Anyone interested in acquiring the recently sold NGC AU53 1901-S Barber Quarter....not mine

KollectorKing

I was PMing a CU member about an AU65 01-S quarter that he saw. I was hoping to find it at HA to see what it looks like, but no luck.

But then I ran into this:


ngc au53 01-s

What does this thread mean? if it's the make an offer function...the Heritage default for accounts is set to on for that.

KollectorKing

Under the "make an offer" button is the following:

"This item's Owner is proactively entertaining Offers"


Does that mean that HA automatically puts that in w/out the owner's OK?

I have an account w/HA and none of my >100 coins listed in"my collection" shows that.

IIRC, a Heritage member is automatically provided with the make an offer listing on archived items acquired at HA auctions. The member has to manually opt out of the system. You may have done it and just don't remember. I opted out when the program was initiated. I know that some HA members who have won lots at auction just ignore the attempts by HA to act as a broker for reselling. HA tacks on a 17.5% buyer's fee to any offer presented, so any item that appears to have maxed out in the current market at auction to the current owner will likely be priced ahead of the market, especially if the current owner expects a profit margin. I can only see this happening in the case of ultra rarities or cherrypicks where a potential buyer envisions a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, or has the vanity to advance a registry set for competitive satisfaction.

KK - PM sent - the info on the other AU 55 1901-S - was
in confidence. As I mentioned in my PM - I am a serious
buyer of that coin.

You will never find it.

A member here just bought this coin, and know darn well he isnt going to sell it, he was excited to get it

I wonder if Heritage completes many transactions with that "offer/buy it now" feature, when the owner really isn't interested in selling?

Well played. Needed this laugh with my coffee this morning.

I used this feature on make an offer only once. I used Heritage's suggested price
and was shot down by the owner - who really wasn't all that interested in selling.
My counter offer was so large that the owner couldn't say no.

Don't get excited, it wasn't a really rare coin ... Just a very well struck Barber Half
in a PCGS 40 holder. I paid AU money for it and thought I did okay.

The last time I saw an AU+ 1901-s 25c was when I was looking through my friend's awesome collection that was assembled prior to 1960. Unfortunately, the 1901-s itself was less than awesome, having been cleaned almost to the point of whizzing, along with the AU 1896-s and AU 1913-s. Oh, the humanity! Virtually the rest of the set was MS61 or better in PCGS OGH from a 1989 submission, having been spared any cleaning.

Interesting thread....I viewed both the NGC AU53 and the PCGS AU 55 in the Heritage sale at Long Beach and was the successful bidder on the PCGS AU55. If you're interested in the piece or would just like to discuss the technical aspects of it, I'd be happy to speak with you. We haven't offered it for sale yet, but I'd be happy to do so privately...
