I recently visited a shop and found this in one of the rotator display cases...



Coin-Dealers-Do-Funny-Things



I asked about the price as I thought they were worth much more than the $5 he had it marked at.

His reply was "yeah, they were, but they have really dropped in price recently.... if you really want it you can have it for $3."

I didn't argue.

And I like the color of the ANACS label much more than their yellow ones.

It looks like the coin was colorized from here, maybe that's the reason for the discount?

Awesome score.

I think the original $5 asking price was even a very good price.

llewellin, it's a reverse proof so it's supposed to look like that.

On ebay these things are selling for $35+... Let me know if that dealer has any more of those!

I'm not into slabbed coins, but hey!, how could you resist at a price of $3?

Geez! That's crazy. Nice score!

It would be interesting to know the history of that coin's short life.

Question, Why is this in a blue label holder? They stopped using the blue labels except for reholdering of older ANACS slabs in late 2008.

HSN special.

The ANACS CERTIFIED on the label is a dead giveaway as it is only (as far as I know) found on their offerings.

Now if only they had the edge view holders for coins other than the edge lettered golden dollar coins so I could send in my triple clipped partial collar half.
