<< <i>Speaking of Vermuele - I paid $64k for what was undoubtably the finest 1873-CC trade dollar. RAW. The finest I had seen was a pretty bad PCGS MS64 for half that money. Current market value somewhere near $200k
Or how about the Amon Carter gem 1874-CC trade dollar I bought in the early 2000s for $54k - double what the finest graded PCGS coin at the time wishes that it had sold for...RAW. Current market value somewhere near $200k
I will buy most anything raw if I believe in the coin. For prices that surprise you - and may be multiples of what the finest graded coin sells at... >>
This is great, but certainly goes against the advise you normally give on this board. It is rare to never get buried in a coin, especially when you are buying them raw. Nicely done!
<< <i>Until you get a coin in PCGS plastic that is higher than this grade, it is the finest known. You can't seriously think someone will buy a raw coin for more money than the highest graded PCGS example can you? Auction houses won't even sell them
This is just silly. I have done it multiple times - paid much much higher for a raw coin than I would for the highest graded PCGS specimen. >>
If you do this often, you will lose a "much much" money often. >>

Good advice for the older folks at risk of turning blue, but not likely to be heeded when coming from a generation so cavalier about its health that it will likely soon go blind.
Gorgeous coin bidask. The obverse toning is IHHO very nice and the dark contrast of the Five Schilling oval and the shield on the reverse cannot be described as toning, but rather fine pattern in the strike? The only thing I do not like is the overstated image of the King(.). I much prefer old Indians and Ms. Liberty.
And congratulations also for generating a LOT of off topic action, which was not only informative but amusing,
Excellent original piece...congrats to the OP on a great acquisition. ...and to all the koolaid drinkers who can't see past the plastic... thanks; that just leaves more awesome original raw pieces for those of us unencumbered by linear thinking.

It's probably just gas but if it lasts for more than four hours contact a doctor...

Hey your letting the air out of my thread !
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Wouldn't it be a prize and a punishment to reread RO's posts on this thread. Didn't he explain it ALL already?
