Hi y'all,
I had a flare-up of health problems that caused me to cancel some ebay purchases. All the sellers were understanding and showed real class. They backed up their coins. If anyone is interested in DMPL's I can recommend
someone. GSAGUY, I doubt I'll be at Long Beach but if things change I will let you know.
Since it looks like I'm out of the coin scene indefinitely, I do have a question about a PCGS 61 1861-O Seated $1 that I purchased at the June Long Beach show. It exhibits strong proof-like qualities on the reverse. The obverse is not quite as reflective reflective and has small bagmarks in the field. The coin is very brilliant with slight golden toning around the obverse rim.
Sorry I don't have a pic, but do semi-proof-like Seateds command a premium over non-prooflikes? Any idea what a dealer price would be? I know that bluesheet is around $750. I paid quite a bit more than that. PCGS retail goes from $975 in 60 to over $3000 in 63.

tuff getting a premium on a one sided prooflike.
As you know, mid-grade coins are pretty hard to price.
The Grey Sheet says that Bid is $725 in MS-60, while Trends says retail is $900 in MS-60 and $1400 in MS-61.
I would guess that a dealer might pay $900 for a nice MS-61.
I'd also recommend offering the coin to a Seated specialist, perhaps someone like Dick Osburn.
