    Hands down, no contest.........this is the most ignorant statement I've heard about collectable coins in my lifetime. >>



    Hi there, here's a little tip. Awsome color happens to be what I look for on a coin. Believe it or not, many collectors do. It's what separates a super nice coin from a rare treasure. Everyone looks for different things in a coin or other collectible and to say this is "ignorant" is simply being ignorant.

    I hate to bring up old threads, but isn't this the same guy that bought an AT Anacs morgan and
    tried to sell it raw, with a buy back enormous if graded by NGC or PCGS.
    Or is it just me dreaming?

    Yes.

    The coin in this auction sure looks a lot like one that sold raw on eBay for about $300 and change recently.

    It's good to know some people around here are following the bouncing ball.

    So $300.00-$10,000.00?

    Nah, there's nothing seriously wrong with that.

    Jeeez

    Well, here it is: Colorful Olympic Silver Dollar


    It appears to be the same coin.

    I actually thought the one in Anaconda's listing was the coin he had for sale a few months back for about $3,500, which was also holdered by PCGS. Now there are at least two of them out there!!



  • pharmerpharmer Posts: 8,355
    Thanks for the link, it appears to be the same coin. Isn't the $300 buyer a member here? Sorry if that's already been stated.

    Would be interesting to get commentary from the person who bought the coin from CD!!

    I hope he made an OBSCENE profit selling it to this dealer.

    This would be "Russ-type" profit levels.

    My WAG: around $1k. Nice, but not obscene. If it sells for $10k, that would be obscene.

    Edit: Then again, who knows. Anaconda bid $2.5k on the wild-toned modern commem half, so maybe he paid that much (or more) for this one!!

    I wish!

  • I dont see why people will pay that much money for a coin just because it is toned. It seems to me that toning is because of bad storage practices and/or not taking care of the coins. I dont see how this can give the coin more value if it just basically rusted so to speak. I mean it is pretty much the same thing as rusting eccept it is colorful. I think for a coin to truely get the MS grade it should not have any flaws at all. It should look just like it did when it came out of the mint when it was made. That is just my opinion. But if people like it I cant stop the.
  • stmanstman Posts: 11,352 ✭✭✭✭✭
    WOW, so what y'all sayin'? Do you think for one moment if somebody came along and hit the BIN
    he would actually go through with the transaction and sell it for that much?

  • WOW

    If I had a 5-figure-plus disposable income (which I don't), I would definitely buy that commem. It looks amazing! I like the second pic they show even better than the first. Was that taken in a different light or something?

  • Sorry, didn't feel like drudging through the whole thread. I'll make more of an effort next time.
  • XpipedreamRXpipedreamR Posts: 8,059 ✭✭
    I don't understand. The PCGS price guide, which is usually on the high side, lists this coin in 66DCAM at only $20.
