Auctions in the January FUN Signature Sale that I'll be watching VERY closely.

Russ · December 5, 2008 7:23AM

The interesting thing about these coins is that the last time examples graded at this level came to market was in the January 2008 FUN sale. So, it will be one year later, and the same sale.

1965 PCGS MS67DCAM SMS Kennedy.

Sold for $12,650 last time around, and it's the same coin.

1966 PCGS MS68DCAM SMS Kennedy.

Sold for $10,925 last time around, and it's the same coin.

1967 PCGS MS68DCAM SMS Kennedy.

Sold for $5750 last time around, but it was a different coin. This is example is signficantly better than the last one.

1964 PCGS PR68DCAM Accented Hair Kennedy.

Sold for $12,650 last time around, and it's the same coin.

FUN should be interesting. All of 2009 should be interesting.

CertifiedGoldCoins · December 5, 2008 7:41AM

Russ · December 13, 2008 8:43AM

Now open for bidding!

FUN should be interesting. All of 2009 should be interesting.

I'm eagerly looking forward to it! But I have a high tolerance for pain.

I think the 2009 auction season is going to be a blood bath.......not the kind we are used to. I hope the Kennedys do well for you Russ.

Russ · December 13, 2008 9:12AM

<< I hope the Kennedys do well for you Russ. >>

They aren't mine. I'm just watching them.

I just saw my email with my want list items. Some gorgeous stuff...but way out of my reach.

Maybe I'll have to sell everything else I own in the next few weeks to make a newp.

sinin1 · December 13, 2008 9:15AM

Russ,
have the populations changed much?

I remember someone showing their 1964 PR68 DCAM on the registry forum that they just made

do you think the seller 's (previous buyer) plan was to sell exactly one year later?

does Heritage give commssion breaks to big consignors?

and what about reserve not met fees?

Cameonut · December 13, 2008 9:19AM

I will be watching but not bidding.

Let's not forget that the 1967 is from the Birthmark Die - Heritage is lax in not noting that.

Russ · December 13, 2008 9:27AM

<< have the populations changed much? >>

The pops on all four of these haven't changed in over five years.

Russ, NCNE

Russ · January 7, 2009 4:59AM

About 8 hours to close of internet bidding with live coming up tomorrow, and a long way to go to match last year's realized prices.

Watching but not bidding!

wondercoin · January 7, 2009 5:03AM

I remember watching Bear watching his own cool SMS Kennedy coins being auctioned off a long, long time ago!

You should bid on the Accented Hair. It's formerly Jay Ross Collection.

I can't imagine that is too hard to figure out. Good luck bringing him home to meet up with the rest of the family.

darktone · January 7, 2009 9:03AM

Russ- what are your predictions for selling prices?

Russ · January 7, 2009 9:11AM

<< Russ- what are your predictions for selling prices? >>

A lot less than last time. Of course last time my predictions were low, so who knows? But, I do think the market is softer now then it was a year ago.

19Lyds · January 8, 2009 3:01AM

Getting close to that "Box of 20" hey Russ?

Connecticoin · January 8, 2009 8:40PM

64 AH Sold for $11.5k. Not too shabby in this environment.

Russ · January 9, 2009 2:20AM

I'm surprised, (pleasantly, of course), that it held up that well.

Russ, NCNE

Russ · January 10, 2009 3:54AM

The final coin, the 1967 SMS, brought $9775 making it the only one that beat last year.

I think there's a perceived scarcity due to excessive hoarding.

Sean Reynolds

Russ · January 10, 2009 4:12AM

Could be.

The hoarder got outbid, though.
