This coin is incredible. I suppose if I had $85000 to throw around, I would buy it.

The coin to have

    With $85,000, I could pay off a few credit cards, some creditors, totally restore my elky, and build a nice house on the hill.

    And of course, get some really good franky's also image

    I just wonder how it was stored the last 134 years to maintain such pristine condition.

    The seller should do a reserve auction so at least he can get a better idea of what collectors would be willing to pay.

    Wow! I can't afford it so I don't guess it really matters how its priced.
    Buy the coin...but be sure to pay for it.

    dog,
    isn't that out of the famed faverscam hoard?
    i believe it was in a 55 gal drum, buried deep into the earth.

    I was wondering the same thing but didn't want to get into another long thread on you know what. It's my understanding that coins with these type of mirrors are very delicate which makes successfully dipping them more difficult than doing the average MS coin. What say you.

  • Dog97Dog97 Posts: 7,874 ✭✭✭
    Dunno pmh1nic. It should have some kind of spots or toning on it. Maybe it was PROPERLY dipped. Maybe if we saw it in person we could see some problems. I see some spots around the eagle and it is a 67 which is by far a perfect coin so there must be something we don't see. Still a very nice coin!

    Truthfully, the way it looks, and the age of the coin, I wouldn't pay no more than $40000 for it. image

    I do wonder though how you can possibly store a coin for that long, and it keep a finish like that?

    It was dipped?!image

    That coin is to die for, but ... for much less money, but certainly still not cheap, I would rather have the 1860 Seated Dollar, No Motto, NCG PF-66 CAM ($33,500) or the 1890 Seated Half, PCGS PR-67 DCAM ($34,500) listed in Rick Tomaska's August newsletter that arrived today ...

    Arctic,
    This was on E-Bay a couple months ago with a reserve and it topped out around $35K. Which is almost exactly the going rates of the coins proposed by RGL.

    Yes that is a coin to strive for. I think I would encase it in a truly watertight slab, hang it from my bathroom shower head and use those crystal clear mirrors to shave with!!image

    That is if I had bill gates money. If I had Bill gates money I would probably be living year round in tahitii with Adrian's Wife.........whoooooaaaa just kidding!!

    Im still thinking about what I could do with $85000.

    I could purchase a nice 4x4 for the Life foundation that gives food to starving families in South Africa.

    Man that would be nice. I read though about hummers, and a hummer would be more trouble than it's worth to people that just need a good reliable 4x4. It's not like their climbing mountains. image

    I would have to choice wisely on what 4x4 would be the most reliable. Maybe an older Toyota(you know, that ones you can work on), or maybe an older Chevy 4x4, with a reliable 350, and 350th tranny. Ahhh, now Im thinking about myself. image But still, a chevy s-10 longbed with a 4.3L v6(reliable) would work too. Some say toyotas are the most reliable, well, I use to own a toyota, and their just as reliable as any other vehicle you take care of. I had one that had a warped piston ring, and sounded very nasty when you rev'ed it, then hit it again.

    Anyways, how bout a Landcruiser?!

    Those things are moving continents. hehe

    Welp, back on topic.

    The old motto of " The People who have an The People who have not" I fit into the Have Not's. If I only had that kind of money. I never will. Can I say LOTTO!!. I'd need two 12 gauge shotguns for this coin.

    HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!

    Ummm...that wouldn't even be 90,000 lbs.

    The Caterpillar 797 dump truck weighs 560,000 lbs.

    Yeah.

    in jewel luster perhaps?

    i know anaconda is out here, so i'll be nice. it IS a beauty,and i WOULD accept it if someone gave it to me, BUT it is utterly impossible for a silver coin from 1868 to be untoned, unless it was shrink-wrapped and freeze-dried the second it fell off the dies, and i doubt the mint was into that in a1868. wait a minute, is that original mint FROST???
