Unfortunately the coins went straight from the bourse to the safe deposit box; my friend had some legitimate security concerns with such high-end stuff. So, I had no chance to get photos. I will offer in case he wants to get some photo-documentation of his beauties at some later date. His total cash on-hand was about $45K I believe and there wasn't much left when we were done. I expect the Flying Eagle cent was the best score, even though the CC $20 piece cost a bit more. It was definitely entertaining to (temporarily) be able to shop at this price level! |

One thing to note(if you haven't already), is the variety of the 1856 flyer. Usually the main variety to find it's way into a PR slab is the S-9. However, PCGS has recently been calling all 1856 flyers "Proof", even the more valuable traditionally considered business strike S-3. Also, even when they were distinguishing Proof from "Mint State" examples, all TPGs would occassionally call an S-3 a proof. Anyways, an S-3 would be worth quite a bit more in that grade, so it would be worthwhile to investigate if you haven't already. It seems there are quite a few dealers who don't really recognize the difference.

Well, I did get a chance to hold my dream coin, a 1792 Half Disme NGC MS63...it is the most expensive coin I have had the opportunity to hold and examine close-up. Just for s's & g's, I asked what he was asking. He flips the coin over, momentarily smirks, and told me $375,000. I asked him if he would take a check...LOL! This dealer had several coins on hand in the $100,000-500,000 price range. swcoin.ecrater.com
