I'll be passing for two reasons.
One, I don't have the money.
Two, if I did, I'd rather buy silver bullion right now.

Meh.. it's only a 62.. I'll wait for a 65 to come along before my interests are piqued!
Only kidding... this is far beyond my wallet and resources

Personally I think it will sell. Rather higher than lower.

I would NOT touch that piece, A. It is off grade even though rare B. That market is very thinly traded and there are no outs if you wish to resell. C. 55 K is way better spent on other neat stuff.

Pacific, please remember: grading is subjective. and some collectors have more money than brain.
For some it is a contest of who of his / her collector friends spends the most for the rarest coin. Others "just have to have it" no matter the cost.
U are right, the market is thin, but within that group there are some "very heavy players".
and, lets be honest, would anyone of you have thought that a buyer would pay $ 300,000 for a 1936 CAN cent? EVER?

Actually I would have paid more but since then it would have come down to a choice between the cent and a house to live in, my wife laid down the law.  |

I've never even heard of the website, so I wouldn't have come across such a coin anyway.
Too expensive, and since NFL is not the centre of my collection, it would be a skip no matter what.

Me too, on the 1936 Dot Cent! Except for Mrs.N ,who happens too like housing more than coins , I just don't get it. 47 is right though, you get two stupid guys who have crazy money anything can and does happen. I have witnessed in person many times , Spinks, Christies, Stacks -Bowers , Heritage. Live it is great entertainment. 47 is all too correct about the market being thinly traded at the top as well. In Canadian decimal right now, a lot of super stuff is going unsold at auctions. Maybe the Landon hoard will be very telling in which direction the high end collector coin market will go. Could very well be worth a stop in Toronto in February for the Legacy Sale. Now if I can just convince Mrs. N about a couple of hundred thou......................  ! |

Bonhams has been around for decades and was called Phillips before the name change..
They battle it out with Christies around the world for high end collections of everything ...and especially art..

it is a 1865 and not a 1862... very nice indeed, I may have to wait until I am done high school, pay off my student loans, buy more clipped coins, and then I might...

Nice looking coin! But I'll have to stick with circulation strikes and stay away from the specimen pieces.
