LeeBoneLeeBone Posts: 4,479 ✭✭✭✭✭
As I know nothing of this series, any help would be greatly appreciated.
What would be a fair maket value, Buying AND Selling of a 2000 Sac $ PCGS MS65 Wounded Eagle FS-901 Variety?

    To me ... $1.

    The variety only gained popularity because of where the die gouge is. Same thing happened with the speared bison variety some years later. The location of the die gouge is the ONLY reason why. Before that variety caught on, the coin would fetch around $25 to $30 on eBay. Then, once the services started putting a name on the label, all of a sudden, it became worth a few hundred. Prices have since come back down to earth, but still overpriced. A die gouge in any other location is just that, a die gouge worth nothing.

    I know the current prices have kept me from getting one.

    Although many of the BINs on eBay list it at much more I'd think anywhere between $400. and $500. is fair. That's what I paid for mine from a board member here (who is selling his top notch Sac Registry set as singles).

    The Goodacre seems to be listed at pie-in-the-sky prices too but when one comes up for a true auction generally sells for less.
    The Sacagawea is going through a downturn right now as far as popularity. I sort of blame it personally on the many new designs over the last couple of years and the fact is is not a closed set.

    How is this different from VAMs or all the minutiae that captivate us EAC folk?

  • I'm an avid Sacagawea Collector and I'm holding out until I find one. I don't really view it as a variety.

    Never view my other linked pages. They aren't coin related.

    To my way of thinking, the Sackies became a closed set when the Mint introduced the new Native American reverses. YMMV
    Just my 2¢

    Ah, yes. You are right. My mistake.

    Would you say then that varieties are not really worth premiums or are not worth collecting. Just curious.

    Just throwing my dollar on the table on this that like the VAM's of Morgan collecting in most cases collector do not see the premium as being worth multiples of the base price of the item in the specific grade IMO.
    And anything is collectible but not every thing has collectors for it.

    Basically I know that there are not many Sac collectors, but wanted a ballpark of what the few of them might label the value of one of these as.
    There is something for everyone and this may be a limited crowd who this draws attention for, but it does command a decent premium to the right buyer.
    Morgan Vams are endless, but there are many who focus on these as one of their main directions of collecting.
    Just saying.

    PS: Thanks for the help Braddick image
