I believe this eBay win has the potential of being something kind of special

When I happened upon this Grant commemorative I knew it was something that could be very special.

Do you agree?

Sold at Heritage for $150.

Just guessing; Proof or Prooflike?

<< <i>Just guessing; Proof or Prooflike? >>

There are no known Proofs, although NGC has designated two of the Grant/Star coins "specimen". And none have been designated PL either. The subject coin looks lustrous/flashy, but I don't see anything special about it, beyond that.

I don't see what you see but I hope you see what you see when you get it in hand...

Judging from the Heritage Photo's, I'm just not seeing anything special.

A profit of $ 58.50

Looks to be oozing luster. Perhaps undergraded, too?

I dunno ... it sold for basically an MS64 price, an it seems unlikely to make a 2-point jump, if that's what you're getting at ... but it is uncommonly lustrous and attractive, I'll give it that. These are usually kind of dull.

Exactly.

I have no problem paying a premium for coins like this.
I haven't seen one with this much luster.

Not looking to flip it (I know I'm a bit buried on the price) but I do know that in my collecting life, usually if a coin speaks to me it speaks to others down the road as well.

Here's my MS64 for comparison....

That is a very nice Grant. You did well.

Justacommeman · December 14, 2009 11:08AM

Pat, here is a Grant that received a star from NGC. Surprising star for a white coin, but it is flashy. My Grant with star the cheap way : ) --------66*.............Pat, you did real good. Great looking coin. MJ

braddick · December 14, 2009 11:11AM

Great coin with a lot of history behind it.
Always wanted one that was original and flashy.

Thanks for your opinion guys.

My guess is that this pictured is overexposed. It's too bright overall. I hope I'm wrong and you got a steal.

PawPaul · December 14, 2009 11:40AM

....... i like it

BXBOY143 · December 14, 2009 11:43AM

something just dosent seem right about it....

PawPaul · December 14, 2009 11:55AM

......since you asked ; about potential and all ..........

I will lay it on the line :

such a coin is a prime target for an A.T. job .......

remove/cover the defects , overlay the super luster with a coating of fantastic rainbow color and get it in a NGC Star slab @ MS 66 or 67 ......
