"Liberty coin" sold these $20 Libs. last night, including an 1861-O that is details:




Do you think that the 1869 $20 would pass muster with cac? There were also 71-s and 72-s $20 Libs. in AU58 cac that sold. The 1861-o only sold for $15,200, the rest sold for low $4000s.

    Unless gold continues to tank and premiums go up it probably doesn’t financially make sense to send the 69 to CAC even though it’s a better date.

    If gold tanks and the premium goes up, aren't we at the same price points.

    As the premium component increases a sticker will add more value to the coin.

    Is that true? I'm not sure the grade premium necessarily increases just because the numismatic premium is higher.

    Yes imo the 1869 would pass CAC. Nice coin.

    CACG holder or stickered coins are priced higher in CDN CPG than non stickered coins. Really great for investment.

    Wow, I take it's a Key Date ? It got an XF Details grade with an obvious scratch and still went for almost 4x the price of gold.

    That's a tough date; some were struck before and after the civil war started. It seemed to me the marks were not that bad to make it a "cull" or "damaged" coin. It seems to have gone cheap.

    Wouldn't the pricing 1 grade higher and wherever the "inflection point" is be more important ? You could have a coin with a sizeable numismatic premium and a bit more of a premium 1 grade higher, but maybe it's only 10% higher in price.

    A CAC might only be between 2 grades without much of a price bump.

    Look at CDN Bid / Cpg on them.

    Another one blasted off last night:


    $4627. It seems like there is a lot of opportunity if you see strength in these markets especially with the crazy stock market money out there.

    Is that the hammer price or total w/bp ?

    It's eBay, so all in. People get 1-2% back on their credit cards. So I'd think a good deal unless the gold price falls significantly which would happen under certain circumstances.
