I got excited, thinking I was going to buy your current 1877 at a good price.  Nice dream coin, though. Way out of my league regardless how much it is.  |

GR58 - You have a budget? My budget consists of looking at a coin that I really want and saying "too much". Since I only occasionally look at the few coins I do have, I like to consider my LCS as my collection as I see his stuff more often than mine anyway. It works out OK until he sells something I didn't want to part with and I then have to have words with him, some with a sharpish edge.

Greysheet is Bid $10,000 / Ask $11,000 Right but, how many are out there and/or on the market not to mention at this level, your dealing with a collector/investor with the pockets to put together an MS set more than likely. If I can see LIBERTY, I'm happy  Wonder what Rick paid for it  swcoin.ecrater.com

I have found this pc is with doubled die obverse, "United..."? Does this affect the coin's value? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but the doubling you're seeing is Machine Doubling since it surrounds the letters on both sides. |

I'm fine with a 1909 that is in the same grade and looks the same. Just for my type set.

My 1877 needs to have some honest wear and tear. The one currently in my album is an AG with some pitting. I happen to like this coin very much because it has a bold date I have a VG but it's surrounded by PCGS plastic  swcoin.ecrater.com

Heritage's record sale for a 65RB is under $15k.

Makes you wonder if this will ever sell at this price point.
I think Rare Coin Wholesalers had a PCGS 66RD that was going for stupid money.

I pay more for photo sealed coins (to a limit of course). I do agree that this coin is a bit overpriced, but Rick is usually more conservative than the graders and CAC. Of the many raw coins I have bought from him, my experience is that they have graded two or three grades higher than what he assigns. His raw coins are usually a pretty good deal.

I understand this coin is more of a investment grade. I like to think that even investors do not like to over pay. But then a look at numismedia's prices does show why this coin might be listed this high. Quote:
