The total sale price of the 45 PRF-69 examples was $1,261,000. Average price of $28,022. Lowest winning bid was $25,000. Highest winning bid was $34,000.

I was surprised at the very strong prices for the 69's which many were not very much lower than even a couple of the 70's. I would think the 70's would hold their purchase price value longer over time.

I guess we can forget any deals from the mint on the good stuff everything will go to auction.

I looked up the true view. That is a beauty. Nice strike and amazing luster.
Congratulations!

This is just one of those nonsense articles to generate clicks, nothing remotely insightful here.

I believe one of the 69s went above the price of the lowest 70. $34k vs $33k.

I agree that the 69s did very very well. Stacks Bowers has to be thrilled with the results and exposure.

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
