yellow like the plastic ones do.

3. What does "AI CONDITION" mean? I can only think of "Artificial Intelligence", which is Google returns now, even for healthcare.

Could it be the number "1", as opposed to the letter "I", meaning in good condition?

If anyone is interested in reviewing the current listing, it appears that this item is still available.

The value ($40k+) just isnt there. I think these suffer in the coming months.

the quarter eagle above is mine - a couple more

Great PO01’s. It’s always interesting to me how you can have so much wear on some coins and the MM stands out like a sore thumb on some of them

OUCH! For goodness sakes, of all the dates to experiment on, the 1904-s is not the one! Although given the rarity of many mint marked Barber halves, you would be taking chances with most of them! I'm guessing that was a pretty damn nice EF-45 coin prior to the butcher job. Nice EF coin worth around $4,000. today.

My collection was cleaned out in a robbery about 7 years ago. I started to rebuild it when a friend suggested a set of quarter eagle gold indians. Only 15 coins and only one key date that wouldn’t break the bank.
I started and finally finished this year with the key 1911d.

Happy ending and I like my collection better - have expanded into British coins now.

I assembled this set in the late 1980s. It's still raw.

Congratulations on staying with the hobby after you were robbed. It would be tough to start over.

Great job - thx for sharing.

Even if you could have bought a new case for a reasonable amount it was still worth the effort because Capitol made lots of custom cases that can't be replaced, so it's good practice.

Replacement screws are east to get online, so you can easily replace those yellowed (and probably brittle) ones if you wanted to.
