I haven't seen a "hypothetical" in a while...........

longtimecollector · July 31, 2008 6:52AM

So I'll pose this one.............

You're offered 2 coins..............

one is a 20XX Widget in MS69 (modern era coinage).............

one is an 18XX ultra rarity in G4 (around 50 known in all grades).................

They are priced at the same level...................

Which gets your more serious atention ?????????

dizzyfoxx · July 31, 2008 6:53AM

The 18XX ultra rarity in G4 all day long IMO.

GFourDriver · July 31, 2008 6:58AM

Depends, I'm not a big fan of of any coin in G-4 condition but I would take it over a modern MS/PR 69 unless it was one of the UHR "Saints" coming out next year, In that case I would be all over the saint.

With any 20XX widget there is alwayse a good chance that the POP could go up due to more submissions. That would be a lot less likely with a 18XX ultra rarity making it IMHO a lot better buy!

garsmith · July 31, 2008 7:13AM

The G4 all day long - most of the moderns values are falling while classics are going up.

The G4 and then trade for Common pieces in quantity. I think this is the only logical answer, but I am not sure... Respectfully, John Curlis

Of course, I'd choose the 18XX ultra rarity in G4...easy decision.

It would have to depend on the actual coins under consideration. If the MS69 was an AGE and the G04 was some early NJ copper with some obscure variety, I'd take the MS69 since it would be far easier to sell or trade for coins that I really want. Anyone agree or disagree? Am I way off base in my logic?

lasvegasteddy · July 31, 2008 4:47PM

g4 just doesn't do it for me...oh well...at least there is no right or wrong here

500Bay · July 31, 2008 8:08PM

for me it is easy: 18XX ultra rarity in G4 (around 50 known in all grades)

true rarity always wins out (for me)

lcoopie · August 1, 2008 12:01AM

longtimecollector- Point well taken

I need a real rarity

ricko · August 1, 2008 12:09AM

Decisions, decisions... what will I do?? Can I have both? Are either Gold? Gold is good.. gimmen gold... yeah, that's the ticket. Cheers, RickO

I agree.

Also, I'm not sure you would even find an "ultra rarity ... with only 50 known" in a desirable series for the price of a common MS69 widget. So that would restrict you to a more esoteric choice in the classic coin.

tahoe98 · August 1, 2008 3:24AM

......i think i would choose the G-4.............probably wouldn't spot in the future...

But....what if dealer A meets dealer B to discuss coin 1....and dealer C wants to trade coin 2 to dealer A, but it offends dealer B because he wants...............

jmj3esq · August 1, 2008 3:49AM

No doubt about it the 18XX rarity every day of the week. Any other answer would be just dumb.

Next, would you rather have sex, or have one of your nostrils twisted off with some pliers?

X times anything that anyone else might say. And double that.

renman95 · August 2, 2008 7:57AM

I will go counter trend and take the 20XX (e.g. Cheerios Sac) in MS69 over a G4 whatchamacallit!
