Here's another example. PCGS price guide is $1600 in 67 and $2500 in 67+.

This one hammered for $8000+

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    I thought that coin was beautiful, but couldn't get past the light fingerprint on the obverse right.

    I thought that one was ok, but not at that price... after seeing that price I like my NGC MS65 CAC that I picked up in the auction for under $200!

    The phrase 'irrational exuberance' comes to mind.

    Someone took a big leap of faith on that one..a pretty but not monster coin. MS 67s can be found for under $1200 now, and 68s are 20K coins only if they have monster color, so I guess some collectors are seeing the + as a .5 added to the grade? Call me ASAP Heritage, it's time to sell the hoard if this hysteria holds up! LOL

    I'm not a commem guy, but when I look at that coin I just don't see 8 grand.

    Over 25 years collecting tone coins and over 50 years of coin
    collecting I can not understand why these coins bring such a
    high premium.

    I do not believe even a madman like myself would have spent that kind of money

    for that particular coin. But each must make their own decisions ans I will not

    criticize the buying actions of another collector. After all, we are all a little crazy.

    100 years and he will be showing a profit. However , when you fall madly in love with a coin,

    it is the same as falling madly in love with a beautiful woman.you lose all perspective and

    sanity.I know, from the first instant I saw Mrs Bear, I was a total goner.image

    For a Stone Mountain, I think someone paid more than they will ever get back for it. I love toned commems and I'm, obviously, all for them...but that one didn't really impress me as being worth the premium.

    Nice looking coin but for me not 8k however it did take more then one to tango and get that coin to the sale price.

    I would say that they have been doing well. Here is one that sold for almost $14K last year.
