Amazing Cent


I have never seen obverse detail like this even on some of the Unc specimens!

Easy,

LanLord

Yowsa, that's a nice chain.

Wondo

I see that it was won in a Heritage auction in May for $69k.

RYK

Me, three.

That Chain Cent is so high grade that it's almost pretty

Tell ya what- I'll arm-wrestle you for it.

Saw it in NY last week--gorgeous coin!

GaCoinGuy

Maybe it's just my computer, but I don't see anything on that coin to keep it from an MS grade. What am I missing?

There is wear on the highest point of the obverse design (hair).

AuldFartte

Awesome Chain. I'll take ANY Chain I can get, but they are real pricey, even in AG

Nice coin! I'll bet it will go for WAY more than the starting bid... Way more!

I would not count on it.

Perhaps a (large) group of us could buy it together. We could each have it for a couple weeks and pass it along to the next person. That way, we can all feel like we own it without having to swallow it whole.

RYK,

Are you volunteering to chair the club? I'm in for 1/100 ownership!

RYK

I will chair it. I guess we could sell proportional chairs. I was thinking more on the order of 1/50 th shares.

LincolnCentMan

Cost to rent that baby is $205 a day.... lol. The problem with 1/50th shares is that that would put each share at 7.3 days ownership per year. Figure three days on average in the mail to the next guy... your $1500 will net you about four days (optimisticly).

This is assumbing the third or fourth guy in line doesnt get greedy and skip the country with it.

Wondo

Now that Laura's back, perhaps she can reccomend some creative financing.

Ryk,

We may have to move it to 1/12 shares (monthly). It can tour like the Stanley Cup!

I do not know about you, but when I buy a coin for $6250, I expect to have the whole coin to myself.
