Yes, you're missing what you think is missing in your comments.

58-Ps are extremely scarce in FBL and it's a 67 to boot. Gorgeous coin.

At least two folks obviously appreciated the toning on this top pop Franklin and were not afraid to express that appreciation in bid amounts. (Bidding War)

I guess I needed to login... So, PCGS price guide is $4,250 and this coin sold for $10,925. Who says toning doesn't pay?

Any coin can sell for multiples over price guide since all it takes is two determined bidders.

There is nothing as exciting as watching 2 nuclear snipes go off within seconds of each other.

There are probably dozens of 58 Franklins with nicer toning than that one. I think the price
was probably motivated by Registry points.

if you read the auction description you would have seen Rick Tomaskas comments

says it all

exceptional coin indeed

id really wanna see that in hand, pictures cannot do it justice and pics do not support designation

I think that coin (1958-P PCGS MS67 FBL) just showed up on the LOR PCGS #5 Registry Set of Franklin Circulation Strikes.

SkyMan

I didn't have a chance to see that one (that portion of the auction had already concluded by the time I got to Sacto). Given my known love for toned Franklins, and 1958 coins in particular, I've been offered MS67FBL '58's with IMO better toning than this for ~$5,000 in the last couple of years. IMO they had iffier FBL's than this one, but were still within reason for the slabbed designation.

I think everyone here has hit the nail on the head... 2 bidders going for Registry points. Hey, if they're happy with the coin, more power to them. In any case one would assume the seller is happy.

this is just stupid to spend this kind of money on such a coin.

.......Dahhhahhhaaaaaaaa, stupid is as stupid does

I pay stupid money all the time for Gem Franklins - and I are smart
