    I've never bashed a single modern coin or modern collector on this board, so here goes:

    Man, who would pay that kind of money for something they can find in their pocket change???!!!!

    Looks like a good deal to me -- I just wish he had a Buy-it-now so I don't have to fight the snipers.

    Pass the sledge hammer image!

    "In fact, sometimes, you read about someone saying that PF69DCs are really just as good, but I invite them to look at this Roosevelt dime."

    Yea I'm looking....

    Actually, for me it's not a matter of modern bashing but value buying (something alluded to in an earlier thread).

    Do you imagine the fields blotched up like that after it was slabbed? If so, isn't this the sort of thing PCGS guarantees?

    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    Yes, but not at $9500 for this coin. image

    Hey, I'm a dime collector and I wouldn't give more than $100 for it. It is very nice, but 9500 "GET REAL".

    Well, Im glad that the owner of this dime feels like he has a $9500 investment... Now here's a thought, if each of us could find 10 of these beauties in our junk piles - we could all be driving Porche 911's! I'm checking my pile tonite!!!! image

    This guy just bought the coin for under $800.00 (another auction). So much for wanting to pass it down to his grandchildren...

    Pat,

    I did a search and couldn't come up with it. Did he get it from Nick (Teetelli)?

    Someone trying to win the lottery at another person's expense. Not surprised at that. As long as the potential to dupe someone into buying your merchandise at a much higher price is available, these types of listings will endure.

    I like moderns. Just not dimes.

    He notes in his return policy that the coin must be in the unopened holder if returned, so does that mean it's not a $9500.00 coin raw??

    I guess if you want the top registry set that one would be a good one to have.
  • DHeathDHeath Posts: 8,472 ✭✭✭
    This soft ball is way too easy for you guys. Nobody ever picks on a $20 PR69 Dcam Kennedy. All moderns, collectors, registry participants are not the same. Now, with that disclaimer out of the way, My best guess, $350 because of the plastic.image

    I am a serious modern collector too, but the only Proof70 DCAM Roosevelt Dime I would even consider paying $9500 for would be a pre 54 issue, or an MS70 DCAM SMS coin.

    This guy goes under the handle "composerbear@aol.com". His name is Bill Bland, and he's an opportunist, if you couldn't tell by the auction or the thread.

    This is what I would do if I were him. Resubmit it to PCGS, for a regrade.

    Then if it still is DCAM70, it would be worth a grand at most. I mean, PR70DCAM State Quarters go for $1600! Even a MS69 state quarter.image

    Like I said though, as tough as PCGS grades now(as opposed to what I have heard before), I would say, if it comes back PR70DCAM, then yeh, it's worth quite a bit.

    the spots are probably the scanner (maybe a little dirty)... I scanned a 67CAM silver dime yesterday and, although there are a few spots, the coin looks like it has the albino chicken pox in the scan... very hazy and spotty in the scan, but no in real life...

    Anybody interested in what the seller has to say??

    I bought this coin 5 years ago for $1250...from R&I coins...a year later I bought the 61 in PCGS PF70DC for $2350...at that time it was thought the 61 would be rarer, but it didn't turn out that way.... You can post this information on that board to clarify the truth of the matter, if you wish...I have the bills of sale...

    the price alone is the reason I'll never own a PCGS 70

    I hate it when you see my post before I can edit the spelling.

    If I do the math right, this means a PCGS MS70, is actually a MS71?!

    Am I the only one that finds something wrong with that?
