And the 1866 DuPont silver dollar was recovered after missing for 37 years. Not to mention the 1933 Double Eagles that were all stolen from the mint. To say the 94-S Barber dime that was stolen "probably never will be" recovered is pure speculation. I'll go out on a limb and proclaim that it probably will be recovered. |

Eventually greed wins out over circumspection...many stolen items turn up after decades when a heir or relative or pawn shop/estate sale finds them and (knowingly or unknowingly) puts them up for sale without realizing the history...

Number one on my list. Guess that hole will remain a bit longer.
Now to debate the Doc. A PF66BM sold in 2016 through Heritage at the FUN Show for $1,997,500 while one a grade higher (PF64) sold through Stack's back in 2007 for $1,552,000. Being this one has some great toning going on, I would not be surprised if it broke the $2 million mark. I'm basing this on some moderns I've seen recently that far exceed the estimates. Stupid money in my opinion. So a rarity such as this should be no exception in the current market. Bragging rights to be sure.

Quote:To say the 94-S Barber dime that was stolen "probably never will be" recovered is pure speculation. Of course it's speculation just as it's speculation that it will be recovered. The double eagles were a different story entirely and whatever ones are left out there won't be surfacing in the US if at all after what happened with those and some other coins. Regardless if it takes 40-50+ years for something to surface again (which would then be a big legal battle over ownership and money) it essentially doesn't exist. It just doesn't matter if it will most likely be gone for the rest of someones life like the 54-S has been. Until it's recovered and the legal battle is ended it should just be considered lost |

and sold for $1,320,000. I'm not sure if a buyer's premium is included in the final cost or not.

Congrats to Mr. Hansen for winning this coin. Just a few away from his complete collection of U.S. coins.

Question, why is this considered a legitimate coin, with mintage this low? Should be a novelty coin, much like the 1913 V nickel, JMHO. Edited by thecoinguy1964

Novelties are trinkets from a gift shop or rolling out a penny at the zoo hand crank machine. That said being out of reach for most collectors most wouldn't consider it necessary for their own complete set |
