What's your take on these two auction results? Same coin, 20 months apart and vastly different prices. Which result seems more accurate to you? Disclosure - I won it last night for $84.



Sept-2016 $84



Jan-2015 $259

    I was hoping to get somethin' last night night when my wireless took a dump. Other than an apparent increase of PCGS population of 43 to 49 for this YR/MM/GR, last night a lot of coins sold cheap!

    I think you did OK......if the pics understate the color, if it were in my inventory I'd price it at about $150 or so

    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    Two people wanted it bad the first time? You have to go by average prices for like coins to understand the rest of the equation.

    I'm not sure if I'm being silly, or not....



    But one difference is that in the intervening period, the coin apparently rotated about 45 degrees in the holder. Does that matter? Heck no. Will it turn off a percentage of our OCD perfectionist brothers? Maybe?



    I think high grade Jeffs can be a thin market....and knocking out one bidder might be enough to make a difference?
