    << <i>In a ll seriousness my point is that how do you value a coin where no price guides exist and there are only one auction price from approx 10 years ago for 2 of the 3. Yet dealer's will price these, but based on what? Pretty thinly traded. >>


    Realone, you know it's all about DEMAND and POPULARITY. Uniqueness and pedigree help, but the first two stand the test of time.

    If a collector wants a unique coin bad enough, he/she will poney up to buy it.
    OR, the owner can ask for stronger money which may not EVER find a buyer.
    Does this mean that the owner of said coin is outpricing the market? Not necessarily, it's just that he values the coin greater than anyone else!

    Price guides are essentially worthless - is there one for the art market?

    These are very cool coins!image But I have no idea what the value would be. I know for sure they're rare, and I would love to own any of them....

    I have no clue whatsoever on the CBDs, but a WAG on the Barber Half would be $7-10k if it showed its' face at Heritage.

  • i would guess as a trio - more then 100,000 $


  • << <i>i would guess as a trio - more then 100,000 $ >>



    I woulda guessed more like $20,000 - as a set. I guess that proves the point of the OP image

    I'd pay $1,000 for the two side Barber Half
  • lavalava Posts: 3,286 ✭✭✭
    These off-the-chart freaks might be assumed to go for big bucks, and I thought that myself when a freak came up for auction. I assumed it would go for moon money. It sold for around $200. I think I bid $2,500. I have enjoyed it ever since. Granted it is technically cleaned, but I don't think that accounts for the low bid. My guess is that people were focusing on other coins and it slipped through the cracks.
    I brake for ear bars.

    $1,000 Face value in Gold Buffalo .9999 ... more like it.

    I could see the Half going for 20K by itself to a well
    heeled collector.

    Realone - you're thinking of selling, huh ??
