What would you do?? 1889-CC advise needed...

MS70ORBUST · December 5, 2005 9:47AM

I would like to have a "nice" graded or ungraded 1889-CC and would like to know your decision. I have about $2200 worth of the 1999 and 2001 silver proofs sets. Would you sell these sets to buy a nice 1889-CC or hold the silver proof sets? I think I know the answer, but want to hear other opinions.

Any suggestions for a different low pops coin?

I would like to have at least an F12 1889-CC and would like to know what is a good price to pay for this grade in slabbed and unslabbed condition?

Please help with how much I should pay. I know it will vary depending on the coin, but an average will help.

Thanks for any input.

probably aroun $400 slabbed and around half that raw

Hold the silver proofs until 2009 then sell away

<< Hold the silver proofs until 2009 then sell away >>

Just to let you know the silver proofs are todays value. I dont have that many sets, 4-1999, 7-2001.

If you are talking Morgan $, you are gonna pay more than $400 for a F12.......

Yes, it is a Morgan, forgot to put in thread.

I agree, I was thinking 600-800, is 900 a little high?

DNADave · December 5, 2005 10:09AM

The Morgan I posted is an F12, you can do way better for the money you have.

BTW, I traded in about $300.00 face of 40% silver and some other junk 90% to buy it. I only have about $500 in it and was willing to pay the full retail price of $900.00 for it.

Just as I thought, plan on spending about $1000.00 for a F12 specimen of the SEMI-KEY date coin!

Guess not... I didnt know..

I'd sell the proofs in a heartbeat for a nice 1889CC

coinkat · December 5, 2005 10:29AM

DNA Dave... not a bad example... and looks okay... even inspite of pictures that I had nothing to do with...

Bye-bye proofsets, Hello Carson City!

My thoughts also. Its just that the offers I have are right at the Coin Value and PCGS price guide. Dont those guides seem a little high if your the buyer? I'm just hung up on what to pay.

I think you can do best at a show or on a Heritage auction. JMHO.

I would say sell off some of the spare proof sets and get the CC Dollar.....

Holding on to a few of these sets is likely advisable however.....

messydesk · December 5, 2005 11:15AM

Keep 2 of each of the proof sets, and buy about $1200 worth of 89-CC. If these sets make a bigger run in the future than your 89-CC, sell one more of each and upgrade your dollar.

What would you do?? 1889-CC advise needed...
