Is this the one thats been cleaned???

claychaser · April 30, 2009 11:33AM

It's actually not that attractive but hey, I'll take it!

tradedollarnut · April 30, 2009 11:36AM

The 1876-CC twenty cent piece brought only $460k total - that's around a six figure loss for the consignor. The days of automatic increases for classic rarities appears to be over.

Ouch, I wonder if a dealer bought it with intensions of a large markup?

Placid · April 30, 2009 12:08PM

A WL half went for 218,500 with juice.

I was the underbidder. I figured at a little over $400k it was a decent buy.

does the 1804 dollar have a reserve where it might not sell tonight?

illini420 · April 30, 2009 12:28PM

hard to watch the auction with the Bulls in double overtime

High Healed East Coast collector loses about $700K on single coin investment...

How do you figure? If the consignor got less than 100% hammer i'd be shocked! Probably closer to 105% to 110% if the consignor knew what they were doing, especially considering the size of the consignment and the number of 'dream' coins. Consignor probably lost ~$350k to $400k if i had to guess, still not chump change! Ouch!

quickwing · April 30, 2009 11:10PM

Your of course right Speedy...considering the "total" consign value.

that is so anti-papparazzi.... but nice to read.

Congrats to John Albanese for acquiring the 1804.

notlogical · April 30, 2009 11:53PM

Congrats to Mr. Albanese!

I picked up this 1804 dollar 2 weeks ago at coin club for $1. Not bad for face value.

BECOKA · May 1, 2009 2:02AM

<< Congrats to John Albanese for acquiring the 1804. >>

Wow, nice pick up. Do you think it will get a CAC sticker? No joking I really want to know how well it was graded considering the power of this coin.

IMO, all certified 1804 dollars are two points too high.

Which means that CAC will be in question if it gets it?

The 1804 dollar will be up in about a half hour!
