    Shrug. Finest known 76cc twenty center is about a million dollar coin...as is finest known 1827 quarter. Doubt the finest known 38-O half even gets to that level. 1884 trade dollar just a little above $1M. There’s lots of comparables

    However, with a 2016 sale at just shy of $2,000,000, it seems that (retail or otherwise) $10,000,000 would be quite a stretch.

    Maybe so but putting a big price on my 1894-S would almost guarantee that I won't be flipping it.
    $2,000,000 seems like a bargain, a real bargain for the finest example of one of the most storied coins in all of numismatics. How many books have been written about this coin?

    Tomorrow is the scheduled auction sale date. Looking forward to reportings of the auction atmosphere there in Chicagoland from anyone who is able to attend in person.

    If finest known is valued at only $2 M, I don't see this one going for more than about $1.1 M. What is it 20% buyer's fee?

    1.2x=$1,100,000.

    x= $920,000 hammer

    Anyone else care to guess what the ex. Dr. Jerry Buss 1894-S dime will bring?

    Gotta wonder if some of the 1894-S dimes were lost in the San Francisco earthquake of April 18, 1906. Some of the '94-S dimes were trading at $50 apiece soon after mint employees got their hands on a few of them.

    I guess I will be the only one in these parts to be wrong about the 1894-S dime hammer price. If I'm right within plus or minus 10% of $920 K I expect a fourth well-deserved star,however.💥

    Doubt it. That guy was sitting a few chairs away from me.

    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    Having a fake one is bad to the bone. How do you get one? Can you share pictures?

    I told you he was excited! The best part is that he was babysitting grandkids as we were on the phone for the auction.

    Do his grand kids also share his passion for numismatics?

    Sounds like he is a true collector! ;)

    Cheesy in my opinion. I'd rather have a poster made of this one to hang on my wall...
