Here's a thought...

Let's suppose for an instant, that by some miracle of miracles, 12 bags of 1895P dollars were found by some lowly clerk, who got assigned to clean some forgotten place in the bowels of the Philly Mint. And then let's further suppose that the GSA all of the sudden said - AH HA! let's have another GSA sale with these puppies? - What would you pay to own one of these newly found marvels?

$500

$1000 tops. But it would mean selling some of my favorites so, it would be tough to make that kind of trade.

merz2

I too would have to say $500 tops.Since your talking about bags of 1,000.That would be 12,000 of them.

If they'd go to the highest bidders, then there would be no way I could afford them.

Coin Vault would sell them for $89.95 limit 5 per person.

5 easy payments of just $99.99.

I'm with NWCS; With a max mintage of 12,000, some 80,000 less than the number of 93S minted, it would no doubt be beyond my reach.

A pop of 12k would make it roughly equal to the surviving 94-P, 95-O & S So I'd probably go about $5k max depending on the grade.

Dog97,

I think you've mixed up your decimal points. Those coins have a TOTAL PCGS population of about 1.2k, and most of those are not mint state. I think it would be closer to a 1885-CC dollar where most of the graded ones are mint state. If these were sold to the "GSA" public, they would most likely remain mint state as few collectors would spend them enough to get them worn. I would guess $250-$3000 each, depending on condition, just like 1885-CCs.

The MINT in all its wisdom may just melt them and then try to sell them, holding your money, getting intrest on your money and giving you a credit for a later purchase HA HA

tjkillian I'll agree with that but I was not basing the price I would pay on PCGS Pop Reports but rather on the estimated surviving specimens in all companies holders including raw coins in Mint State 60+ 94-P, O or S which are estimated to be around 10k each.
Comparing straight PCGS pops would put the availablity if the biz strike 95-P equal with the 85-CC but it would obviously be a much more desirable coin and probably be priced about like the 95 Proof on a Fine-MS curve.
It would really be great if the 95 biz strike went the way of the 03-O where as soon as they were discovered & released the bottom fell out of the market but I doubt if the marketing dealers would allow that to happen.
