I can't believe it didn't sell. Maybe he will relist it. I did check his ebay listings, and he has the best selection of damaged Kennedy halves I have ever seen. Including several impaired proofs. None of those are slabbed though. |

You people underestimate the rarity of this choice specimen. PCGS lists a population of only 3 in this grade, and NGC only has only 1 graded. Compare this to 60 1893-S morgans graded by PCGS/NGC. This coin is 15x rarer than the 1893-S morgans that cost $40,000 in AU-55. Now, for less than $10, that's right you heard me, less than ten dollars, you too can own your own numismatic rarity.  This item ships free! This coin is a major deal, at only 0.025% of the price and 15x the rarity this is sure to explode in value when collectors realize it's true rarity. Buy now or regret it later!!  Edited by zxcccxz

He may have thought it was a doubled die.

Submitter may have thought it was a high grade mint state. Then it would be worth 15 cents instead of only 10.

That's about $9 high even if it was a FB.

I'm surprised that pawn stars hasn't started getting their pocket change graded and throw on an old man or chumlee label it "owned by pawn stars"... Some very smart person would buy it

Just to be contrarian... and to play devil's advocate...
Actually, I think this coin has a lot of value.
If you're learning to grade coins, clads can be quite tough. So a properly graded AU modern clad from that period would be a very valuable learning tool. If I didn't know how to grade - and even if I did - I'd be likely to take and store some high res photographs of the coin.
Some coins are AU because they're worn, and that's easy to see on silver. On clad, the wear sometimes isn't the same, the discoloration isn't as obvious, and coins that are simply marked a lot from circulation and show trace wear can grade 55. Whereas coins from early American that were struck softly and have discoloration from years of "cabinet wear" that look AU 50 can be 63.
I think there's actually some value here. There's something to be learned. And hey, the seller is probably just trying to recoup the submission fees.
Just playing devil's advocate. : )

I see this kinda thing all the time, and even see them sold occasionally. Post mass numbers of coins price high and take their chances, I think.
