I would appreciate some experienced advise on this coin.

Is this actually in a PCGS holder?

Do you consider the BIN a reasonable asking?

I don't have enough experience in this area and would appreciate comments.

My thanks

Russ

I can answer the first one, yes, it is a PCGS holder. First generation, or "rattler" as they are fondly called.

I can answer the first one also, it is a PCGS first generation holder, they are smaller than the current model holder.

Thanks for the replies. Any opinions on the BIN price?

Newbie,

There is a site-unseen dealer bid of $120 on the Certified Coin Exchange, Blue sheet is $120 and Greysheet is $150 bid. Based on that, I believe a fair retail price would be roughly $140 to $180.


I believe, the B.I.N. price is a bit high. B.I.N. prices are typically (though not always) high, from my experience.

All right - here is what I did.

The Greyshheet bid is $150.00

The PCGS Population is:
MS64 - 810
MS65 - 678
MS66 - 178
MS67 - 20

The PCGS Price Guide says $215.00

I will say that I like to buy these as a matched set rather than an individual coin.

My conclusion is that the coin has some toning but is OK for me. If you are just looking for an example of the Oregon than I would have a Max bid of $160.00.

Great advise and wisdom folks (as usual). I have a few Oregons, love 'em and was just looking for a Christmas present for myself.

Thanks again........great help from all!

I think you should read through the feedback this seller has left for others before making a decision about whether to buy from them.

Russ,

I did read some of the feed-backs. I found it confusing but I am not an experienced e-bayer so I may not fully understand all of the comments.

Thanks for the advise.

Wow.

Russ has a super point. I will never buy from these people whether or not they had a coin I really truly wanted.

There is a seller I wish I would not have bought from 3 months ago. He does the same thing with feedback. His coins were garbage and if you returned them, even though it was his fault, he would neg you good!! So, no more of that one for me.
