DopeyBovineMan New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 09/04/2010 8:13 pm Hi, First post here. I went to the EX today. (It's like a fair in Toronto, Canada). At a coin booth a 1967 proof goose dollar caught my eye. I ended up paying 18 dollars CAD for it. It's in 99.99% perfect shape, No fingerprints, scratches, not even lint. The detail is amazing, and it has a really defined strike, No wear whatsoever. Was this a good buy? Why or why not? Report this Post to the Staff

DopeyBovineMan New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 09/04/2010 9:14 pm Here's a picture of the coin. It's so shiny it actually messed up the shot. You can see how good of condition it's in. Could it even be worth more than 18 bucks? http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/...c00699my.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 09/05/2010 12:59 am Dopey, PL sets sell for $25, so $18 is a fair price. https://www.jandm.com/script/getite...CID=5&PID=20 Your pic is over exposed so it is hard to tell if you have HC or not. At best, certified PL-65 would fetch $40. Compare with this 1967 HC here at $23: [eBayItem]130427757661[/eBayItem] Report this Post to the Staff
jimgimli New Member Canada 39 Posts	Posted 09/05/2010 01:05 am Worth more? My Mom always told its only worth what someone will pay for it! Charlton lists an ms64 at 60$ Nice coin btw! Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 09/05/2010 01:16 am Jim, MS64 refers to the business strike and is valued higher than Dopey's coin. PL is a lot more common than higher grade MS. MS65 would be worth close to $800. MS66 ... $?,? Report this Post to the Staff
1cent Pillar of the Community Canada 1051 Posts	Posted 09/06/2010 9:57 pm I believe there was an MS-65 for sale recently for $500, not sure if it sold or not. These are not very good days for sellers of gem coins. DBM, the overall condition and cameo effect of your coin (which I would guess is a specimen strike) would be largely determined from the front, or "Queen" (a.k.a. obverse) side of the coin. edit: as the coin looks fully brilliant, it was more likely pulled from a PL set, not a specimen set. Sometimes I type before I think. Edited by 1cent 09/07/2010 02:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
