What?!? AU-58 way more than MS-64???

Check out these prices for these 1909 Lincolns:

1909 PCGS AU-58 Stupid bidding

1909 PCGS MS-64 Seems reasonable, plus better looking than that AU-58

Is this a mistake or stupid money chasing that AU-58 designation?

Money aside, I like the look of that AU58.

I think a nice 58 can blow a mediocre 64 away.

No way that's worth $150, AU58 or not. Dirt common coin. Maybe someone thinks its an MPL? Mistaken reserve?

True, but in this case no way. That is just a regular AU-58, nothing less, nothing more. Like others, I've seen lots of other stupid bids out there, most likely hidden reserves.

It does have the die chips between the wheat stalks and the rims but doestn't look mpl to me either.

Based on photography alone, I prefer the 58, no question.

I see those chips and I can also convince myself I see the die scratch from the back of Lincoln's coat to TY. Not enough to convince myself to buy.

As I see it, a "mediocre" MS-64 should be valued significantly higher than the best AU-58. There is no comparison, as they are in completely different categories.

high sellers reserve


a rather nice strike it seems to me

sinin is correct.
Its the sellers reserve. the 58 did not end up selling and with good reason.
teletrade has a very tricky way they do their auctions. Do a search on this board for "only realized" all the info you need.
