Freespeech57 Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted Yesterday 6:26 pm This 1963 Franklin half is graded by PCGS as a PR67. Greysheet $36.00, CPG (retail) $60.00. Yet current high bid is $10,500! Currently 9 bidders and 25 bids. Why? A very early PCGS label (possibly the 340th coin graded by PCGS) seems to be the attraction. Still 17 days left on the auction. . . Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6771 Posts	Posted Today 2H 19M ago I think if one is to embrace this hobby and its many treasures, one must also accept that there are some real absurdities in coin collecting. I'm not sure I would pay $10000 for a screwdriver with provenance from assembling the first airplane at Kitty Hawk. This? This is a plastic slab encasing a coin. =P Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 193261 Posts	Posted Today 1H 2M ago Well, if you were going to buy the holder and not the coin, this would probably be a good enough choice. Not my thing though.
