Whats your (Coin) Icon here "worth"?

I personally haven't a good idea since its kind of unique as finest known condition wise and no similar sales exist but I'd suspect between 6-9K$.

    Easily $1 million+ if one ever became available.

    PCGS guide says $185 but I'd think it's worth more than standard PR68 DCAM pricing for the Monster frost. I wouldn't take $250 for it personally.

    It is a Chain cent, the Periods Variety, which according to "Coin Facts" is worth $35,000 in VF-20. The coin is in an NGC VF-30 holder, which I think is 10 points too high. The PCGS graded VF-30 Chain cents look about the same as my piece, however, so from the market grading aspect, I guess it's correct.

    1913 type 1 proof. Not sure of it's value.

    I just started getting into Ancients so my current icon is my first big purchase. Bought it from a collector who is getting out of Greek and getting into Roman. He bought the piece some time ago; one look I fell in love. Knew it was nice, certainly nicer than a few I've seen previously. Paid $4.65k for it without knowing much (not many price guides for these coins) but knew that similar examples (from my basic eye appeal perspective) were going for around $6k (+/-) so I thought it was a pretty good deal.

    I have sent in a couple to NGC to encapsulate since then for preservation purposes...the icon graded Ch AU, Strike 5/5, Surface 4/5, Fine Style. So it was a good education for me because professional opinion lined up with what I saw with my own eyes...

    So that's the significance of it, anyhow.

    $100K, but the price guide is way behind on this one due to lack of activity.

    Mine's an ultra-common 1879s that is my favorte Morgan in my collection....for sentimental reasons, anyway. I bought raw in my formative years, (2002?) as an MS-64 for the princely sum of $45. I just knew it had a shot at 65.

    I sent it in for grading.....by ANACS. I got my 65.

    So by the PCGS price guide, it's worth $195. In the real world, it would probably sell at MS-64 prices, and be worth $86.

    Priceless. It's the only coin (okay, medal) that's I've personally struck. Sorta. Otherwise, it's probably worth about $6. image

    Not my coin, unfortunately --- but an issue I've coveted for years. Worth perhaps north of $75K in this grade.
