    Yea, 5 figures to the RIGHT buyer, but that buyer would not be me.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I don't think they made any that would grade that high. Highest our hosts have graded are MS67.

    What would the market value be if third party grading did not exist?

    Lee's second coin is the same as the first.

    Some folks would pay big money for it if it were in the right plastic.

    I'm not one of those folks.

    Of course if it had a wheat ears reverse and a TPG authenticated it, then the sky's the limit.

    I disagree. The modern markets were coming along quite nicely before the grading companies ever
    started. It was far more difficult in those days to locate top quality because there were no grading
    companies and no internet but once you found one there was an eager market. I wouldn't say third
    party graders damaged the modern markets and in the long term they'll be good for the markets but
    it seemed to set them back. It seems to have delayed the natural tendency of collectors to always
    value newer and newer material. It's only the influx of new collectors made possible largely by the
    grading services and the internet that has worked to offset this delay.

    Simply stated the move into moderns is continuing apace especially in other countries. To the degree
    that coin collecting survives as a mass hobby it will occur in this country as well in almost all probability.

    The '59 cent is very common in gem and this will always serve to suppress the
    value in very high grade. This coin is even available without great effort in
    grades as high as MS-67. I've never seen one higher. The date was saved
    in massive numbers and tends to come nice. I only save it in MS-66 and higher.

    It would have to be in the right slab with the right sticker to sell for the big money. image

    I don't think that company would sticker a 1959 Lincoln. Too modern.

    Yeah, yeah. The '59 cent really is different than true moderns because it was saved in such
    vast numbers. For many practical purposes it's a modern since it is associated with moderns.
    It's part of the Lincoln memorial set which many do consider modern.

    Your point is taken. image
