Does this BIN seem high to anyone?

    You could always make an offer for a lower price. $154,196,109 - $162,311,693

    Hmmm....Now I'll have to decide whether or not I want to buy this or that Carribean nation I've had my eye on! image

    Maybe it's a Legand coin!!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Somebody should buy it and then say it was a listing error. That's what would happen if it were priced at $1. I like to see understanding go both ways.

    If it were superior I would have already hit the BIN button just to get their response.

    Seems about right. I can't even imagine what else you could buy with a 100MM.image

    In principle, I agree, but no one (and rightfully so) would risk it. While it would be an impossible thing to hold someone to, it's not, IMHO, worth the aggravation. Let the fact that no one touches the nickel be their hint that something's wrong with the BIN.

    Edited to Add:

    Since they had a "Report a problem with this item/page" link, I submitted the following:

    You currently have a 1964 PCGS DCAM Jefferson nickel listed at $178,225,000.00. A DCAM Jefferson nickel from 1964 is worth ~ $70.00 at PF68. I therefore believe this listing to be in error. I hope you can fix it in time to make the sale.

    Regards,

    Brian Hartman

    The Heritage coin is a 1964 PCGS DCAM-69, so it could be worth $178 million even though a DCAM-68 is only worth $70. Doesn't everyone on the Boards know that the moderns go way up in value for another grading point? image

    Well, yeah, but a $178,224,930 difference seems just a tad excessive! image

    wow, blatant error
  • bhartman35bhartman35 Posts: 1,398
    Anyone have any idea how such an error can take place? Could the nickel be occupying the space meant for the Brasher doubloon? image

    Hi, Everyone.

    I just received the following e-mail concerning this item:

    "Mr. Hartman,

    I have contacted our Director of Numismatics to determine a less ridiculous price for this item. Thank you for bringing the pricing error to our attention.

    Brian Koller
    Heritage Cataloger"

    We'll see what it comes in as after the catalog is updated. image

    Nah. If they did, there would've been a buxom young lady in the photo. image
