Another Doily slips under the radar?

Looks like this one had very little fanfare.

blu62vette · July 11, 2011 12:15PM

Price pending, what were the last bids?

illini420 · July 11, 2011 12:17PM

It didn't go unnoticed... last bid I saw was at $230. Who knows what the final bid was.

coirn · July 11, 2011 12:23PM

I was out at $220. but that's just because I'm cheap.
There are plenty of Morgans and they go for anywhere from $200. to $400. in about that grade. Very few Peace dollar in comparison.

$230 was it.

At the price realized it didn't go unnoticed.

Maybe it's just me, but $230 + BP + shipping makes it around $275 and that doesn't exactly sound too cheap for an MS64 Peace Dollar... but given the price that butt ugly Grant commem problem coin doily sold for at Heritage yesterday, maybe this one was a steal?

This $64 coin (from past TT auctions) most certainly did not go unnoticed at $265 which includes the buyers premium. Throw in $7.50 for shipping and possible Sales tax and you're approching $300 for that label.

Of course, the promotional threads aren't keeping the costs down.

What an absolute steal, how did I let that one slip through the cracks??

It's just a shame it wasn't one of the ultra rare doily holders autographed by Jessica Lynch or Frank Gasparro, I hear those are now bringing $2 MIL or more at Christy's auctions in Europe.

messydesk · July 12, 2011 4:33AM

I wonder why the Chinese are bothering with fake coins. All they have to do is print up some doily labels, keep counterfeiting the old slabs, and reholder genuine OGH coins with the fake doily labels with their original grade and serial number.

coirn · July 12, 2011 7:03AM

The irony is you've got a collector here who collects the most common coin on the planet, the Morgan dollar; another who collects modern clad dollars and another who collects coins still found in circulation, yet are all able to mock those who find the Doily holder a fun diversion within this hobby?
Now [i[that's comical.

Kettle, please meet Mr. Pot.

A commem on Sunday brought a similar price.

BAJJERFAN · July 12, 2011 10:03AM

<< A commem on Sunday brought a similar price. >>

oreville · July 12, 2011 10:20AM

<< what auction was this at heritage were a bunch of doilys were sol >>

There wasn't one. Just this recent item on Heritage. MS64 Grant in a doily for $250 with premium LOT #10178

Search for a thread with this title.

Still some steals at Heritage!

From "the thread".

The OP here is newbe in one post and an expert in another.

Realone, I a confused by this too.

The Grant was one worst eye appeal coins for a PCGS coin I have even seen.

I would not be shocked to learn PCGS bought the coin to take off the market. >>

Well it sold for $632 so there was some meat on the bone wasnt there?

Yes. A "noooobieee" when it comes to the reasoning and validity of collecting common as dirt struck-by-the-millions-and-hoarded-in-bank-vault Morgans with a passion yet disssssing others who collect Doilys.
Yes. A seasoned veteran expert when it comes to... well.

There is no evidence I am really any of the above.

NotSure · July 13, 2011 10:18AM

gettyongo12 will be along to give us his opinion, I'm sure.

DRUNNER · July 14, 2011 4:52PM

Gents . . .

Posted in the other thread in much more detail, but I am now regretting the fact I actually had a life and was off the computer for 9 days. I could have been here and had some real fun with the Doily collecting, bashing, defending, and (ahem) self-promoting.

I apparently lost out on a couple of Doilies that someone else (for whatever ludicrous reason) found interesting. I may have to do more of that to see what would happen in the Doily market without my hype!

Ugh. But, I saw a bear cross the road just 4 miles outside of Provo, UT as I was heading up Spanish Fork Canyon last week on the way to Gunny. First bear spotting in Utah in 50 years although I've lived in the mountains waaaaaaaaay too much. Remember that line from Jaws when Roy Scheider tells 'Quint' "You're gonna need a bigger boat!"? Well, I'm gonna need a bigger gun! That sucker crossed 4 lanes of highway in 3 long leaps.

Have a good night!
