Attention saintguru - a new classic coin for my set!

I just purchased a rare upgrade for my trade dollar set. Since it just crossed it's not yet on the pop report, so ignore the pop of zero.

    AWESOME,

    That's quite a low pop coin you have there image

    Congrats on the upgrade, your set(s) are always fun to browse when I'm bored or in the mood for some great looking coins.


    Always jealous, but always still collecting; having fun and love what I see.

    Congrats, TDN! With a set like that it is indeed one hell of an accomplishment to locate an ugrade.

    Yeh, there's only one more coin that is known for an upgrade.

    Good luck with that one TDN!!! image

    I know where it is.... I passed on chances to acquire it four separate times. It's ok, but doesn't have anywhere near the eye appeal of my current coin. Plus, my coin has the distinction of having been discovered in a safe deposit box in the city of my birth.
  • WOW TDN, it is gorgeous.

    Sweet. And fortunately for you it didn't land in the hands of the
    "darkside." for ransom.

    TDN: Nice!

    Why is this thread addressed to saintguru? I thought he was only into gold (or is this a private joke between you two)?

    TDN:

    What is the history behind your new acquisition?

    An upgrade, an acqusition then an upgrade? Neither Other?

    Any famed collection it came from?

    Costly, inexpensive, other?

    What was your previous coin and grade and what was the previous pop and was it previously tied with finest graded, etc.?

    HE/ME is pleased!! Nice!

    It's great when you think there's nothing left to do and an amazing opportunity arises! I'll have a new coin to show soon, as well. image

    It was NGC MS66 and crossed.

    Unknown. Wish I knew as I dearly love coins of great provenance!


    Costly, inexpensive, other?

    Significantly more than my MS65 is worth but a lot less than if I wasn't the one that got it crossed! image




    << <i>What was your previous coin and grade and what was the previous pop and was it previously tied with finest graded, etc.? >>



    My previous coin is a flashy white MS65+ that I acquired from Parrino about 8 years ago for $13k. That's about what it's worth today - very poor appreciation on gem trade dollars! It was a pop 3/0 ... curiously, another of the PCGS gem specimens is on the market right now!

    Gem trade dollars are still quite underpriced imo as type coins.
    Heck, compare them to bust halves in MS65 at about the same money for a type coin. PCGS MS65 busties outnumber the trades by 2.5 to 1. Sure, you can toss the proof trades into the mix I guess for total availability. But you can also state that 90% of the PCGS MS65 bust halves aren't techincally UNC (most are rubbed) while 90% of the trade dollars are technically GEM and UNC as well.

    For a pop 3 coin, $13K does seem somewhat cheap for a gem 73-s.

    That's because they have such small titties.image

    Heck, a pop 3 early Lincoln penny would be about three times that!!!!

    Congrats TDN, beautiful coin and got it crossed too.
  • Nice replacement! I like it very much.

  • I remember seeing that 76 toner in the 65 PCGS holder. 2 full point upgrade! don't see that very often.

    I agree it is the best toned TD out there.


    TDN
    do you know where the one upgrade you need is? will it be for sale anytime?
  • PQpeacePQpeace Posts: 4,799 ✭✭✭
    JB..nice to hear from you image


    The one upgrade is out there..
    1878-S MS68
    it was offered to me a few times..way too much money for what it looks like..IMO
    Last I saw ,Heritage had it on display either at Denver or Long Beach,
