Think if I call him and offer 2 grand he'll hold it for me until I can drive up there?

There are a lot of people out there that far more money than sense so it could sell.

At least he's honest with the mintage, over 1 billion coins minted. I can't believe that out of over 1 billion coins, only 2 have been graded that high. What does numismedia have this listed at?

Numismedia lists an MS-67 example at $810.00. I would argue that the reason only two have been graded that high is most people aren't going to fork out the cash to get a 64 nickel graded. I can't count how many I've come across in rolls, and many in great condition.

That's true, full steps always raise the price too.

Numismedia has a 1964 d graded ms66 priced at $7310. Ms67 isn't even listed. And if I had a great looking 1964 nickel, I would definitely think about sending it in for grading. they go for big bucks in high grades. |

In the past few weeks I have been seeing a lot of coins being sold locally like this. I think people are starting to get desperate for money and are trying to get the most out of their "investments." There is one guy who is trying to see some Iditarod coins from the Alaska Mint. They are one oz. of silver but he is asking hundreds of dollars for them. No body is biting. I just hope nobody pays a lot for some coins that are common.

I would have never guessed that was 67 or full steps had it been in our grading forum

CoinWorld lists a MS 65 FS as 750. No value for anything higher. A 63 MS66 FS lists at a grand. So the price he is asking is in line with the values listed.

65% drop in realized price in 4 years. Ouch.

I just couldn'y imagine spending $7,000 on a 1964 Jefferson, just seems out of line to me.
