Keets seems to think that'd be a problem, Laura. Go right ahead.

    Just make sure your kid doesn't ask if they can take some change to buy ice cream.

    Please send me the cert (I'll never own the coin, but the cert would be way cool).

    if you crack it, send me the plastic.

    then I could say that I owned the plastic that once contained a 1913 nickel!imageimage

    Crack it out and consign it to me. I will put it on ebay under my account and see how high it goes. I will waive the commission. image

    just don't clean it - it loses, how do you say, it's cachet.

    With the way grading is, the grade would probably go up.

    I don't know, I might only will be willing to spend 4.14M if I thought there was a chance it might only come back PF65 the next time I sent it in...

    After you crack it out, get the slab shards slabbed and then sell them on eBay.

    That's one of those coins where the grade is pretty much irrelevant, and even though there is a PCGS registry set for which it's included, it only has a weight of 10, while the rest range from 1 to 3.

    Actually, this thread seems to indicate the coin and the cert are worth more separated than together. I certainly would toss a bid at the cert myself.

    If I owned it, I would never crack it out of its' holder. It just might not make it back into one.imageimage

    i knew i'd take some heat for that post, but consider the following:

    the coin is cracked out and offered for sale by a dealer with noones knowledge of it's pedigree, it's just a 1913 Liberty Nickel. would you take the dealers word for it that the coin is genuine?? would you still plop down $4 million for it?? would you even give it more than a cursory glance in the showcase??

    No doubt! image

    Excellent point. Without PCGS backing up the coin's authenticity, $4 million would be a stretch. A very big stretch.

    I disagree. I think it's worth about a hundred buck less without the plastic (or whatever it is they charge for slabbing mega-rarities).

    There are several characteristics on that nickel that match up to prior descriptions to that coin, so proving its authenticity would not be a problem.

    That nickel would be worth the same, if not more without its holder.

    LOL. It would sell wholesale for well over $5M ... raw.

    No, but then I wouldn't plop down 10% of that even in the holder either. It's not worth it--at least to me for an illicit coin. I would, however, pay the same amount holdered or not...just as I do for any other coin I buy.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    I thought I was the slab collector here? Now we have several other people wanting to buy the slab.
