What would you do with ....

NotSure

.......this coin? Keep it with the bean, or say to he!! with the bean and have it attributed? Also, when attributed (I'm with 'to he!! with the bean'), what price level do you figger it at? (I, personally, do not find it attractive, but it IS an MS67, highest graded with or without the attribution, which would bring the pop up to a whopping 2, for a very tough year of the variety.) Opinions?

edited to add.....was this anyone here that took it? I was out at $750, hoping it would slide under the radar. I think, attributed, the winning bid and BP could look like a real bargain.

To be honest, I am NotSure.

Nice coin! Esp.the grade like you said. Confused,is it a type reverse? If so ,I would Keep! Once again,nice coin.

It's a Type B reverse.


RYK, I think you ARE sure.....it isn't dirty gold!!!!!!

Has a fingerprint on the obverse.....and a big one at that!

joeykoins

In that case,a KEEPER!

Not my taste - but a pop one pop top has
a lot going for it. I always considered the
early 1960's Washingtons to be common.
There must be a lot more 67's hiding in rolls
somewhere.

For the money, I'd buy a nicely toned 66+
and save a whole bunch of cash.

I don't think it has a fingerprint. PCGS wouldn't have given such a high grade.

That is one of three reasons I wouldn't have gone crazy bidding....other two are the toning on the obverse, and the reverse....maybe a print on it at the top, but just am not attracted to the reverse in general....it will still be sought after, as the lone 67 'B' is more than likely in tightly clenched hands for the long term.

joeykoins

Maybe,it is a f.print. If so, I would analyse the print and punish the culprit!

It's definitely a fingerprint on the obverse. It may not have been visible when the coin was slabbed though.

I'd keep it with the bean since it probably adds more value to the coin than a Type B Attribution might be willing to pay. As such, the value would be unrecordable since I'd don;t think anybody would buy it because of the attribution. At that level, it's the grade folks would be looking at.

After checking the Price Guide, I stand behind my statement.

The toning is unattractive and the coin soild for more than a couple of thousand below what the last MS67 sold for. Adding the Type B Attribution simply would not help.

Lee, glad you chimed in....I know what the CU guide is (and this was about 1/3 of that), and the last 2 on Heritage are gorgeous.....they make this one look like a real dog). Notice on the second to last sold, in 2011, the offers made...$6,500 and $7,500?

I thought the attribution would help this coin (lord knows it needs help)......but, looks like not.....and I know Lee is 'on the ball' on these, so I trust his judgement.

Now, the question, how on earth did this coin get a bean, or a 67? The digs on the nose, 'cuts' on the 'IBER' in 'Liberty', and a possible planchet on the hairline (looks like the beginning of drilling a hole)....how did thiis get a 67, let alone a bean? As far as the finger print, this looks like a newer holder, so it's not like it's been sitting in THIS particular holder long.

I would much rather have the attribution on the holder.......bean doesn't mean squat!
