Oh yeah!! That will be a high ticket item.

Starting bid of $56k is higher than PCGS price guide for this NGC coin. My guess is that it does NOT sell in this economy. Steve

Can you say 65RB?

Oops.....

The starting bid is $6,000 not $56,000

My goof. Sorry. This should be an interesting auction. Steve

Steve-

You may have made a typo, but the coin still looks like a 66. That original number may not be so unrealistic!

Looks pretty, but haven't seen enough of these to make a claim of whether it could go 66. Can a coin with fly specks, a spot between "ONE CENT," and the marks on the rims really be a 66??? Also, based on the photos, any chance this coin is really RD and not RB???

It's relatively clean and has nice eye appeal (at least from the image).
This coin should sell and sell for a good price would be my guess.

The specks and reverse spot seem unobtrusive, and the obverse strike is exceedingly strong for a VDB, so yes, a '66 is not out of the question. Depending on the in-hand eye appeal, this coin may bring some real money.

Would that mark on the rim be a problem?

Duane · March 5, 2009 5:54AM

It's the reverse nicks that concern me. I did not look closely before, and did not even realize the coin is in a Non-PCGS holder. Will those inhibit the cross-over?

Tex-what's your opinion of the color? Red, RB or other??

DMWJR · March 5, 2009 6:25AM

From the image, it looks pretty nice and worth an in hand look with the potential to be a PCGS 65. Can't judge the color of copper by a Stack's photo though.

Maybe the white balance is off, but doesn't it look a little yellow? Like jaundice yellow? Another "must see in hand" candidate IMHO, especially when buying on the premise of having it crossed over to PCGS.

Jaundiced! Are you saying Abe has a liver problem?

Seriously, the photo is all off; yellow patina and not even a little luster showing. In-hand must-see for sure. But I think that the rim dings are the most bothersome element of a cross-over or up for me. For example, the reverse 'indent' between the "E" and "P" in E Pluribus looks pretty deep, IMHO. We'll see how it looks in-hand. Maybe those shortcomings are not so glaring? Anyone else seeing this?
