Heritage Price Level - Proof Nickels

badger

I was the under bidder on several of the 1950's proof nickels. These prices seem moderately strong. I'm glad to see interest and solid pricing although disappointed on not 'winning' some more coins for the registry set. Also ran on these.

1958 5c Pr68Dcam $8k (3/0) 1958 5c
1967 5c SMS Pr68Dcam $6k (1/0) 1967 5c


These are both key dates. I thought the 1958 was a reasonably good deal and a great coin.
I wanted the 1967, but it would expand my registry set post-1964. Not sure I have the $ for that. Also, not sure if the pop will stay stable. For now a pivotal coin.

I would suggest those are both very strong prices -- and very scare coins, as well. I have four complete Registry sets of early Jeff proofs and don't have the money invested in all of them that the 58 went for ... I think I can say there are not going to be many PR-68 DCAMs made for '58 ... and the '67 SMS coin as well, although I do not think it as tough as the '58.

Frankly, I'm surprised the 1967 SMS didn't bring more. If it were an SMS Kennedy with the same population profile, it would have brought between $15K and $20K.

BTW, that coin was made the first week of October last year.

That's why we Jeff guys slop around under the radar ... can't swing those pricey JFKs...

Badger,

That's okay, since you already have a nice 1967.

RGL - I agree that the 1958 pops look very steady. Also agree that the 1967 is a tough coin to make. These are key coins.

-- The difference in pricing between the top top pop and the next tier is staggering. Not sure what that means other than people are paying up for the top coins with excellent quality. Would like to see the second tier firm in pricing closer to the top.

Russ - had to go all the way to 68Dcam to get a coin that looks as good as the one in hand

Would love to take the credit for that one, but unfortunately...I can't. Congrats to the one that made it!
