    Depends on whether it is $5000 or $25000 next year.

    First day of issue? They only made 1945 and they sold out in 30 seconds. Was there more than one day of issue?

    Just think of the money saved if you don't buy.

    As far as coin mintage numbers go, 1945 is a very low number. However, if you're purchasing this for resell down the road, 1945 does not make this coin scarce by any means.

    I’m not going to comment on what I think another dealer should sell his coin at (more or less), but the reality is the last raw opened coin on eBay fetched the high $12,000’s. And many collectors would likely be happy with a $12,000 raw example of this (artificially created) rarity, especially if it is not damaged. So, the question then becomes what % above that base price should a 70 grade coin from the top grading service fetch? Here, the dealer is asking around 50%-60% premium for “all the bells and whistles”. Is that a price for a “fool”? What if I told you that a very fast pigeon just sold for $1,900,000.00 with a lifespan in captivity of 10-15 years (about 1-3 years wild in the city). Would you want the pigeon or 100 of these 70 graded coins? Pick your poison.

    The asking prices for this coin make me think that the 1848 CAL. quarter eagle is vastly under priced. It’s about nine times rarer, has a lower initial mintage and has a vastly more interesting story surrounding it.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    The person who purchased that pigeon said it was very tasty.

    Never question the market...for coins or pigeons.

    But, to be fair to the pigeon, you can breed a pigeon. Try to breed a coin!
