On Thursday (12/12/24) FHG Privy #148, graded PR69DCAM sold for $26,000 (Buyer fee waived) at Stack's Bowers Galleries.
Last Sunday (4/19/26) FHG Privy #148, graded PR70DCAM sold for $64,125 (57,000 Hammer) at Great Collections.
Arguably, this was a new top price paid at auction for one of these. A $31,000 gain for the consignor (if the original buyer).
Not bad!
The coin checks out. The Stack's, TruView, and GC photos are of the same coin if one were to check the rims for markers.
The original cert # was retained, it's the same. The labels, however are different, obviously. - The barcode varies in the center.
Was the coin resubmitted for a Reconsideration? A Regrade? A Crack & Submit?
Or was there a mistake early(not likely), a Mechanical error that was made whole post-Auction?
The coin is as clean as it gets with these, and is in better condition than many other 70's sold that day (based on approx 150 TV's that I examined back then).
Thoughts? How did it get upgraded? Thanks

I thought they changed cert numbers if you changed grade.
I haven't followed these as they are way above my pay grade, but that is a lot of gold for $1 face.
Agreed, why did the cert number remain on the new label? Is this normal?
I have reholdered, and the cert # remains, but this is an upgrade.
I've submitted for a grade/attribution reconsideration before, but failed.
Is a new cert number issued when a grade reconsideration is successful?
