Anyone taking bets on final hammer price
PCGS price is 700k. I am not sure of the big collectors of these, but I can see this going for 1.250 Million easily.
Member, Society of Silver Dollar Collectors.
Looking for PCGS AU58+ 1901-P, 1896-O, & 1894-O

TDN, since you have seen it before do you know what is going on with the obverse at 2 o'clock? Is it on the surface of the coin or an issue with the plastic?
Is this the same Cardinal as the one who frequents this forum?
And the Stack's image for comparison:

My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

It would seem that if you're going to hand out a 69 to an 18th century coin then you would be extra, super, no-doubt-about-it sure that it is, indeed, a 69......you know, maybe hold a few board meetings and reviews and march it around the company a bit to all the Big Cheeses before slabbing it.....not how it works for an uber coin like this?

Heck, I'd give up his other one as well!
I love thinking of how a coin like that could survive in that condition to this day.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
<< <i>Is Oct. 8th too big for the half disme?

When I was looking yesterday, it does look two big. But if you look at pictures of the half disme and look at the rim, the light spots on fet on the cutout in the add somewhat correlate, as well with the shape/arrangement of the denticles. Should be a contest to guess the coins before they are released!

It was graded with a huge group of Nafztger coins. All I can say is what I've heard - that it's an amazing coin but would be hard pressed to get that grade if submitted again.
But does it really matter if it's a 67, 68 or 69?

In this particular case, the grade probably does matter to some extent.
If it graded lower, the coin wouldn't have as much bragging rights, e.g. the photos wouldn't be able to have the following captions:
<< Single Highest Graded 18th Century Coin >>
<< The highest-graded early coin of any denomination, date or variety! >>
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
