Wow, some high dollar coins here.
PCGS certified 23 of the 25 highest selling U.S. coins in 2020, including the Stickney / Eliasberg Specimen 1804 Draped Bust Dollar that sold for $3,360,000
With 2020 officially behind us, Professional Coin Grading Service (www.PCGS.com) is once again on top when it comes to grading almost all the top 25 most valuable most coins sold at public auction during the past year.
Having graded 23 of the 25 most valuable coins to cross the auction block in 2020, that number represents an increase of two PCGS-graded top-priced coins from the previous year’s count of 21 in 2019. It also includes the crossing of a graded rarity that sold for $1.44 million and was in a holder from another grading service.
The sales data compiled here derives from the seven top auction companies, which include Heritage Auctions, Stack’s Bowers Galleries, Legend Rare Coin Auctions, GreatCollections, Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Sotheby’s, and Bonhams. A complete list of the top 25 most valuable coins sold in 2020 can be found online at https://www.pcgs.com/top-selling-coins-2020.

Makes total sense to me! I have always said a PCGS graded coin brings top dollar to the seller.
Very impressive. PCGS has a great record and is a top notch company to deal with. Cheers, RickO
