First, as I had recently said in another thread last week with regard to having learned of the New England 6PENCE and the Noe Variates, I'll repeat here with the 1921-D discovery made today along with the bean it posses, "you learn something new every week on the CCF"  respect Speaking of the bean it posses, Quote:Several of my own coins I wonder if it's the scarcity of the issue grade by a major TPG that earned it the green bean. ~DSFREEWORLD More so than the rarity demand ratio of the coin shared, what the bean SAID to me about the coin is what I have always, and now feel more conviction on, stated and that is a scarcity of some sort existed. And on this 1921-D I was unaware of what that was. I simply chalked it up as foolish, imagine what I think now! I'm gonna hunt junk jars at pawn shops if I ever get the chance! $250! In any event, a sticker indicating rarity to me would have made me judge other wise. Figure out how to sticker 'em on rarity indexes and I bet people would enjoy that. Maybe Who knows  |

If you find a PO01 1921-D in a junk jar you just get melt value. If you find a PO01 1921-D in a PCGS holder and with the CAC sticker then you have a $250 coin. In this case the value is in the holder and the sticker, not in the coin.

Oh I understood the angle. If one is found I n a junk jar and it fit the bill, it's on its way for double down gamble where on the other side Youll either have a $250 coin or a coin thats melt plus $60 for.
I don't even go to pawn junk bins...but that's how some of those coins are found I'd imagine

Dave, I get that. That is precisely why the TPGs came about in the first place. But this then begs this question...
If big time dealer A can not trust big time dealer B to evaluate the coin, then why does big time dealer B have a big time rep?

Congrats dsfreeworld on this thread making the CCF Facebook feed! You've gotten my attention. Quote:

I so look forward to reading the article on that 1921-D Morgan in the next edition of Holder World The Journal of American TPG Holder Collecting. |

Our Quote function puts the cursor at the end of the Quote tags. Many others put the cursor in the center of the tags, and you ran afoul of being in the habit. It's happened to me too. |

Thanks CoinsKelly, guess I am just a analog girl in a digital world. In more ways than one.

Seeing the P01 Morgan with the green bean immediately raises a question. We all know the goal of a low ball collector is to have the lowest grade possible. With that in mind, wouldn't a green bean indicating a P01 coin as superior for the grade actually make the coin less desirable to a low ball collector?

Keep in mind what you want with a P01 coin. You want - the attribute most sought, and the standard considered by TPG's - the least-identifiable coin possible. The standard towards which P01 reaches is zero, not two. The worse it is, the better it is. This is lowballing. |
