There's also the possibility that buyers thought it wasn't really for sale - like the Childs coin. Hard to make plans that size when there's uncertainty
At any rate, the coin will make a spectacular earring in some great set.

No. I've never owned any part of an 1804 Dollar. You might be thinking of ColonelJessup, who has on a few occasions mentioned here that he once had a piece of the Garrett 1804.

I just heard from Kevin that he sold the Dollar at a much higher price and he has received 5 different offers for the coin in the last 48 hours. It was probably the best deal in all Pogue auctions to buy this coin.
So much for the Orphan coin.

Yes I think that was the case. And Kevin played it smartly by putting a book bid in advance, so nobody knew is it Kevin or Pogue bidding in the book.

That didn't take long. Rather than weeks or month(s), just a weekend. So yes, interested buyers often wait until after the sale to assess things. Good catch for KL/JA. Looks like a win-win for both sides. A new thread on the topic confirms Legend/TDN bought the coin from KL/JA.

Congrats to KL and JA! Great judgement on this coin.

Not sure the "D" chop mark on reverse impacts its price
Why is it on my coins , anyone that has a counterstamp that is are holdered counterstamped/damaged by PCGS but this one is given a pass. I take it that counterstamps might be gaining popularity and credibility after this transaction. $5M is a lot for a damaged U.S. coin.
PCGS also grades chopmarked TDs. Just need to convince PCGS for yours?

I think the D is probably considered a collector's mark....therefore given a pass on a coin like this since it isn't glaring.

Does that mean we can all add our own collector's mark?

Please explain what "a collector's mark" is in numismatics?

Decline in value? He paid under $2M
What's the 62 worth now?

As I recall the discussion, it was that they never realize a loss....not that they were never worth occasionally less.
Didn't you used to own half of the "62"?
Congrats to the new owners.

Good late night reading.
Yeah... with a coin like that it's tough just giving the wife a new kitchen or vacuum.

LOL! If you have a collection like Pogue....maybe yes!
Here's a coin I have forsale I would be tempted to have graded with probably an inventory number applied in the 19th or early 20th century:
