Goose, I'll answer that... Dizzy really liked a coin he bought from me recently (a beautifully toned PCGS MS67 San Diego) and raved about it here, showing it multiple times. I didn't pay him or ask him to endorse it. And I would expect that it's no different when he posts other coins he likes, whether he owns them or not. Dizzy absolutely adores highly eye-appealing coins, and, whether forum members share his amazing enthusiasm or not, I believe him to be the straightest of shooters.
Edited to add: By the way, Goose, that was a question, not a "silly remark" from you.
Well, it's apparently not too over the top considering PCGS's price guide lists at $6500 and it is generally 15%-30% over average example values. A 30% premium for a coin this stunning is not what I would consider outrageous. And since PCGS's world series of coin trading has supposedly initiated an overhaul in the price guide, this valuation should be somewhat accurate. $6500 is actually less than 10% over our original purchase price. And for those who say that it's not in a PCGS holder so the price guide doesn't matter, go and compare this coin to ANY PCGS graded MS68 example and analyze the technical differences and then tell me which coin you would rather have (not which plastic you would rather have, which coin you would rather have). >>
I have to disagree, that you are using the (most-of-the-time overpriced) PCGS guide for an NGC coin. It it is just the MS68 white coin, who knows if it would sell for $800 to $2,000. No offense intended to you or the coin, though!
I still think that the coin LOOKS AWESOME!!

Thanks Mark. Yes indeed, it is simply my passion and appreciation for what nature has created on these little round silver treasures. ...and as far as being a "straight shooter"... I like to think so
it's obvious that you are a man of some means, what with all the nicely toned commems.
Would you honestly, seriously consider spending 6500 of your dollars, that you could put toward purchasing ANY OTHER COIN IN THE WORLD, into this mammoth of Washington?

Z, I'll be honest with you (as opposed to being dishonest) I think it's sort of an illusion of "smoke and mirrors". I am actually not a man of means anywhere near the sense that I believe you are thinking. I have been fortunate enough to be able to acquire some commems but my hobby collection growth is certainly very limited. If that were not the case, I would have started this original thread about that Washington quarter with, "Check out my newest pick-up". I've always felt, that if I were to win the lottery, as is probably the case with most of us on this forum, that coin dealers would certainly benefit big time! But to answer your question, as much as I the look of that Washington, if I was able to spend that kind of dough on a coin right now, it would be on a monster commem. On the flip side, if $ was no object, I would be taking my own of that Washington, as we speak.
Im with "CoinGuy" Dizzy loves the toners..I do to and that SanDiego was pretty cool as are virtually all of the commems diz posts...But $6500 for that quarter....GEE WHIZ...and no way... Bruce Scher ps..sometimes ya just gotta break the balls

Just as i thought, you'd take a "monster" commem over the "mammoth" quarter.
If it were truly mammoth, i can't imagine you wanting a "monster" anything else, (not to mention any available "moose").
