    I think they pulled it early - doesn't that usually mean that someone bought it?

    Look at the bid list.

    Yeah - not saying anything negative about TBT - they're just dandy - and the coin is nice - but I'm just amazed at the price for a modern. Oh well - I guess if someone is willing to pay for it right?

    very nice iridescent colors. Don't think I would have bid close to the highest price for that item though.

    I saw this coin in person a few weeks ago at the Texas Coin Show. It was raw at the time and really is a stunner. As far as the price... we all know color is hot these days. I remember a proof 1982 Washington commem with amazing colors being sold earlier this year. Wasn't that a five figure coin?

    Don't know if I would pay that much for a modern commem, but the toning is really special on that one. What I think makes it so cool is that the devices and fields toned so differently: It's almost like someone painted it to have that kind of color contrast. It rivals that neat George Washington commem someone posted a few months back.

    Russ - That is amazing. Could you imagine being the guy that pulled that out of the mint bag? I would fall over.

    The 1982 Washington commem was Supercoin's and sold for a little over a thousand dollars on ebay. Jack Beymer had it in his case at a couple of N. California shows and was asking $1850.

    They both are great coins. Thanks for the comments! Had some serious offers on the commemorative off of eBay tonight plus I am showing it to a strong buyer in the morning so had to end it early and make sure it was not sold twice. That is a nightmare situation.image
