Mike is this the same coin that sold at the 2005 February Long Beach Signature Sale #366 Link for $1380?

Leo,
Yes it is, so what's your point? I think you also should have mentioned the others that have sold in Heritage auctions! How about the one that sold for $2760 which I also own!
Bye the way thanks for the link, now it makes it easier for the people on the forum to view the coin

Hi guys, I agree what is the point of pointing out that Mike got a great deal. I have bought coins from Leo before and I respect him and his opinion, but if I buy a coin, I feel what the seller paid for it is his business not mine. If Mike has it priced to high the market will let him know he made a mistake. Perhaps I am unqualified to discuss this matter as I am a cronic buyer and infrequent seller(much to my wifes dismay) but lets say that I inherited a coin that my father paid 20.00 dollars for in 1945. Is that relevent to what I attempt to sell it for now? I know this example is absurd but the point is the same. We don't ask Wal-mart what they paid for a box of Tide. We either buy or pass on the product based on the current offerd price. In closing I must say that I appreciate the fact that Leo may be using the price he paid as a basis for the price he asks when selling a coin. As I mentioned previously, I have bought coins fro Leo and the were fairly priced and some of the finest Jefferson nickel I have ever purchased. I love the Forums because it is a perfect meeting place for all the differing views of a group of the finest individuals around. thanks Don/Mademan and very pleased customer of Leo

As a buyer, it is meaningless and irrelevant to me what the seller paid for it. If he makes a profit, good. If he loses his shirt, that's too bad. Either way, my sole concern is to get a coin at a price I'm willing to pay.

As a Jeff collector, however, when it came time to put a 1946-P in my collection I opted for a PCGS MS66 non-FS for the princely sum of $25. I don't miss the steps at all.

What someone paid doesn't make much difference to me either as long as I'm not the buyer! lol The Heritage pictures showed much more detail then the pic Mike sent me. I wanted to confirm my hunches and Mike the seller did just that. There are several reasons, I don't want to go into, why coins sell at large differences, the main reason is the quality of one coin over another. In this case, the pics of the $2800 coin made it look like a better quality coin then the one that was up for sale. Bottom line, it didn't look like an upgrade for me, so I passed. I'd post some pictures here to do a comparison but it's too time consuming and there would not be much interest here to do so. And getting pictures to upload here is not an easy task but I may do a report over at the NGC forums.
The Heritage pictures showed several marks on the reverse that included some nicks is the shape of a plus sign above the left side of the Monticello, marks/nicks that could not be seen in the pics Mike sent me. And vise-versa, there were some noticeable nicks in Mike's picture that could not be seen in the Heritages pics.
The registry only accounts for 6 1946 MS66FS coins and Mike had two others. There are either 7 other coins out there or the pops of 15 at this grade is wrong due to resubmissions, someone trying to upgrade. So the pops are likely closer to 9 or 10 coins then what the pops show IMO.
I'll try to find out as much as I possibly can about a coin and again, there are several reasons why one coin will sell for twice the amount over another at the same grade.
From all the pictures, the coin was not an upgrade for me.
The strikes for all 3 coins were similar, less the full IMO.
Congrats on the sale!
