AU50 1955 Doubled Die

I haven't been in the market for one of these in awhile, but the price on this one seemed right. ...Right?

I looked at the PCGS Price guide and it doesn't list any cents in AU, but shows $1,150 for EF

Since the sellers offers no refunds I guess you'll learn to like it, or find somebody who likes it more than $500

Pat, CDN bid, even in just "Good", is $600. So, unless the coin is a fake or badly damaged in some way, or unless the seller doesn't deliver what he advertised, it appears that the buy was a (pun intended) "good" one.

Many people stayed away because of the small pic. Even if it is XF-40, you got a steal!

It's in an old PCI slab, so you can figure (1) it's genuine, and (2) it grades at least AU50. It may even be a bit nicer in person, you know the book on the 10-digit PCI holders. I say it's a nice snag.

<< <i>(2) it grades at least AU50 >>

That is never a given no matter what company holder it is in.

It sat for about 14 hours with only a single bid (didn't tap the reserve...).

I BIN'ed it without even checking the price guides. I'm hoping the scanner (instead of a digital photo) is 'hiding' luster and this one will NGC at AU53 or so.

I am surprised it lasted almost a day. Seller had that WAY underpriced. MAJOR RIP!!

nccoin · October 25, 2004 5:24AM

Don't be surprised if the seller tries to back out of this one.

You got a great coin at a steal of a price.

merz2 · October 25, 2004 6:53AM

Th old PCI holder should tell you volumes.Like sean said,it is real and probably AU50.Even if XF45 someone got a deal IMHO.

goose3 · October 25, 2004 8:17AM

You stole that Pat.

THIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coinhusker1 · October 25, 2004 8:29AM

Nice rip! Let us know how it looks when you get it in hand.

Wolf359 · October 25, 2004 11:00AM

Total steal. Sweet!

darktone · October 25, 2004 11:06AM

I wonder- is this the well known doubled die variety or one of the less dramatic and less valuable varieties? mike

oreville · October 25, 2004 2:45PM

Oh, oh,

Braddick will want to wear this one down anyway to AG-03 for his set.

Even at that price if the doubling is still clear, would still not be worth much less than the price paid.

Probably a real rip.
