There was another thread, can’t find it

It’s at $3433.

Found it in @ricko W thread.

ChrisH821 · April 17, 2019 12:39PM

Great... I guess?

Hemispherical · April 17, 2019 12:40PM

It’d be great if it was my W.

Edit: Bidder 9 really wants it.

jabba · April 17, 2019 12:44PM

Your really just paying over 3K for a discovery label not sure about that

kuwegg57 · April 17, 2019 12:46PM

There's only two of them but is it really a rarity being a PCGS designated coin.

Tetromibi · April 17, 2019 12:47PM

My grades are usually a little lower when I have spots like that. That guy hit the jackpot twice with that coin.

291fifth · April 17, 2019 12:49PM

The general public needs to know this. It may set off the next great coin boom. Here come the early 1960s!!!!!!

This time I will sit out the boom.

The fact that it is an ugly 66 kind of takes away from it imo.

But....good for the seller. Might as well take advantage. I wonder if it is the guy with the CCF thread.

coinpalice · April 17, 2019 2:28PM

I wonder what the coin will be worth 2 years from now? modern coins are a big risk, I will stick to pre 33 gold

Simple, what someone is willing to pay.

Timbuk3 · April 17, 2019 7:02PM

Amazing !!!

Kccoin · April 17, 2019 9:43PM

real good for the seller, and hopefully good for the hobby

DCW · April 18, 2019 4:12AM

$3400 for a $30 coin with a "special label."
Ah, the treasure I could buy with that bread!

savitale · April 18, 2019 7:24AM

To each their own. I must say though, I don’t get it.

toyz4geo · April 18, 2019 7:29AM

Definitely looks like more than one person wants it!

Hemispherical · April 18, 2019 9:14AM

Went up another $100.

Suspect a fun bidding war closer to the end... for spectators.

I think Bidder 1 had the right idea...

Hemispherical · April 19, 2019 3:25PM

Ends: Sun, Apr 28, 2019 05:22:24 PM (Pacific Time)

$3533

mannie gray · April 19, 2019 3:30PM

Great for GC and for the sharp eyed consignor.
Hope it goes to 5K

Even bidder 1 bid a couple times too many.

Coin Finder · April 19, 2019 5:23PM

Could some explain this to me I don't understand? Are there only 2 coins in existence or only two lables??

Thanks!

Thanks!

There are two “First Discovery” pedigreed W quarters because they both arrived at PCGS on the same day and the owners split the $5000 reward.

The other pedigrees are:

“First Week of Discovery” (those coins submitted within seven days of the first discovery coins

“Early Find” (those submitted within 45 days of the first discovery coins)

ricko · April 20, 2019 6:56AM

Unbelievable.... I would never have imagined this coin would command such a price.... In two years (IMO) it will sell for $50... maybe. Cheers, RickO

earlycoins · April 20, 2019 7:33AM

Reminds me of the old kids game, “hot potato.”

DCW · April 20, 2019 7:59AM

I wonder how the guy who purchased the first certified gold Kennedy is doing?

BLUEJAYWAY · April 20, 2019 1:22PM

Will be looking out for these in circ. If do find one I will have it labeled "The BLUEJAYWAY discovery piece".

Hemispherical · April 22, 2019 10:04PM

Bidder 9 retook the auction with bid @ $3663.

This is awesome. Thanks for the post.

And fully allowed. Other active auctions from GC have been posted before.

kuwegg57 · April 25, 2019 4:19AM

FYI
3 more days $4100.00

Hemispherical · April 25, 2019 5:18AM

There is now a bidder 10.

Battle between 9 and 10.

10 has the bid at $4100.

Tetromibi · April 25, 2019 6:42AM

Nvm

oih82w8 · April 25, 2019 9:30AM

I don't get this at all...yes, it's (one of two) first submitted coin of its type & mm sent to PCGS...but that's about it.

matt_dac · April 25, 2019 9:53AM

Crazy run!
2 MS66 Saints or this 2019 quarter...ha ha

Just wait. The 67 will be listed on eBay tonight.

asheland · April 25, 2019 10:21AM

Boy that's some expensive plastic!

johnny9434 · April 25, 2019 10:44AM

it up at $4,300 with 61 bidders. ill pass & stick with the old stuff. jmo

savitale · April 25, 2019 7:40PM

I wish I could ask the top bidders what they find attractive about this coin. Investment value? Owning the discovery piece? Does Lowell, MA have a very special place in their heart?

Zoins · April 25, 2019 9:45PM

Still much less than the first 2014 gold Kennedy half dollar which ultimately sold for $100,000.

kuwegg57 · April 29, 2019 6:35PM

Winning bid $5175.00 with buyers fee

Insider2 · April 29, 2019 6:44PM

Way to go! IMO, the seller is a very intelligent person. He should write a thank you note to our host.
