    "Bust Half" + "PCGS AU-58" = pricing bubble

    I wish someone would stick a pin in the bubble

    Bill,

    I agree, but it appears to be a finest known( for a 58). Maybe there is a 7 hiding under the last 8.image

    Definitely nice and worthy of an excellent AU-58 collection, but the price is just TOO much!

    Man... I would love to own it. I might have to sell some classic gold tho...

    For a bust half it's very nice. For an '08 that is damn nice.

    And don't forget, you're paying for that CAC sticker...

    it does look a lot nicer than an au58.

    If there is a 7 under that last 8...............it's priced right!

    I would Love to be her keeper for a time, Far beyond my reach,
    but for the reality of it all:

    Probably one of the truer graded ones out there.

    Can't be higher than 58

    Wear is wear PERIOD.

    MS is for MINT STATE

    I thought that coin looked familiar (though I may be thinking of your '07 that had similar toning).

    Or alternatively, maybe they'll have AU-62. If you're going to price coins with the numerical designation, let's at least get the AU vs. MS thing right...

    Actually I don't think so. I believe it was priced at this level before going to the sticker mill. I do happen to know for a fact he paid strong for this coin, and he likes to have nice coins and appreciates them. OH GAWD, did I bury a dealer in a coin?image I don't think so, and I don't think he does either. He will sell it to the right person that appreciates it.

    I've sold him a fair amount of coins through the years (all for strong money), and he still buys them from me.

    Nice coin, albeit too rich for my blood.
