Some strong prices today at the Stacks Bowers sale.

Lakesammman · February 6, 2015 9:41AM

Anyone successful??

Here are a few that were on my watch list.

$42,500 for the 1916 PCGS65 SLQ FH
$110,000 and $111,000 for the Round/Oct. Pan-Pacs
$7300 for a PCGS MS65 1928 Hawaiian Doily with cracked outer shell
$8800 for a 1882 Trade Dollar P63 Doily
$8800 for a 1915-S $2.5 PCGS64 Doily

I enjoyed watching the live feed but didn't have a chance to test the bidding feature - it's still too risky to me.

jdimmick · February 6, 2015 9:50AM

let me re-word this:

the 16 slq was a strong upgrade candidate , fresh, wholesome and nice. I would like to have owned it, but it would have been a stretch for me with other stuff coming soon

All the stellar successes will be on front page of the CDN next week. All of the so-so or poor results will not be featured.

superpsychmd · February 6, 2015 10:44AM

I got the 1926-s cent in 64rb in a pcgs holder for under $1100. Any thoughts on that one?

AnkurJ · February 6, 2015 10:53AM

That trade dollar is probably going to be cracked out for a cameo designation.

Lakesammman · February 6, 2015 10:57AM

There were so many OGH's and Doilies that I imagine a lot of them will be cracked and resubmitted.

Lakesammman · February 6, 2015 11:01AM

At that price it needs to be a 64 DCAM or 65CAM - sitting in a Green CAC P63 Doily currently.......

EastonCollection · February 6, 2015 8:13PM

yes, the prices were very strong. I saw some of the coins and many were upgrade candidiates! I won dinner with 3 stacks experts in the charitable lots, I had dinner before with David Bowers and Larry Stacks and others and had a fantastic time. They were very educational and know so much about our hobby. With the Pogue coins coming up, I know that they will have more stories to share. Personally, you can't get better education from anyone else in the coins that I collect. Really looking forward to dinner as well as having several friends join me!

i wish i had the budget to get a few of them

JJSingleton · February 7, 2015 1:24AM

<< Anyone successful?? >>

Yes and no. I was blown out of the water on the Cleveland in P66 and the Sesqui in P65. Both very attractive but far from monsters.

I did however pickup the Bass 1844-D Qtr Eagle in P62.

And at a surprisingly fair price.

And I also won my first error coin. The Georgia State Quarter double struck. Being a Georgia boy I bid what I am sure is stupid money just for grins.

I bid on the Cleveland as well. I live in NY and looked at it in hand. It is a really beautiful coin but 6K is just absurd.

I viewed these coins, and here are my amateur comments on the above:

$42,500 for the 1916 PCGS65 SLQ FH
This was a YUMMY coin. I don't collect the series, but man, this was REALLY nice!

$110,000 and $111,000 for the Round/Oct. Pan-Pacs
I actually liked the Octan. one much better

$7300 for a PCGS MS65 1928 Hawaiian Doily with cracked outer shell
The coin was a nice 65, but not an upgrade shot IMHO

$8800 for a 1882 Trade Dollar P63 Doily
A really nice trade dollar! Very pretty dapple toning when rotated

$8800 for a 1915-S $2.5 PCGS64 Doily
No not recall this one

DennisH · February 7, 2015 2:09AM

Good for them.
But they didn't get any bids from me.

ebaybuyer · February 7, 2015 2:13AM

haven't bid on any stacks sales in nearly five years, no intention to ever buy anything from them

Would like to see the link for a non monster MS66 Cleveland that fetched $6K

topstuf · February 7, 2015 2:14AM

Sure like to see a link.

I must be stupid or their site is not very intuitive to find past stuff.

duh....

Lakesammman · February 7, 2015 4:13AM

My watch list disappeared......

Many of the older holders were consigned by a long term collector who was recently diagnosed with Lou Gehrig Disease (ALS).

Procedes will be going to Harvard for ALS research. Makes overpaying a little less painful.

Hey Oreville - can I deduct what I overpaid as a charitable donation??

that watch list disappearing act is common. If you want to really trace an item, you have to bid. Or so it seems from my experience.

JJSingleton · February 7, 2015 4:40AM

<< Would like to see the link for a non monster MS66 Cleveland that fetched $6K

>>

Don't get me wrong. It is a very desirable coin. I was willing to go 3K for what is a $300 coin without the color. But a Monster, I don't think so. You want monster color, go to coinfacts and see the MS68.

Here's the link:
Cleveland P66

My watch list is gone too. My bid list remains so I could easily find the Cleveland link.

Lakesammman · February 7, 2015 6:28AM

I had a dealer preview and bid for me, so no bid list......

410a · February 7, 2015 8:22AM

The Lexington, if I remember correctly, in 65 went for $500, but the next Lexington in 64 went for stupid money $2000. due to the toning and I believe it was a crackout candidate, but I did not see it in hand. I always think a 64 is a 64 when it comes to most coins pretty or not.

okiedude · February 7, 2015 8:26AM

I felt really good about the 1815/2 CBH I got Thursday night, possibly under market? Picked up a nice VG 1795 Draped Bust $1 last night, also reasonable, and nice for the grade.
There were some really nice coins in the Winthrop collection, way out of my league for most of them.

The Winthrop Collection did have some real nice high end coins including the Pan Pac $50s that both went for over 100K. But what I found more interesting is he also had many coins under $500 in his collection. Clearly he just liked coins at both ends of the market.

Ultimately a coin is "worth" whatever somebody else would pay for it.
I too thought the Cleveland had nice color, but the surface quality was not very strong for an ms66.

The MS64 Lexington based on this images looked like a beautiful coin and I'd rather own 4 of those then a dipped bright MS67 I recently saw.

Since it's one of the pre 1930's issues that's tough to find attractive if you can live with a non gem TPG MS64 opinion it was a great coin (IMAGE TOP)

If you need a higher graded example to sleep well at night the superb gem MS68 (IMAGE BELOW) was another great color example which once sold for $69K.

That's the sign of a true collector being able to enjoy coins at any price level.

MFH · February 8, 2015 12:11AM

I agree, Broadstruck, the consignor was a true collector and it saddened me
to read about the reasoning for the disbursal of his collection. All the proceeds
from the sale of his coins are scheduled to go to the ALS Foundation.

I was a bidder on one of his coins - a splendid 1900-O Quarter in an old PCGS
Rattler graded MS 66 - and it was CAC. My estimate was 7-8K but it closed at
$14.100. That would have been fine if the coin was a 67. It was not a 67, however.

The other coin I bid on was a gem 1891 Dime in NGC 66 Star - with great rim toning.
My max was $1300 - and the bids flew by me. It closed at $1700.

Both great coins... esp. the Barber!

Underbidder on the 1887 Seated Q P old holder CAC, what a neat coin...
