$5000 and counting for this Binion Morgan?

I think I'm going to stick with cheap toners. This is a nice coin, but $5k?

    That's a bit steep- I wonder how much the pedigree is adding on to the bidding......

    I agree Eric- Just think- I would be willing to sell this nice 86 for only 75% of that priceimage

    That's scary money, and if you look at the TCCS Forum, there's a Binion 3 times as nice owned by a member here!!

    Taking a good look at the coin with the DjVu image, it sure looks like a 63 that was bumped for the color. The consignor is dreaming.

    Some stiff reserves also showed up on some Rainbow toned Morgans at a Long Beach auction. I agree, too much for that example in that grade.

    Looks like my bid of $300.00 is just not going to nring that baby home.

    Eric,I have seen that coin in hand and offered 1200.The seller didnt accept.Its a legit 64,but with NO shot at a 65.The consignor thinks more of the coin than we do i guess.image

    I agree. I was thinking around $1500 max.
  • That was a fair offer loyd. It has solid eye appeal.........but not $5000 dollars worth image

    I have paid almost 5000 for a monster toned common date,but certainly NOT in a 64 holder.Actually,not in a 65 holder either.image
