What on earth that auction wasn't set to end for another 3 days or so...I guess the seller pulled a quick one because the original listing shows that it's no longer available:
Haha yeah I was watching the original listing. I guess someone messaged him and offered him 750 for it to end it early. I think the last bid on the original auction was 150 bucks or so.
Wait- I am slightly confused. Numismedia has this thing going for just over $400, whereas the NGC price guide has it at $1500. Is the $1500 the accurate number
ahh gotcha. Yeah this is absolutely a 1500 dollar coin. The last ms62's brought about 1300 bucks at auction and that was several years ago and they were kind of ugly.

it loos like it was canceled with a decent top bid, so if someone offered a price to end the listing, it was for a good amount
Someone is going to make some cash for sure....old holder which means it could be a possible upgrade and I think the toning is going to be nice in hand. Hell send it to CAC
Those early darkish holdered MS coins tended to be weak on luster and often ignoring a touch of rub. It could literally be anything from AU58+ to MS63. If NGC was able to grade the Norweb 1842-0 sd 25c in AU58 (raw) as MS63 back in 1988, then most any grade was possible in the 58-63 range....even then.
I owned an early holdered, solid MS63 1840 25c in 1988 (purchased raw in at auction in mid-1980's as MS63 via dealer Larry Whitlow). What was somewhat annoying is that I accepted the MS63 grade on the first and only attempt from NGC. I sold the coin to Martin Haber who promptly upgraded it to MS64...doubling the price from $3,500 to $7,000. The only finer specimen I ever ran across was the very nice MS65+ Norweb coin which fetched around $20K in 1987/88. I did have an interest in the coin until a dealer told me they had a "buy" (at any price) bid on the coin from their customer. That was a big money coin for that time...about the same price range as a gem 1872-s. Would not be surprised if that coin was of MS66 quality today.

Good luck getting this coin for $400. Check Heritage Auction results for over/under grades.
The last two auctions of this date in MS in PCGS and NGC went for $6k+ and $4k+ respectively in MS63
The last MS61 in an ANACS went for $1.3k in 2008.
