1894 S and the World Series of Trading

Can anyone here view the 1894 S Barber dime in their PCGS World Series watch list? There have been several coins which show on the price guide but that aren't available on the watch list for purchase. I say this because I checked prior to Legend making its recent purchase knowing that these would probably go up. They did indeed go up in all grades, yet I couldn't actually add them. This has happened on several other more common coins ($3 gold). I really need to know to sooth my seething, that I'm not the only one who can't see this line item, even if the available number for purchase is zero.

    I can get the brnach mint proof in 64 to show. $1.5M each... wonder if I can buy 2 bits of it?

    And in 65 and 66....

    Too late, SaintGooGoo already got the profit off of these...
  • I'm just upset, because there are several coins that didn't even give me the option to buy weeks ago! I spoke with some of PCGS IT folks, but they weren't able to come up with anything. And this just makes it hurt even more.

    Check out a screen shot from my watch list. Notice how it says the coin is already in my inventory, yet there is no line for it? (even if the quantity available is zero!)

  • It sucks when you can't buy the rare coins you actually own image Not the 94-S other coins.

    Read more carefully...it says they are on your watch list....with none available. You think you're the only one who misses coins? image

    I bought these on 9/28. Stacks ran an ad in CW with a preview of this coin and the 1876-CC .20 piece. You were snuffed out by more than a few weeks.

    Whoa Mr. SaintMan, no need to be testy... First of all, my original question was not a whine about not having been able to buy the 1894 S. If you read the screenshot, no where does it say that there are none available. Usually when you pick a coin from the price list and none are available for purchase, it will show the coin's details and then show a zero quantity. I thought that that's why its called a watch list, so you can watch for coins to become available. Notice how there are no details on that screen shot. That's my complaint, that several coins I've tried to add don't show up at all. Second, I was posting here to see if anyone had had any similar issues. A previous thread had mentioned something about this with others and I wanted to know if they had been able to resolve their problems. So, respect to you for acting quickly, but my original question still stands
  • Okay,

    Now I feel foolish... I just figured out why this was happening. Even though there is a link to the "MS60" and "MS63" coins, I just realized that there are no PCGS graded MS60 and MS63 coins. This must have been what had happened previously with the other coins, that there is a link to the coin in the price guide, it flashes the message that the coin is on my watch list, but doesn't actually show up because none exist in actuality. Sorry for the false alarm


  • Hmmm?

    I have a number of coins in my watch list with 0 available. I will give the dime a try and see what happens.

    TDN,

    I don't think it was St, G. that was lucky enough to pick up the 94-S proof. I think it was Dennis?

  • I was wrong, It was Richardshipp. image

    The dimes do show up in my watch list though.

    I usually have had that happen when it is for a grade that has a 0 population. Sometimes PCGS has a price but no pop. But I did have a couple that did have a pop of 1 but came up the same as yours. If you are getting it on all the grades of the 94s there must be a glitch.
    good luck
