    Maybe this will wake the Bear up.

    Thanks Russ. I have not seen this coin on the market for two to three years.

    MONSTER "make" there Todd. I'd say about $4.200. Though this Registry thing can get out of control. You may get REALLY lucky at next year's FUN auction. That is where I would take it, were I in your shoes. image

    To be truthful. We are waiting for the finalization - but believe it will stand.

    Yea DCAM, I had a coin at the fun auction I would have been happy to sell directly to a customer for $1,500. It brought $4,200 and I was really happy. Told my wife about it and the next thing I knew we had a new couch. Easy come, easy go and I need to keep my mouth shut.

    You get your grades before they are finalized?

    Jeff-

    Just for fun one day go through 100 1971 proof sets and let me know how many DCAM nickels and halves you find. The probablity is very high it'll be a big fat ZERO. I wonder how many tens of thousands of proof sets were looked at to find those 7 coins.

    Ditto. Whenever I hear comments such as Jeff's about the '71 proof coins, I know it's coming from somebody that has little experience with that year. There's a reason there are only four nickels in 69DCAM and only 17 halves in 69DCAM. They are very close to impossible to find.

    Beyond the fact that two sided cameos are virtually non-existent, the year is plagued by all kinds of other problems, most notably rampant planchet flaws. The mint was VERY lousy in 1971.

    Wasn't that the year that Panama Red came back in town?

    Who was Panama Red?

    Edited to avoid potential derailment.

    Panama Red thread moved to Open Forum.

    I have one too. If they are worth $4,200 I should put my whole Jeff set on auction!

    Does your new one make mine worth more or less? image

    Send it to PCGS and let's see what happens. On coins like this what you think is a 69DCAM often isn't.

    Someone already did. Carl's got it in his set.

    OK, I feel like a "know it all" and have been put in my place.

    I don't know if it makes it worth more, the same or less.
  • BNEBNE Posts: 772 ✭
    It all comes down to supply and demand. If there is pent-up demand for a relatively rare coin, the fact that a new one is made and comes on the market shouldn't significantly reduce the value of the remainder. If everyone decided to dump at once, the price for each of them would likely be lower.

    There are one or two collectors image who need this coin, and they don't come up often.

    I couldn't resist. I remember from a year or two ago Carl mentioning that he had one of the three graded in his set. You going to be at Grapevine in a few weeks?

    The last PR69DCAM 1971-S Kennedy that came up went for $3627, and the pop on them is better than four times that of the nickel.

    Thanks for the link Keith! I appreciate you remembering that.

    I bought a bunch of low population Jeffs several years back. At the time I was thinking more will be made and I might be wasting money. Todd here is the first one to make a top '71-S in many years (Congrats!). All my 50s DCAMs increased too, but only by 1.

    I'm not in first place anymore but at least I have one that BNE doesn't have yet!! I just love the early camoes he does have.
