The nice high grade models sold well earlier, this one is in the Platinum night sale later on tonight.

A couple of major players have re-entered the 144 piece commem. registry race, think they will want this one tonight?---------BigE

    27,600 before or after BP ?

    Lovely coin.

    I guess less than it sold for last time, but what do I know.

    I wonder what grade the coin would receive if it was cracked, dipped to make it blast white and resubmitted. I suspect it would not come back a 68 and probably would not come back a 67.

    Has anyone seen the coin in hand? If so, how clean is the coin under the toning; and how is the luster?

    Super nice example but strictly for the Registry Collector IMO. By far the highest mintage numbers for the series. For my money, nice 66 or 7 will do. image

    << <i>27,600 before or after BP ? >>



    After, if you scroll down in the link you can see that it sold 2/2009 previously.

    It will be interesting to see if the owner makes $$ after having the coin 1 year------BigE

    No matter how much you love toned commems, there are some prices that just don't compute.


    Is that the coin that was in Legends inventory for a long time at 12K?

    Like the '38-D Buff in PC 68 CAC for $21,850., some prices just don't make any sense...

    I have not, but others I know have. The coin is all there including the luster. If you hit the OP's link and scroll down there is a 360 degree rotation of the coin. You can at least get a better visual feel for the coin. MJ

    Lot 2375: Won by Internet bidder for $19,000 ($21,850.00 /w BP).
  • coinguy1coinguy1 Posts: 13,484 ✭✭✭
    Now that I (the "internet bidder") officially owe Heritage an additional $21,850....


    ...on behalf of my client who won it, I don't mind speaking/commenting on this coin. I viewed it in-hand and thought it was all there in terms of both technical quality and beauty. And, for what it's worth, I don't necessarily feel that way about about a large percentage of super high grade coins.

    Congrats to you and your client. Cheaper than the 1938-D Buff in PC 68 and a much neater coin.

    The coin looks nices. Any thoughts on why the coin sold for 20%-25% less this time even with the CAC sticker?

    Mark, I said my top bid was $190.00, not $19,000. Crap, anyone want to buy a 2006 Acura RSX? Only 18,810.

    The monster end commem market has become much more narrow in the last year or so. Some of the solid buyers over the last 8-9 years have either completed their sets or have sold back into the marketplace. During the 2001-2005 years, a $20k-$30K price for a monster commem was common for a low population coin. No longer. Many of those coins have a hard time finding a new home. Those coins must be all there, since the price premium for "nice" are no longer huge.

    The coin is beautiful and is now worth exactly what the buyer paid for it until sold again. Then it will be worth the same, more or less...........MJ

    Is that the commem coin known as The Last Word?
  • CommemDudeCommemDude Posts: 2,347 ✭✭✭✭✭
    No mommam17, the LAST WORD was the neon-striped oregon that traded for $ 68,000 a few years ago or the red Wisconsin that fetched somewhere around 50K .
    I always hope that for the sake of the buyer that there is at least one real underbidder who is not a seller with a buy-back agreement with the auction house. And the underbidder is hopefully young enough to be around the next time the coin comes up for auction. image

    Anyone got pics of the neon stripped Oregon or the red Wisconsin? I'm curious to what these coins look like.

    The neon 1926 oregon was sold in a first generation PCGS67 holder to David Schweitz. The coin was then placed in an NGC68* holder in his personal collection. The collection was then sold to a collector intact, where it resides.

    I believe the red Wisconsin in NCG68 sold for $30K+ and resides with Bingham.
