Is ANY price too much for this coin?

The eventual buyer will either flip it for 10% immediately or enjoy it for a few years and then flip it for 10% or keep it forever - I don't see how you can go wrong buying this for any price.

Is ANY price too much for this coin?

I am sure its too much for me.

Opening bid is $200 large. That's just a bit out of my league. It's a stunner, though.

That is a magnificent coin. It is surely almost condition unique.

The question one must always ask is, can I get another such coin.

At what price would the new coin be available.For a coin like that ,30%, 50% above the listed

price would seem livable. Much more then that, I would have to take a deep look inside my pockets.

Thanks for sharing this. Simply breathtaking! Now, this is numismatics at its best!

Dr. Koshkarian focused on coins of remarkable actual quality, including strike and original surfaces, rather than high technical grades...

Isn't it amazing that such a strategy can actually lead to positive results for the owner?

EARRINGS?

I don't know, a couple of stars are flat on this one, may not even be an AU!

$200 large will likely be a bargain. How about $350K to $500K??

Brian: a little low..... that's a seven figure coin these days!

TDN: well I least I can dream......always better to buy low right? I see your point. The best of the best in any early series is getting to the MILL mark more often. And this type is probably the rarest US TYPE coin. A classic.

Baley

an absolutely spectacular pair of coins, certainly very close to unique and probably $2M for the pair is not too much.

TDN - I wasn't aware of the Bowers coin until your post. Wow.

I suspect the Norweb coin with its provinance will go for more - at least I would pay more for it.

I'm guessing ANR's sells for 1.3 million, while Bowers doesn't meet its reserve.

That's a very nice coin. My guess is at least 1-1.5 million...

This is a lot like guessing the auction price on a rare old Master's Painting.

While their are educated guesses, no one really knows untill the bidding

is over. You get several very wealthy patron who wants a beautiful trophy, who cares

if its 1million, 2 million or 21/2 million. Money is sometimes not a consideration at

all to some people.It would make a difference to a dealer, unless they were buying for a client

or the coin was presold.

Just so everyone can see the photo and complete description as it appears in the ANR Haig Koshkarian catalogue, the website page is here.

I was fortunate enough to help describe this coin, and to examine it while raw. It is a truly amazing piece. Anything that was considered a highlight in the Norweb cabinet is bound to be the highlight in whatever other collection it graces!

The catalogues will hit the mail this week for those on the ANR mailing list.
