Axial vs. non-axial.

True, glamour vs direct..

IMO once you get into the higher mint state nothing beats lot viewing. But of course that is not always possible and convenient.

It is a good idea to be able to recognize lighting technique. Having both is a net advantage.

I wouldn't call either of these 'glamour' shots. They're simply different techniques. Much like the below:

Both sets of images are equally as accurate. Knowing imaging techniques is an incredible advantage in today's market, and one very few know how to take full advantage of.

I like the top set, I think the bottom set looks like a freak. Colorful, but a freak. Bottom-line, I'd be pissed if I bought this coin off the top set, I'd feel like I was mislead. I'm not one for crazy-shaped color disrupting the eye-movement engraved in the coin, and that's what that bottom set reveals. It corrupts the intended eye-movement the engraver skillfully tried to get across, diminishing that graceful movement for the crazy-shaped color. Sorry, not for me. I love color. But when it complements, not disrupts.

Huh?

The engraver's expression is totally overcome by that freak show color. In fact, it's hardly existent. All his hard work and skill to control our eye movement through the coin is lost. Understanding better? Your eye moves through the coin different, now. Surely you at the least can pick that up.

Huh?

It looks like Stacks is now publishing Greysheet and Collectors Price Guide Pricing on the 230 Privy Auctions
Greysheet in 70 - 12,000
Greysheet in 69 - 8,000

.
Where does Greysheet get their info from?

APRs, you'll see those figures changed shortly.

Dan, would you consider sticking your neck out and being more specific? If so, do you anticipate that the changed prices will be raised or lowered?

😉😉

I try to avoid going out on a limb these days, so I’m going to have to politely refuse. Sorry .

Jokes aside, I suspect the grey wholesale is going to almost precisely match the lowest sale figures for each grade. It would look something like this:

PR70 - 34k CDN/ 40,800 CPG

Pr69 - 25k cdn/ 30k CPG

I believe that they also take posted bids on electronic exchanges into account. In this case, at the time those prices were published there were no actual transactions to consider.

LAST ONE....

---

Somebody really wanted that "LAST" coin.

Is there any real importance to coin #230 other than it's the same number as on the privy.

Nope. But, to me, there is no difference between #2 and #202. Some people just have a thing for numbers. As with the Dusk and Dawn, the first and last sold for huge premiums over the others.

Shipper dodged a bullet big time here. Small FRBs need reinforcement if there's anything heavy inside. These are also the worst tubes you could use to ship coins as they often shatter in transit

Something tells me this is the dawn of a new era for the Mint. The institution, as we knew it, is gone.

Wouldn't surprise me if #1 and #230 were purchased by the same person.
