Old QDB seems very spry for his age, and so does this dime!

1775, 2 known

    Mighty large price tag for something that just does not get me very excited.
    I guess the most amazing thing about it is the price tag for such an error that
    appears to be quite limited in discoveries.

    WOW! Glad I don't do proofs anymore! I had a 1970 proof no "S" and sold it.

    Don't do proofs......had to draw a line somewhere.image

    On one hand, with 2 known, you could argue that this coin is better than a 1913 Liberty nickel. On the other hand, you could argue that there might be 10 more sitting in someone' safe deposit box undiscovered in a proof set, right where they've been since 1975. There is some downside risk for the owner of this coin.

    It would have to be a 1775 dime to get me to pay $350,000 for it. image

    I agree, there could be many more lurking.


    The 1913 nickel has alot of history and hype behind it. I wonder how the price of this coin compares to the value of a 36 year old 1913 Liberty nickel in 2011 dollars?

    Interesting that Louis Eliasberg purchased his nickel in 1948 from Abe Kosoff and Eric Newman. I can't find what he paid for it, but it sold for $1,840,000 in 1996.

    Why not?

    It is one of a kind and there ARE two of the 1975 No S Roosevelts.

    Been that way for 40 years which is longer than the 1975 No S Proof Set (36 years).
