I think we need a contest! We have a winner!! (It's Final)

MadMarty · December 6, 2003 10:26PM

I have a coin up on Teletrade. It is on tomorrows auction.
Here is the link.
Guess the closing price (before the juice) and the closest without going over (yes, just like the price is right), will win a 1964 NGC PR66 Accent Hair Kennedy! The contest will run for 24 hours! So, get your gess in and help keep this coin away from Russ!

FYI, the reserve on the coin is $850!

Good Luck!
1965 SMS PCGS 68 CAM
Deep mirror-like fields with some attractive luster. Sharply contrasting moderately frosted devices. Well struck. A lovely example. Pop 2 with none higher. !
HAMMER $1950

The Winner is IDAHOGAL!!! With a guess of $1875

I really like PLACIDS guess

it will at least hit your reserve, even if you have to pay the priveledge of them putting it in their auction

so I will guess next bidding increment -> $875

I hope I am wrong and it goes well and you get another grand for it

DHeath · December 7, 2003 12:44AM

The coin counts like a MS67 Dcam in the registry, but should sell for about $100 less, so I figure it at around $1400. Good luck!

CoinAddict · December 7, 2003 1:09AM

I will guess 1525.00

Good luck Marty and thanks for the contest.

robertpr · December 7, 2003 1:24AM

I'd have to say $1125. It should go for stronger prices than the previous examples, all NGC certified coins, went for but by how much is hard to say. Note the falling price trend on this coin.

$1319.00 and good luck

<< <i>The coin counts like a MS67 Dcam in the registry, but should sell for about $100 less, so I figure it at around $1400. >>

Don,

Actually, it counts like a 66DCAM. The DCAMs have a 3 point bonus on these, CAMs only a 1 point bonus. Also, the last 67DCAM for the 1965 SMS that sold at auction went for over $7K; the one before that, over $9K.

DHeath · December 7, 2003 2:55AM

Damned. I haven't watched the registry for a while so I've been out of the loop, but I guess it makes sense. The 65 is the single toughest coin on the list in high-grade dcam IMO.

<< <i>The 65 is the single toughest coin on the list in high-grade dcam IMO. >>

That's not just your opinion, it's a fact.

It's the toughest in DCAM in any grade, closely followed by the '66 SMS with the Accented Hair in third. BTW, all the SMS coins and the Accented Hair have a 3 point DCAM bonus. In addition, the AH has a weight of 2, which is really nice for my favorite Kennedy collector.
