Auction results always make me wonder. Last Sunday, Dec 22, this MS66 CAC Lexington had a final bid of $800 ($900 net) with a PCGS price guide of $575 and a CAC price guide of $500. I regularly see other examples.

Big price jump in 67

Thanks @OAKSTAR

That is the best slide I have ever seen!

i'm a first spouse collector who is buried in many of them because of the dual threat: pr70 and first strike

I'm complaining

you want those in the land of declining mintages (and sellers) and rising gold prices? that means still buried for so many issues. the next issue will be off the rails expensive because few are left to make pr70/'lite label. and I'm still trying for a pr69/'lite label set. i got lucky last issue because 69's were generously handed out despite the coins being the cleanest gold spouse issue of them all by far! (they were spectacular and the portrait was perfection in its rendering!

way back when, pr69/'lite label used to be sold for just over issue price with losses taken on seller's fees and grading fees. i have a set in 69s. i'm going to be buried in the next 69 if ever they generously hand out 70s then.

and then there is the 70/label markup. way back when you'd pay 50% at least over issue, but you could also resell them easier than now. the latest issue, the markup for a 70/label was s a lower percentage over issue, but you can't resell them. so who cares about that?! just think of the percentage markup over melt.... which is what the market is really accepting!

complaining!

1) You butt in line on day one(minute) and shut out a potential collector who really wanted one of those FHG at Mint price.
2) You Post blurry photos.
3) You Post a coin upside down.

1+2+3 = LOSER ***HOLE imo.

Really unnecessary

Thanks Mr deFacto Moderator.

I'm not moderating. I'm expressing an opinion about your opinion. There is no reason to use obscenities and hurl an insult at anyone, especially someone simply selling a coin on eBay.

For all you knew, they had intended to keep it but need the money to pay their child's medical bills. It was uncalled for. I didn't tell you that you couldn't say it. I didn't report it to the actual moderators, although I could have. I simply said that it was unnecessary... and we could add unkind, if you like.

Gross exaggeration? Just look back at your posts from a month ago insisting you knew it all.

You were wrong. Period.

Most of that was so last month, and pretty soon it will be last year. 🤣😂🤣

He is just entertainment. He makes soooo many predictions he is bound to get some right, eventually. But when he does he will be the guy that predicted it. And you can not take that away from him. Eventually he will get a few right after enough predictions.
How can anyone argue with someone that predicted multiple "things"?

NJCoin claim your wins!

how did low mintage affect current prices of the other four?

The lower gold mintages mean declining interest, so back issues will drop in price to bullion value. However, that is a plus for collectors because it gives two ways for appreciation for these five. Also the historic low mintages will eventually matter, it is unlikely they drop to under 1,000 mintage in future releases. I know few people like these, but they have broken well under classics now except for the PanPac. That will eventually matter to the market.

PS The five gold coins combined are priced at what one Jackie Robinson was about eight years ago.

Oh to dream
