    It’d be great if it was my W. ;)

    Edit: Bidder 9 really wants it.

    There's only two of them but is it really a rarity being a PCGS designated coin.

    My grades are usually a little lower when I have spots like that. That guy hit the jackpot twice with that coin.

    The general public needs to know this. It may set off the next great coin boom. Here come the early 1960s!!!!!!

    This time I will sit out the boom.

    All glory is fleeting.

    The fact that it is an ugly 66 kind of takes away from it imo.

    But....good for the seller. Might as well take advantage. I wonder if it is the guy with the CCF thread.

    Went up another $100.

    Suspect a fun bidding war closer to the end... for spectators.

    Could some explain this to me I don't understand? Are there only 2 coins in existence or only two lables??

    Thanks!

    There are two “First Discovery” pedigreed W quarters because they both arrived at PCGS on the same day and the owners split the $5000 reward.

    The other pedigrees are:

    “First Week of Discovery” (those coins submitted within seven days of the first discovery coins

    “Early Find” (those submitted within 45 days of the first discovery coins)

    Unbelievable.... :o I would never have imagined this coin would command such a price.... In two years (IMO) it will sell for $50... maybe. Cheers, RickO

    I wish I could ask the top bidders what they find attractive about this coin. Investment value? Owning the discovery piece? Does Lowell, MA have a very special place in their heart?

    Way to go! IMO, the seller is a very intelligent person. He should write a thank you note to our host.
