i am curious what this sells for. it will tell me a bit about
my area. interestingly enough, it is at the pcgs price guide.

nice coin.

maybe the coin is not as nice as one of the 11 MS63s?
anyone own one by chance?

Looks like Heritage's pics.

He ("rareland") gets some amazing prices on some (most?) of his stuff.

Wonder if it has anything to do with the "private" auctions he runs.

Even at pop 1/0, there still might be enough to go around for those that collect the series by date and mintmark in unc.

Same coin realized $6900 at Heritage Jan 06 FUN Sale.

if it goes for more than 10,000 i will be shocked.

i would never stretch for that date.

well that was boring. pcgs price guide was almost like the
reason it hammered for what it did.

it gave someone confidence.. when in reality.. it may very well
have been a bad purchase unles you have viewed several ms63s...

It was probably a fine purchase. PCGS is usually brutal when they grade a potential top-pop piece like that. Based upon other similar S-Mint $5s (PCGS Pop=1/0) I have handled, I would guess it is probably closer to a 65 than a 64. Based upon the raw 78-S $5 (which was a lock 65) that brought $13,500 + the juice this month, somebody must be buying pop 1/0 PCGS S-Mint $5s.
