  It's modern crap, who cares!!!

  Hey Marty. I've been watching some of the prices on certain mods, particularly clad quarters and am starting to think about having some graded.
  
  I was utterly speechless when I saw some of the prices they command.

  Picture is too small to see. I am not saying it could not go MS65, but we all know how tight the grading services are right now.

  Out of respect for the owner I intentionally cropped this picture so the certification # could not be seen.
  
  I also cropped it so that the auction house's Name could not be seen either. I tracked this piece last night.
  
  It's a PCGS 67 and the last bid shown was $5900. I just checked prices realized and the coin DID NOT SELL.
  
  $5900 plus juice and S/H would have amounted to a tidy sum. I can't believe the coin didn't sell.

  Over $6000 for a 59-D that somehow merits being graded PCGS 67 and it didn't sell?
  
  I wouldn't buy it for half that figure.
  
  I think yours is actually nicer, Boom.

  It's a 1959; it's silver. I say MS66.

  Definitely not worth $6,000 in my book.

  Taking it at face value that PCGS does not know who the submitter is, how does this 2nd coin merit the grade, PCGS 67?
