Is it really necessary to plug Legend when they have banner ads all over the PCGS/Forum site?
Do they really need your shameful plug????

About Findley Ridge
The dimes are superlatively gorgeous, but aren't they a bit small? . . . .
Still, Julie delivers a great auction, George runs the place, and Laurie means well. Though when the doctor told her she had to give up sushi, she stopped serving it to registered bidders and Don Willis. . . . .
So will you be bidding?

Site must be getting a lot of traffic as it freezes momentarily with the following message "Wait 0.25 seconds before trying again" popping up.
Edited to add:
Sorry but that half-cent has been worked on.
I have my eyes on [ what else ? ] a Barber !!

Just bidding on one coin, I've been bumped a couple of times,
and now I'll sit back and watch someone else over pay for a change.

You'd think that Patrick Braswell, the Graphic Design Manager, would have a photo up, since, well, that seems to be his area of expertise

<< <i>Aamazed to see that coins are being resold from other auctions that were bought less than 6 months ago ... >>
I have started seeing this trend but not even 6 months. Like 6 days sometimes.
And sometimes in different holder with a new sticker and significantly higher price.
A time when the market is tanking, it just seems weird...
Why are Half Cents and Large Cents not under attack? There is a solid collector base. And they already know how to grade. Bust and earlier silver demand and support is likewise.
Maybe MS67+ Barber Dimes are strong, but Barber Proof 67's of all denominations are tanking. They have been widgetized. As are most non-CAC PR68's. Of either TPG. MS67 Morgans PCGS MS67, non-CAC are in the crapper too. Common date Lib $2 1/2's in PCGS PR67DCAM,CAC are widgets too.
Dated silver also has held up better than most collectors of these coins would have liked, but they, like many long-term participants in other specialist niches, rejoice in that, for the next few years, they will feast on the dilettantes who sell their good coins along with their losers.
I was talking to another Forum member at Parsippany. I asked where the underbidders would be found to Bob Simpson when Pogue started. Were there 10 potential $25M bidders besides him? Mr Simpson (or his stealth buying team) WILL show up.
I was told that there were three billionaires in the audience when the Missouri Cabinet went off. My response.... Half Cent collectors are not the coin market. ROFL, any fool who thinks that an investor can outspend a collector in an EAC auction should ask himself who the market will be for that coin later on. The same investor with the same collecting sensibilities and a sense of long-term might buy an 1867 $20 NGC MS66,CAC and know exactly what he's doing. A friend, and surely a fellow coin weenie, but no billionaire, is the new owner. The only reason I can think of for any shrewd investor to NOT buy this coin is not having gotten good advice. Since there are plenty of good advisors, I'd have to assume that there aren't enough billionaires. But if anyone is keeping track of the current "market" value for $1M+ coins, I can't understand why Birch Cents go begging in any market. Any market with billionaires.
How many knowledgeable buyers of solid coins under $10,000 need to care about what the billionaires think?
I'm just sick that I don't have a customer for that Chapman proof right now. I am seldom in awe.
There is a still a very vibrant market sector for coins of that vibrant ilk. They don't, however, have to be finest known or close to it. Picky buyers who know their areas will have a lot of fun for quite a while.
I've never seen that coin in person, but from the pics it looks like a no question specimen / proof striking to me, and the overall surfaces in the pics also seem very non-business strike appearing. All in all I'd say that 93-CC is without a doubt a BMP based on the pics.
