I was hoping to add another Piedfort to the collection until...

I saw what the final price was!!!

I have 4 out of the 250 mintage and was hoping for #5. Had a 150 pound snipe in and totally got blown out of the water. I haven't seen one come up for auction in 3-4 years, and they have always sold for $100-$150. Maybe it's time to part with a few of mine!!! LOL

Well ... I guess prices are bound to go up if the competition for the Weenie Dollars heats up ... all these years of corrupting innocent minds and what not. Now that I have some other projects winding down I may have to pick up a few more dates just for grins ...

Two bidders from 44 pounds with a third chiming in at 100. You need those bidders else you might not get close.

Where's that creative problem solving when you need it, MadMarty?

Hope this cheers you up … it's one of my faves! (but not a piedfort)

MadMarty

The creative problem solving is "hmmmm at those prices, I should sell off the ones I have!!"

LochNESS

Buy low, sell high. If you are one for whom changing directions is painless, then sell (if the market is indeed high). If however you are stuck in the mud with tons of sentimental value and you're going to miss them ... sell to me and I'll consider letting you buy them back in ten years with a modicum of market appreciation

One of the items on my "Absolutely Must Purchase" list when I went to my very first coin show (PAN 5/05) was a 1979 Cook Island $1. Not only did nobody have a good example to offer me, nobody had one at all. The closest anyone came? The 1986 Piedfort you linked. The price? $40. I guess I should have bought it, but it seemed so expensive at the time!

I have a bunch of slabbed ones up on Flea-Bay now!! If you're looking for a weenie coin they are up!!

Where's the holey one MM?

MadMarty

It's at home in a very think NGC Gennie, slabbed as holed!!!
