At that price level, it looks like that the business is being advertised, rather than trying to sell the coin via ebay. If they are serious to sell, it would have normally been offered at public auction such as Heritage, or negotiated via private treaty and not appear on the market. Although I do not have doubts about the company offering the coin via ebay, Heritage should have sufficient expertise to verify the holder AND the coin. That is what is known ad 'due diligence', which is necessary at this price level. Who would ship a $130k coin to an anonymous buyer via post or parcel service? |

But if I piled up $130k cash and this coin. Then if I had to choose ... I would pick the $130k
Not me! NGC says it's worth more than that, so I'd take the coin and auction it. |

LOL. I'm probably more of an Ewok. But hey, if you have cookies...

I could buy a lot of cookies with $130k.  Quote:

I guess you're an expert on coins from Endor then? I have to warn you though. My cookies almost got burned in the oven, they're a bit on the dark side now... Anyway, talking about prices for rare coins. Today this hit the news: http://nos.nl/artikel/2143270-zilve...dbedrag.htmlA rare 1 gulden coin from 1867 (mintage: 3 pieces) sold for 104.550 Euro (about $112.500) at an auction yesterday. This makes it the most expensive Dutch coin in history. Second place is now for the first Dutch quarter ever struck (which happened in 1817) at 76.260 Euro (or about $82.000). |

I officially joined the "dark side" when I cherry picked a 1915-H Australian Half Penny with what appeared to be wear, but turned out to be a weak strike for essentially pennies. It graded AU55 by PCGS! I'll let you look up the value!
I really love "World" coins, but am a firm believer in #allcoinsmatter!

I really love "World" coins, but am a firm believer in #allcoinsmatter! I second that! Congrats on the deal with the Aussie penny. That's just amazing. Actually, I do find the term 'world coin' a rather odd one. It's coined by Americans to just put all they don't know on a heap (usually that is everything except American and sometimes Canadian or Mexican coins). You do realize that, technically, to me American coins are 'world coins', right?  |

My only problem is I put coins in Albums. So just where would I get enough of those to fill an Album?  |
