Heritage auctioned a 1907-S barber quarter in PCGS-58 today. Nice coin, rare grade. Greysheet says $200-350. It realized $2,200 plus the juice.

if you want to get things bought cheap from those that use greysheet, make the greysheet prices low

That's a good date but prolly in the next, next, next, next, next big three.
(top 15)
<< <i>58 frenzy running amuck. That's a good date but prolly in the next, next, next, next, next big three >>
I agree with 58 frenzy running amuck whole heartedly.
I do have to say I believe the 07-S is far above the top 15, and more in line with the top 5 scarce coins under or alongside the "Big 3".. I think the 09-O and the 01-S rank at the top of most difficult in XF-AU and into mint state for the most part. I believe the 13-S and 96-S are right below those two followed closely by the 07-S, 01-O and 14-S
I have seen 3 of the 4 coins graded 58, and it is by far the nicest and easily the most original of the 3 I have seen IMO.
The 07-S is under rated but I feel it is under rated even by Barberites .. A truly vastly under rated coin that merits being in the same sentence just below the"Big 3". The 09-O is IMO equal or even more difficult in AU than "The Big 3"
It seems to me the 96-S and 13-S are more available in AU than the 09-O which is on par with the 01-S IMO
If I had to give an order of scarcity (quickly mind you), I would say something close to this:
1. Extremely scarce to Rare: 09-O / 01-S
2. Very Scarce to Extremely Scarce: 13-S / 96-S
3. Very Scarce: 07-S / 01-O / 14-S / 97-S
4. Scarce:11-S / 05-O / 06-O / 05-S / 08-S / 07-D / 04-O / 93-S etc. ( I am probably leaving a couple out)
Or something very similar.... I am doing this quickly without a lot of thought while working

Wow its like the auction of the 1897 s barber half pcgs 58 post a few weeks ago where the coin went for like just under 15k!
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

Here's the 4th
You don't see those every day, particularly in the Barber series - That is spectacular !!
<< <i>The gap between Greysheet and reality for truly great coins has been as big as the Grand Canyon for a long time. >>
MFH's which sold in 2011 walks all over this as far as surfaces and strike.
Sorry to say but what fetched moon money today imho is a dog...
As it's completely lackluster and has trace PVC on each of the two obverse upper stars and on the reverse U&A in the word Quarter.

In the first half-second or so of seein' that picture, I thought it was stapled inside a white 2x2, and the coin had slipped inside the holder! Crazy optical illusion stuff. Dang, that coin's crooked!

<< <i>It is a cool mint error, how does grey sheet ever represent mint error pricing, what am I missing here, ridiculous thread,incredibly important info was left out. >>
Realone, I only tossed this error into the thread as SAM5969 mentioned he's seen 3 of 4 the AU58's in PCGS population report. This is the 4th and has never crossed public auction.
It's one of the two plate coins in David Lawrence's Barber quarter book error section. Oh and there is no grey sheet section for mint errors.
Broadstruck... always nice to see you add one of your errors ... you've got some great ones too !
I posted my 1907-S to the Mega Thread - but I thought my coin was heads above the one sold today... IMHO

Broadstruck - What a beautiful, original 07-S. Too bad it's an error, you might sell it otherwise.

<< <i>If you thought the price was high on this 07-S quarter, look at the thread about the AU58+ Indian Cent. A $20 common date indian cent brought over $1000, because of the + designation. At least this 07-S quarter was a tough coin, whether it's 58 or 63.... >>
I can't argue with that.
