Got A WOW - Teletrade Purchase

TheRock · March 7, 2005 1:58PM

Finally got a WOW, A PCGS 1968 PF68 Lincoln for $260.00. Only 5 graded PF69. Just drinking some beers and WOW, this happened to come across my email. Had to pull the trigger.

I got one from marty for $100

TheRock · March 7, 2005 2:01PM

OK, now I feel bad.

TheRock · March 7, 2005 2:04PM

Wait just a minute. MadMarty likes SILVER, not COPPER. Are you just screwing with me or what?

coynclecter · March 7, 2005 2:15PM

100 bucks!!!! Dam I paid 160 for mine, boy did I get the shaft!!!!!

Of course I can't feel too bad, I sold it off for 260!!!!

TheRock · March 7, 2005 2:20PM

OK, now I'm really feeling bad. $100.00 and $160.00. Dam, where the hell did you guys find these. I'm so close to a perfect PCGS PF set I could spit. Saw this coin since it was 1 of 5 to complete a 1959-Present set in DCAM. The prices you guys are getting is un-godly. Please help me out if you can get what I need that much cheaper.

coynclecter · March 7, 2005 2:22PM

I have another one you can have for 230 or 5 for 1000

clackamas · March 7, 2005 2:22PM

<< Wait just a minute. MadMarty likes SILVER, not COPPER. Are just screwing with me or what? >>

Nope, Marty buys so many proof sets he makes everything now and then. A Broken clock is correct twice a day and Marty does make DCAM just about everything now and then. I got a steal, I know it just rubbing it in

Cheers

BTW The one I got from Marty was a PF68DCAM, it has a pop of 141 with 34 higher.

TheRock · March 7, 2005 2:24PM

Fine, I'm going upstairs to collect my tears. Maybe the wife willl comfort me.

MadMarty, get ready for som PM's buddy.

coynclecter · March 7, 2005 2:25PM

I'm just playing. I don't even collect them. If the pop is 5 you couldn't have done too bad. Congrats!!

TheRock · March 7, 2005 2:28PM

Thanks "C", CLACK was making me feel like CRAP. However, going to get some comforting from the wife doed not sound like a bad idea. Still, if what he says is true, MadMarty is in for dome serious PM's. I'm so close to the complete set I could die. 2-3 years in the making.

clackamas · March 7, 2005 2:29PM

Sorry

coynclecter · March 7, 2005 2:31PM

I take that back you got the 68 not the 69. Look at the Heritage archives and see what they went for. Better yet, enjoy the coin and forget the price

TheRock · March 7, 2005 2:33PM

No problem "C". It just sucks !!!!!!! if you buy this particular coin for that amount. I have waited at leat 6 months to find that dam thing. If MadMarty has the coins, I will ask. I still don't feel bad for buying it at $260 when the going price is $400+ and the PCGS value is $600.. Would have just like to save a $100 is it. No bad feelings from me.

jonesy · March 7, 2005 2:35PM

Nice pick up!!

TheRock · March 7, 2005 2:39PM

Well the last one sold for $345.00 on 09-23-2004. NOw I really don'y feel so bad.

TheRock · March 7, 2005 2:42PM

Thanks jonesy. Appriciate the love my friend.

BASEagle · March 7, 2005 10:39PM

$260 for a modern?

Dang.

You could get a real coin for the same money.

Modern bashing? I love it.

You got yourself a nice coin there. Enjoy it.

Is it listed in the PCGS Registry ?

Yup...that's how it happens!

and then just a burp and a fart later ............................ WHOOSH !!! .............................. $260

You could buy a 1971 proof set and save yourself $250. Plus you would get the dollar through the cent.

coynclecter · March 8, 2005 11:45PM

<< $260 for a modern? >>

I've always collected classics but I have to wonder when a modern isn't modern anymore. Except for us old guys the 1960's was before most of the posters here was born. I think we might have to rethink the 1964 cutoff date. 40 years old just might be enough to move out of the "modern" class.
