    Those are very cool. But how can a coin as available as this command those kinda prices. Oh well, I'll just have to keep dreaming.
  • flaminioflaminio Posts: 5,664 ✭✭✭
    Cool coin, but $30 for shipping? I mean, a bubble envelope is only like 20c and postage is no more than a dollar. The seller's making all their money on postage!

    If I spent $80,000 on a coin he better darn well insure it..$30.00 is a cheap insurance policy on that...

    Probably a lot of the original mintage, but not that many made to begin with. Don't have a redbook handy - 435 for the octagonal, something like that?

    A pair of these went through my local dealer just before I got into coins. They took pictures of it and just happened to be talking about them last week. That's one thing I like about the local guy. If/when he gets cool stuff in, he usually holds it until I get to see it whether or not its for sale.
  • FatManFatMan Posts: 8,977 ✭


    << <i>How many of those exist? >>

    Although the mintage is only 645, most are known to exist. Heritage has probably offered 10 of these in the past year alone.

    Linkified for your protection.

    If I ever spend $80,000 on a coin, I'm spending another couple hundred for a plane ticket to go fetch it personally.

    I read an article in a coin mag several years ago where the author interviewed a mint worker from the 1930's. He was there during the melting of US gold coins turned in after the recall. He said he remembered melting several Pan Pac $50 slugs. image

    << <i>How much gold do they contain? >>



    Almost 2 1/2 ounces or equal to five $10 gold coins.

    Yep, they minted 1500 and then melted 855 for a net mintage of 645 cause they couldn't sell all of them. They do seem to bit a more popular today.image

    Edited to add: oops, I see you are talking about the recall after 1933. That would not apply to the original mintage. However, the pops suggest that most are still around. PCGS-454 & 402-NGC

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that the pops are worthless but I content the numbers show this is not a rare coin.
