    Hey YN,

    I admit it, Roosevelt never looked better.

    How much does on like that go for?

    I don't know, but here is the thread where the coin is being discussed.

    Is $22,500 a fair price for that Pine Tree??

    Colonial coinage is so historic and beautiful. It's also reasonably priced given the scarcity. However, like all coins it is a terrible "investment" and probably more so than other series because the coins LOOK old and not a whole lot of collectors gravitate to them. If you are going to tie up serious money [50K+] in a series I would lean towards those which are more liquid and followed. Other than that I like your coin and dabble in Washington colonials. Maybe one they will take off?

    Lakesammman -

    This coin sold in Jan 2002 for something like $10K in Stack's Americana sale - so $22.5K is a bit optimistic. But its available for much less.

    Its likely in the top 5 in the condition census - and a pretty nice example.

    Who knows, it might end up being the same price as that Roosevelt.

    That would be quite a markup. Since the FUN show is coming and cash flow is important, now might be a good time to make an offer??
