    Cameo proof Trade Dollars are very high on the coolness meter.

    Nice coin- any guesses where this one will hammer out?
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    IF it's a legitimate deep cameo example, I'd estimate a sale price of between $9000 and $11,000.

    Mark, is there a chance that NGC misgraded it?

    Thanks.

    Rob, of course there is - grading is subjective and imperfect.

    But, my main point was that often, the designations (cameo, deep/ultra cameo, etc.) are just as subjective and inconsistent as the grades themselves.

    A true, no-brainer deep/ultra cameo is worth a hefty premium (50% or more) over a non-cameo'd example. However, many deep/ultra-cameo's are virtually indistinguishable from cameo's. Accordingly, the premiums charged and paid for them aren't worth it.

    For the record, I bid on this coin, but at a conservative level, as this is, to some extent, a sight-unseen purchase.

    Yea, verily.

  • Very nice trade $.

    If not the price tag,the private feedback would've detered me from bidding.

    I seldom trust anybody.

    Why do they call themselves Rareland instead of dealer name? Seems odd.image

    My wife just found out I bid $8,000 for this coin and she flipped her lid. Now she wants her Corian counters. Note to self: log off laptop before you go play basketball at the YMCA!
