What coin retains one third of its GEM MS65 value in GD04?

<< <i>1950-D nickel? >>



Yep. I was a bit surprised by that. It's about $14.50 in MS65 and is $4.90 in GD04 per the latest Coin World Trends.

TDN- you're quick!
Are there any others coins like that one?

EVillageProwler

Hey!!!

What about MY answer?!?

Good one, EVP.

I assume the coin must exist in G-4? That probably rules out the 1913 Liberty nickel and the 1804 dollar. Isn't there a 1894-S dime in Good?

tradedollarnut

1931-S cent?

braddick

EVP- find me any State quarter that'll slab out at GD04 and I'll give you 3X its GEM MS65 price!

Ahhh, Braddick...always searching for grade rarity

Great icon, BTW

Have you ever seen a 1950-D nickle in that low a grade?
I got one from a coke machine in 1964 in the barracks I lived in at Fort Gordon, Georgia. It's the only one I ever found in change in almost 45 years of collecting. Much better than good though.
I've never seen one in only good 4 myself.

Any Accugrade MS65!

I think a 1913 Liberty nickel exists in G-4! It is somewhere on a roadside in North Carolina. I'll offer $300k for it right now, about 1/3 the price of a gem.

I know it is worth that much, because if it is actually only in PO1 condition, I can sell it to Braddick at a profit!

I've got one into PCGS right now (submission: 3039574) that has what I hope is a true 1950-D in GD04 (although, knowing my luck, it'll go VG08).

I found it on a bid board. Like you, I've never seen one, problem free, in such a low grade due to their popularity right from the year they were minted.

1895 Morgan?

I guess Proofs can play. Why not?

Isn't there a 1894-S dime in Good?

Sure is...the dime Hallie Daggett spent on an ice cream cone in 1894 is in good condition...

Daddy Daggett gave her three of them according to the story...of twenty-four made only half that number accounted for...

one plausible theory is that some of the 1894-S dimes were lost in the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906...

1903-O $1 is worth $120 in good and $360 in MS-65

Have to have a say on 1950-D,
Hoarded issue, weak strike, less than desirable planchet, badly toned...
Anyone have a real high end MS66FS for sale?

Good one! -Used to be worth 5X's that in GEM grades 30 years ago!

Neat coin. Who on this board bought one of these in VG08 or so? I remember thinking how odd it would be to find one of these in a pleasing, gray, problem free, lower grade.

TheNumish

I own a problem free VG 1903-O. Also own a nice ngc MS-66. If I ever had to choose I'd keep the VG and sell the MS-66.

Another coin is a 1972 doubled die cent. Worth $125 in vg and $375 in MS-65.

braddick

I've never seen or heard of a 72/72 in lower grades. I'd love to see one of those. Speaking of low grades Lincolns, I don't think I've ever seen one in VG08 or less for ANY year (after 1958). I wonder why that is? Some of these have now had 40 years to circulate. Why no super low grade cents?

A few reasons I can think of right off, and probably a few I'm missing...

1. Many more were made, thus more to take the brunt of circulation. You also won't find most 1950s wheaties in less than VF.
2. Of course less time to circulate than the wheaties.
3. Many were tossed into jars, cans, and bottles, not spent. Back in the thirties, most people didn't have that luxury.
4. They have been worth less in the past 40 years than in any other time in history. A bit of a detrement to their circulating.

TheNumish

I've seen 72 doubled dies in xf but nothing lower. I was just trying to answer the trivia question. The monthly sumary does have a bid listed in vg at $110.

$20 St. Gaudens in VG are worth $300 and in MS-65 they are worth $875. Have seen a few of these in my life.
