I'll post the grade in a bit. mike

mgoodm3 · October 23, 2003 10:34AM

I'll say 64, possibly 65. Nice coin. high grade gold is pretty.

nwcs · October 23, 2003 10:35AM

Droool

Drooooool

Droooooooooooool

I'll go 66 on that beauty

Baley · October 23, 2003 10:37AM

Wow, that is nice. No way in hell is it less than 65, and I would not be surprised at 66. Would need to see the other 2 sides to say 67 but it's not impossible. nice nice coin.

goose3 · October 23, 2003 10:38AM

Very nice.
ms65?

Placid · October 23, 2003 10:38AM

MS69 if the reverse looks the same.

<< <i>MS69 if the reverse looks the same. >>

Look at the date and in front of the eye... not a 69

I go 65

Placid · October 23, 2003 10:45AM

That coins gotta be worth 100k at least. Plus its in a old rattler holder so it will probably upgrade to ms70

darktone · October 23, 2003 10:49AM

Placid, actually $110,000 is the asking price but I think you know that

Placid · October 23, 2003 11:00AM

Is that a scratch by star 9?

nwcs · October 23, 2003 11:04AM

The more I look at it, the more I'm willing to go 67. It's those two noticable marks on the obv and the slight roughness on the neck and base of the bust that keeps me from going higher. Regardless, a superior coin. One of those "if only I could win the lottery that doesn't yet exist in TN" moments.

darktone · October 23, 2003 11:05AM

Placid, I don't know but here's another photo from the B&M sale where it sold for $77,625. A little bit of a mark up don't you think? mike

Placid · October 23, 2003 11:07AM

Dang that must have been awhile ago if its in a pcgs rattler.

darktone · October 23, 2003 11:08AM

By the way Placid was right MS69 the Eliasberg example no less. I wish it were mine.

darktone · October 23, 2003 11:10AM

no just a couple of months ago LINK

nwcs · October 23, 2003 11:13AM

Why is it a 69? It isn't just a tiny step away from perfection...

darktone · October 23, 2003 11:17AM

They really don't get any better than this so what's the difference? mike

Placid · October 23, 2003 11:19AM

Cause it was graded in a blackout

Have to remember its about 20x normal size in the picture but still...

fivecents · October 23, 2003 11:20AM

Ms69???? As the militarty would say " that"s a bunch of Bravo Serria"!!!

I guess the scratch by the star is a struck thru error.

nwcs · October 23, 2003 11:26AM

True, here is a reduced version to somewhere near real size. But I'd still say 68 should be the highest.

XpipedreamR · October 23, 2003 12:01PM

I'll say 65

Placid · October 23, 2003 5:38PM

Close

Baley · October 23, 2003 8:19PM

heh, that was pretty cool how you set us up by showing coin after coin of MS64 and MS65 gold that looked better, then showed an MS69 coin and said guess the grade, yup it looks really really nice.

wow, finest known of the type and it still has a couple marks.

great story about how the ownership can be traced from the mint to today.

darktone · October 23, 2003 8:48PM

<< <i>heh, that was pretty cool how you set us up >>

Yes, I set you guy's up

It was fun and enlightening. mike
