    Do a search on Heritage. I only keeps records on R5 or better. Teletrade probably has some too.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    I took a look at the Heritage archive & found these:

    Sept/05- PCGS MS62 $1035

    July/05- NGC MS62 $1610

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Michael's $1375 figure sounds like a really solid average between those two Heritage prices. A heck of a good average price to use.

    Agreed.

    duiguy,

    now is that coin part of a series you collect?

    bg-blah blah... sounds like a lot of different variations.

    will you stop with just one? try for an earlier piece next time? 1852? 1851?

    just curious.

    Congrats on the win and coin. Looks like a neat gold piece.

    Can't promise that I will stop with just one but odds are yes . These are a bit cost prohibitive. (sp?)
