<< This is a superb coin with proof like fields and only the slightest cabinet rub on the high points. >>

Well, it's a proof, but they didn't make them with hairlines and rub. I'd be willing to bet that coin is a perpetual 'body bag' at the Big Three.....well, ANACS might net it out at under PF60.......but FDC?

GET REAL!!

But how much would you pay for liteside coinage of that year and grade?

I'd show mine but everyone would throw tomato's at me since they've seen them twenty times...

MacCrimmon · April 1, 2005 4:52AM

I never complain about 'EYE CANDY'!!

BTW, I'll pay you $4000 for that PF66 Goth!!

Not that you'd appreciate such a magnanimous offer......

Are the Gothic Crowns overpriced compared to rarity? Aren't they somewhat like the US 1909-S VDB cents? That is, readily available but expensive considering how many were minted. Any thoughts on this?

You are correct, wise teacher.

That's what I'm beginning to understand about these... My numismatic friend from Sweden was visiting for a couple weeks with his wife and he sat here for a half hour deep breathing while he viewed the two I own. He, like I, both feel the PR64 has more eye appeal than the PR66.

Uh, Mac, I might be convinced to sell the 64 for $4K? heh heh

I presently don't have any liteside earlier that 1879 and didn't pay near as much. Could get one or two CC Morgans for the asking price of the crown.

Well, geez, man... you're looking at Gothic crowns! One of the grandaddies of popular Darkside coins!

Cacheman- go ahead and show off a little. I promise not to throw tomatoes. It'll be a pleasant break from all the Goetz stuff.

cacheman · April 1, 2005 6:20AM

Hey, you bad-maoffin' me Goetz?

laurentyvan · April 1, 2005 8:49AM

Hey, you bad-maoffin' me Goetz?

Nooo, not really. LordM rarely badmouths anyone.

But that damn Gothic crown is just so beautiful-show it!

lordmarcovan · April 1, 2005 9:56AM

I'll forgive a little Goetz madness for a while, if you post some nice cityview thalers. Yum.

That first one looks cleaned, even without the confirmation given in the description.

No way I would touch an uncertified Gothic Crown. I've seen too many raw ones with hairlines, including harshly cleaned ones.

Now that 64 cache has, that's a beaut!!

cacheman · April 1, 2005 10:06AM

okay, you talked me into it...

MacCrimmon · April 1, 2005 10:11AM

$4000!!

Pocket change! OK, make it $5555 for the 64 and the 66.
