I'm impressed by the CCF expertise on estimating the grade - especially given the sub standard image size.

Thanks for participating.

Here you go, in the PCGS holder:


Guess-The-Grade:-1909-S-VDB-LWC

I purchased this slabbed in March 2014 for $3300. I sent it to CAC for the green bean.

I'm not looking to sell it anytime soon so don't really have a sense of current market value for a coin such as this.

Does anyone have an estimate of current retail value?

I posted as you revealed the grade. That's a lot of RD for a RB.

Current retail? It looks like a $5k coin to me.

I already knew the answer. GTP Season 47, Round 7. Which is why I offered no guess nor hints here since you gave me the grade in your submission.

Indeed jbuck. I knew it had played on GTP a while ago and thought someone other than you might have remembered it.

As I'm going through my collection, I'll have a few more GTP beauties to share.

With larger images this time!

PCGS has it at $5200. Since you have the CAC sticker, that might add $1000. Put it up at $6200 obo.

My god, I'm sure that's accurate, but a shock to an old guy like me.

Thanks for that info.

Wow - I paid $3350 ten years ago, plus a few bucks for the CAC evaluation and green bean.

I suppose that goes to show that quality in-demand coins will always be quality in-demand coins with commensurate increases in value.

I have a few more to share as I go through my 'key coins' collection. Coming soon.

This makes me think. imagine purchasing this coin in 1950. take a look at the pricing in the Wayte Raymond THE STANDARD CATALOGUE of United States coins From 1652 to Present Day - published in 1950.
