    Wow, heck of a coin! I know nothing about them, but talk about a rarity from what I read on the Heritage site! Worth even more than my MS65 '32-D Washington quarter! image One thing is for sure, it's not a coin I will ever be able to own...unless I rob someone very rich! image

    If my memory is correct, I was there at the NY auction in 81' when it sold for around $495,000
    Is this a good return?

    I think it's a poor return,without doing some simple math.

    Why is the better coin reserved for half the price of the lower graded coin ?

    Perceived uniqueness because of the placement of the punch on the breast vs the wing.

    If it sells for $1M, then it is somewhere around 3%/year

    I was relieved to see that this coin qualifies for Heritage's "six months to pay plan."

    $2.3M with juice. It was an internet bid. So who is sitting in the livingroom in the boxer's placing $2,000,000 bids?

    << <i>$2.3M with juice. It was an internet bid. >>


    Wow, and on-line.
    This seems to me to be pretty telling of the short- to mid-term future of our coin market. I have to wonder that the "big" coins, those that are famous, infamous, condition rarities, &/or from very short mintages, are going to continue to bring suprising bids, while also-ran coins/conditions/mintages, etc., are left without so much attention, creating a market where one has to be even more circumspect.

    What about if it sells for $2 million? image

    Now $2.1M hammer with an hour or two to go before it goes off. I think this makes it the third highest price ever realized at auction behind the 1933 $20 and the Childs 1804 $1 - just eclipsing two other 1804's and the Eliasberg 1913 Lib nickel [the second time around].

    Legend was the underbidder at $2.5M ... on the other one, Laura never even managed to get her hand up before it exceeded $2M.

    The auction was well-attended. I didn't stay for the entire night, but saw some phenomenal prices. Besides the Brasher doubloons bringing $2.6 and $2.1 million, the Stellas (which were out of order in the catalog) brought $115k, $200k, $250k, $570k (for the 1879 coiled hair), $270k, $230k, and an astounding $850k for the 1880 coiled hair in PR66 Cameo. The 1833 Half Eagle in PR67 also fetched $850k; the 1835 Half Eagle $600k; the 1795 Eagle in MS64 $400k; and the 1839/8 Eagle in MS66 was hammered down at $350k. There were many other 6 figure coins. The Barber coins brought decent prices. Many lots were won by internet buyers, including the 1913-S quarter in MS68 at $150,000 and the 1904-S half in MS67 at $80,000. I'm not an expert in the Barber series, but it seemed that the halves brought stronger bids than the dimes and quarters.

    It was fun to watch. I just wish I could afford some of those coins!image I'm looking forward to the opening of the show Thursday morning.

    One hell of a price for that coin if you ask me. I would prefer a nice set of roosies. But to each his own. It is a nice example.
