Sure it's a BEAUTY but really? What would they pay for a tough date in similar condition?  |

With almost 13 million struck for that year, it seems unreasonable to me, too. Might have to check PCGS to see if this is the best they've ever certified, but even with none better, I'd certainly have a hard time justifying paying this kind of money for what is after all a very common issue.

PCGS population 2, 1 better. There are 27 PCGS George V cent registry sets......a big number. Only 0.05 points separate rank 1 from 3, and I notice that #3 has this coin in 65 and just updated this set for a 1916 in MS66 from the Cook collection. I have not worked out the math, but this might change the #1 set in the category.

Like the 1945 5 cents 1945 PCGS Ms-67+ who sold for 3162$ + taxes in a Tcnc auction in 2018, there is somme crazy prices for common coins in top condition  |

I would never pay 10 times more for a coin just because some tag says MS66 vs MS65. But I see they sold another similar one awhile back for big bucks.

I was interested until it got above $3K. If it was the finest known (the 67), then maybe. $4500 US to upgrade from 65 red to 66 red isn't worth it to me.

The #1 and #2 sets are private so you can't see what is in them. But by my calculation this coin would make the #3 set #1. Perhaps the same for #2. #4 is further out but it might put a big dent in its deficit.

You folks have no concept of what "big money" really is, unless you dive deep into Canadian paper money or want to build some mint state graded sets of classic US decimal coins...

But eventually you have to sell into the market you bought from. I wish the Canadian market would to US levels tomorrow.
But only because I already have most of the Canadian coins I want.

Two different situations. I doubt there are many folks how would pay $4000+ for a MS67 1918 US cent. It is understandable when it is a rare coin in top grade, but hard to understand for something so common. Big bucks are chasing common coins with little tags that have MS67 on them. What do you think a dealer would offer if a similar coin were brought to his shop? I doubt any would offer even $1000. |
