Is this quarter worth $10,000?

What is everyone's opinion? link

3-4k range IMO.

It might be, to a serious Bust Quarter set collector. The current finest known is Glenn Marx's NGC AU-50, with 3 XF-45's below it, and the remainder of the published census of 11 coins total at VF-20 or lower. I believe that one of our infrequent posters here owns an example of B-5. Hopefully he'll see this thread and chime in.

What cd said.

Pickup only.

coindeuce · April 12, 2013 12:43PM

<< Pickup only.

I'm certain that may be negotiable, and is simply a deterrent to scammers.

Probably not in the census and if it is, not at the top. I would lean towards no on this one.

I'd like to see it go for 10K

:
But I'd say it's worth closer to 5K.

Ahhhh let me see.......hummmmm........NO. and you guys are quite astute. "pickup only" variety extant... Where do you guys find all this
very cool.

IrishMikey · April 12, 2013 11:26PM

Nope. Pretty sure that the 10K price tag is a fishing expedition.

For reference, I saw a VG8 offered for $13k on a dealer site once.

It is worth what the market will bear.

To me, someone who could care less about Browning numbers, it is not worth even $100.00.

To someone who is a Browning number specialist and has money ... who knows.

Love the "No Reserve" part.

None of the seller's items have any bids

Seems a bit harsh to call it 'rim damage'; I'm really not seeing it!

As for value, probably $5k like others have mentioned. Scarce but becoming more common

coin22lover · April 13, 2013 2:10AM

Here it is pre-holder. I would still agree that it was a bit harsh to not grade this coin, in this grade. If I was the owner, I would most certainly crack it out and try it again.

Stone, can you elaborate on how a standing count of 11 examples in the JRCS census equates to "becoming more common" ?

johnny9434 · April 13, 2013 2:30AM

no bids either. no i wouldnt pay that for a damaged coin ( rim dings in this case ) jmo

410a · April 13, 2013 2:34AM

Big Rim Ding at 9:30 on the reverse it is most easily seen, the fields on the obverse are questionable. The die break is neat, but 10k no way. IMHO

coin22lover · April 13, 2013 2:37AM

I actually kind of have a feeling this is one of those situations where the photos overblow the damage. I could be wrong, though. I must admit I'm a little surprised PCGS didn't grade it...a little surprised, not a lot.

I am aware of at least 2 more examples which have been found in the last year, and some people don't share their examples in the census or elsewhere.
That said, it is still extremely rare, but may some day have a pop of ~25

As for the rim damage, the raw pic shows it MUCH more clearly, and I don't have a problem with it in its current holder!

It's a pipe dream wishing coins weren't cleaned

Is this quarter worth $10,000?
