But for a coin this scarce, why so many? ebay is currently listing 10% of the entire PCGS Population of 62. And why so expensive? Make me a deal I can't refuse....

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 5:12 pm Sellers of big ticket items do not expect them to sell on ebay. They are just advertising them. Look for upcoming large auctions and you'll find some of them list there. Stack's and Bowers has a big auction in a week or so. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 07:58 am Only 5% of the PCGS population, 3 coins. The other 3 are NGC and don't count against the PCGS population. Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 08:58 am I realize that it's not the same grading service Gary. It's still a big chunk of a small population to appear at one time. Maybe just an odd coincidence, and not what I'd call buyer's market prices.

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 08/08/2019 9:28 pm Wow. A bit high, indeed. Perhaps the recent rise in the gold market? Or a shift in the market place driving them higher? ANA member - PAN Member - BCCS Member There are no problems only solutions - the late, great John Lennon Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/08/2019 10:13 pm The problem with scarce coins is that they sometimes have scarce buyers. I agree that the ebay listings are probably "teaser" or "come-on" listings where the sellers are not reasonably expecting to get a purchase at those prices, but list it anyway for advertising and also just in case there's that one in a million collector out there who's so desperate for one right this very second that they'll overpay by a lot to scratch the itch.

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 08/08/2019 11:44 pm Two sellers have four of the coins. Maybe an estate being dispersed? "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Edited by thq 08/08/2019 11:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
