not sure whos buying what, but a lot of people are paying 6 times what some items are worth......19.000.00 dollars for a 1948s washington quarter.......a 1936d buff just sold for...29,900.00...........and a common date 1938d buff sold for ..14,950.00....... but hey, if thats what they like and can afford it...........to the moon alice...........to the moon..........jackie gleason
OK, but how many of those buyers were buying what the seller inaccurately described as a "scarce" coin when, in fact, it is the common variety for the issue?
I don't see "scarce" in their description. Quoting:
Description 1939 5C PR67 PCGS. Reverse of 1938. A proof variant that shows the "wavy" steps on Monticello as seen in 1938. This is a truly Superb representative that has iridescent orange and rose accents about the borders contrasted with windows of brilliance in the centers.
And the ridiculous premium is for the toning.
But I agree.....She's a witch!!! BURN HER!!!!!

Look at my original message in the link. It was listed as scarce, until I e-mailed Heritage and it removed the word "scarce." By then, it had been run up to nearly $1,700 with the juice. And, in regards to the monster prices being paid for other coins, that was for purported condition rarieties -- not variety rarities that were misdescribed.
If I were running that auction I would cancel it and relist. The wavy steps are normal for '39 proofs. I paid much more for my '39 reverse of '40 in 66 than I did for my normal '39 reverse of '38 in 67.
