I can't say what happened but...
in early November I saw many crappy--but high grade--Ikes for sale on Heritage. I looked at many as they could upgrade my set, but bought none. This example sold at a low price, $130, due to the problems on the coin. It appears to have been returned, and is now listed with a $260 buy now price!

    gotta cover those losses on relisting and postage and time spent for someone to post it and yadda yadda yadda. POS imho

    It is possible the buyer consigned it with a reserve of $260

    As if an Ike couldn't get any uglier!

    TUMUSS,
    Fair point. Not a great possibility, but it may have happened. Note it is for sale, not for auction now.

    I'd definitely wait for a better specimen.The print/smudge is downright ugly.

    What a POS! By comparison, here's a pretty nice Ike in AU-58 plastic. I think someone submitted this hoping for a 65 and was horrified with what returned:

    TUMUSS is probably correct. Heritage was the buyer in the previous auction. I see coins in their auctions show up in their fixed price list from time to time.

    Since watching paint dry is more exciting than an Ike, I would not have noticed this one.

    The 1973-P PCGS MS-66 PKOK Ike dollar in the auction is surely a beauty image

    I am not sure why they just don't dip the fingerprint off.
  • rheddenrhedden Posts: 6,626 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The coin was probably bought by Heritage in the last auction, then re-listed as a Buy Now item at a higher price. They tend to do that when nobody bids on an item.

    Why would PCGS holder that with the fingerprint - it looks bad.
