    I dig the coin and would pay full MS-65RB Trends for it. For those who do not have Trends handy, that's $30. I would break it out and put it in my 7070. image

    Sorry, but I just don't believe toning like that is worth the huge premium it commands.

    I must apologize to Dave99B, for putting down the coin, since he didn't ask for opinions.

    But, I'm still sick and twisted.image
  • I'd easily pay $200 maybe a little more for that coin but at $1750 you would have to include me among the sick and twisted image

    I'm not sick and twisted. image I like it enough to pay maybe $30.

    I don't see a VDB on that coin. You sure it's there?

    I tracked that lot and had to look very close that there was not a S




    the price had me thinking mislabeled

    When that coin went up for auction, I put in a "stupid" money bid of $400. Unfortunatly for my collection, there were deeper pockets that were even more "stupid" than me. Shortly after the sell, I saw it in person at a coin show with a even "stupider" price on it. It's a real jaw dropper.

    Great coins are not cheap,and cheap coins are not great!
  • etexmikeetexmike Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭
    I like the coin alot.

    Would I pay $1750 for it? No!

    But, that doesn't stop me from appreciating it. Very nice Lincoln even without the VDB.

    Call me sick and twisted, but I would consider a nice brilliant red one a widget. To each their own.
    Would I pay that kind of money for that coin? Nope.
