1881-S PCGS 65

1881-S NGC 65

Do the bidders think these are DMPL?

    Could just be a hopeful seller with really high reserves.

    TT has not a been a place to bargain hunt lately, personally speaking anyway....

    $525 for an MS65? Maybe they are trying to recoupe money they lost back in the late 1980's? Isn't that the price MS65s were selling for way back then? Does seem a bit odd. Maybe they are hoping for upgrades, and even at that, they are overpriced. Good luck to the winners.

    At that level it must be the owner's reserves.

    Even though Morgan prices are on the rise, those prices are at least 2x too high and don't make any logical sense.

    Between those and the 85-O 64s, I am convinced someone either stayed logged in on a public computer or a few people had their accounts hacked. It takes a couple bidders to do this right? Or does TT now bid one bidder against the reserve?

    A few of mine have bid too close to my anticipated max bids, but not outlandish like this.

    Not on Teletrade. Watch for these to end "not sold."

    Everything I see on TT that I like lately ends up going for about double of what I think it should.....

    Russ,what do you dip with to clear the haze?

    It could be that many of these bidders do not know that the 1881 S is one of the better struck common dates, and have never been to a large coin show. Next time you're in Baltimore or Long Beach , count the number of this date in plastic.
