This one went for $280 + 15% juice = $322 @ Heritage auction June 2008.
It was graded F-VF with evidence of mount removal.

I was going to guess $600, but we'll know in a few hours tonight. His current round of auctions seem to be attracting quite a bit of attention. The prices on the nice XF/AU/lower MS talers can be quite subjective, and price guides offer rough price ranges at best.

Already above what I would have expected...

<< <i>Already above what I would have expected... >>

I agree wayyyyyyyyy above !!

yeah. I don't know who the top bidder is, but given his feedback score is 15459, I'm guessing he isn't a novice!

coin has an unnatural harshly cleaned appearance to it. looks like they net graded it, instead of body bagging it like they should have.

The exactly same specimen sold raw in a public auction 1st of september 2008 at 650 Euros plus juices. (That added up to 1137 USD at the time).

Doesn't seem like the seller got much premium for the slabbing. Taking the ebay fees and the slabbing costs into account, I guess that the seller lost 100-150 dollars or so on this coin.

But of course, he had the pleasure of owning it for half a year.

interesting, so apparently the coin is worth somewhere around $1000! Thanks.
