Be it an R6+ or a common date. What haven't you seen in several years??? I have not seen a 1909-O Barber quarter in AU in a long time!

    1568 and 1571 Scotland Ryals in no-problems certifiable condition.
    When in doubt, don't.

    A mercury dime I need that doesn't cost an arm, and a leg.

    Many better half dimes come to mind. In the Liberty seated series, I have not seen an 1839-O V1 Large O in VF or better come to auction. I have also not seen an 1840-O No Drapery V6 Transitional in XF or better cross the auction block. Neither of the Small O varieties (V4 or V5) of the 1848-O in mint state have been auctioned, either. In the Capped Bust half dimes, I have not seen an 1835 LM-12, an 1829 LM-6.1 or an 1833 LM-5 come to auction, in any grade. Perhaps this is why we refer to these as 'rare'.

    The 1889cc GSA is for sale, last I heard. Monaco coins was selling it for 1.2mm.

    I'd be willing to stretch to make a run at that one, but that is just stretching too far.

    An NGC AU50 sold last November at Heritage for around $1600 .. I know the person that bought it - it crossed to PCGS 50 a few months later and was resold at a very hefty premium

    The coin was topic of conversation on the Barber thread at the time .. majority decision was the coin looked cleaned / washed out. I saw it in hand about a month ago .. pix made it look worse than it was .. I wasn't thrilled with it but it wasn't bad either

    Not a coin, but, I don't think a Cucamonga National (any denomination, LG/Small), has come up for auction since 2007, and before that, 2005. Just going from memory here.

    If you eliminate the requirement for a specific grade or unusual variety (or coin for which there are fewer than a ten known), I cannot think of a single U.S. gold coin that has not been auctioned in recent years, and every single one (except the 1870-S $3) has been auctioned since 1999.

    Only one is in private hands. It last sold at public auction in 1982 (Eliasberg) for $687,500. Two are in the Smithsonian. What would that coin bring today at auction? image

    Not quite, RYK. Any of the singular extant 1804 Proof $10. The Bass Collection coin was last at auction in 1982. The Simpson Collection coin last was at auction in 1988.

    Have seen only 1 of the 5 classic commems in PCGS MS69 come to auction since 2000, one of the two 38-D Oregons which sold in an OGH in 2002 and again in
    2004 in the new JFS collection slab.

    But 3 of the other 4 were made sometime after Aug 2000, my last PCGS pop book. The only other one that was made pre-2000 and I'd love to see
    (but could never afford) is the 37-D Oregon that resides in X_man's "Schultz" #1 all time Oregon Set. Looks like a jewel of a coin.

    1982 Eliasberg? So I take it that the Simpson coin is the ex: Baldenhofer coin, which did not sell in Les Fox' (mostly) Amazing Gold Rarities (Akers-Stacks 1988). Opened and closed at $260+10%.

    About as mega-cool as it gets. image

    If I could only buy one for a dollar and had to chose between this and the TDN 66SP, I'd go with the 1804 $10. No knock on the consolation prize. image

    2 years ago Laurie moved the $10 in the $5,000,000 range. image

    I must also add in the type of 1838 $10 Liberty Type of 1838 in proof. Last appearance Pittman '88

    Now PCGS PR65 DCAM CAC

    1838 was the first year $10's were made after 1804. Three proofs made.

    One piece is untraced, perhaps misattributed by Breen.

    Jay Miller and I had the pleasure of handling the Cardinal Spellman-Akers-private collector-Miller/Sear(1989-91)-private collector-Goldberg-private collector.

    Dave had handled both coins and he was very clear and direct about ours being more than half a point better. In direct discussion with JJP he, bristling, but only a little bit, conceded ours was likely better.

    Doug Winter did great research for us on the proofs of 1838 1nd 1839.

    I tried to broker the Pittman coin a couple of years ago, but my customer got self-protective in the $2,000,000 range.

    The Spellman coin is the totally coolest coin I've ever owned. image
