    If I crack out by PCGS 65's you think I might get a NGC 67??

    Might be worth a try.

    Perhaps so! Maybe 66s at the worst!

    I have two sets... may be 65-66s, but knowing my luck image

    I'll have to post a guess-the-grade later on!!

    Yea, I bought a few sets early and sold all but this one. Which means I got it for free. Sure wish I bought a couple of those ms67 sets. Oh well.

    Anyone have the Pop reports from PCGS??

    I wonder what that loan NGC MS68 would sell for?? It would have to be well over $10,000.

    I heard that there was an MS68 set, and that it sold for a lot back then when MS67 sets were $1099 each image

    Now... an MS67 PCGS set... that would be something there!!

    I guess I can answer my own question:

    PCGS # Description Desig 60 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70

    814033 2004-D Wisconsin Extra Leaf Low 125 195 240 315 400 1275 8250


    If a single Low Leaf MS67 sold for $8250, I guess a set from PCGS would go for about $16,000+.

    I had a set just like that, dang! I sold them for about a grand on eBay. I bought them raw for $207, PCGS graded them all at MS-66 and then I sent them to NGC. NGC graded them all at MS-67, it was a nice matching set.

    No, it's not a die crack.

    A lot of money for a gouged die. image

    These were caused by something which gouged or carved the die. It's unknown how this occurred
    but the mint has stated that it was inadvertant when something dropped into the press. Most people
    don't accept this explanation since there were apparently two and only two dies damaged and they
    were on the same press. It would seem that the odds of two mishaps appearing simultaneously and
    resulting in two very artistic renditions of leaves is improbable.

    Whatever the cause these are likely to be winners.

    Yep image
    I paid moon money for mine (~$225 for all 3, including the one worth $0.25 with no extra leaf) image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • And what does this variety have to do with any registry?

    The registry sets don't include these.

    There are some four or five thousand of each variety. Most are pretty nice with lots of
    MS-63's and MS-64's. Like most moderns they are rare in high grade.

    Back when they came out I gave a MS67 set to my office manager as a bonus. She just sold it for $6,500 and paid off her car! My advice was to sell it if she could use the money. Keep it if not. She's very happy!

    It sure would be interesting to see an acurate graph of the ebay prices over the past year!

  • Not to forget a couple things

    If the mint decides those were not authorized they could be seized.

    Also, the BEP issued an error stamp in the 60's anf then replicated it to make sure it wasnt rare !

    It's not impossible but it seems more likely they'd confiscate most of the 1804 restrike dollars or the 1913 V-nickels.

    I sold several of these sets as well as singles last year at far lower price levels. I'd bet my consignor is wishing he'd waited.

    BTW, the high bidder in this auction was one of my buyers.

    In 1994 the US Post Office created the Legend's stamps. One of the stamps was incorrect, the incorrect stamp featured Ben Pickett instead of Bill Pickett.

    The USPS allowed people to send in requests for the stamps and had a drawing to see who would get them. My brother and I both got a set.

    The bottom line is the Mint is here to make money, this creates interest, they won't be destroying or replicating anything !!


    Besides, the MS66 is only about $1200 for the set, so it's the high grade that is crazy. The others seem to be going for what they where when the craze started.

  • And if the Mint did try to seize these coins, think how fast they would disappear. My sets would be sent to a safe house in Costa Rica!!!
