Did anyone see this auction from a couple of weeks ago? A top pop, 1/1 1960 $1 MS68 went for $6,400+ usd. Is it appropriate to share the details if I don't own the coin? It's not really what I collect anyways, but it went for an extraordinary amount.

It is easily looked up on Google for all to see .
Someone obviously buying numbers .
Just laughable that PCGS says that is a 68 !
Any bets that would cross to a 68 ICCS !?

Yeah I tracked that one right to the end and was a little shocked at how high it went. I know being solo top pop that some registry collector was likely to grab it just because but I thought it would be more likely at 2/3 of that price or less. Some people have deep pockets! I agree that the coin sure doesn't look like a 68 and I would have also bet money that it was PL, not MS. Interestingly it hasn't shown up openly in anyone's registry yet. Ultimately I guess any coin is worth what someone will pay for it. I've definitely overpaid for coins myself from time to time so I probably shouldn't throw stones. :)

@Tripoli. ICCS have used 68 in the Past .
I had the solo finest 1956 Dollar which was graded
in the Early 1990s old two letter PL 68 before they put
cameo or heavy cameo on the holders .

Ive heard from someone here that a few Cornerstone coins were graded Sp-68 in old holders.... That 1956 PL dollar must have been special !  Edited by Dollar 1935

Just regarding the old use of 68 by ICCS...would be worth noting that last year ICCS issued a crossgrade ticket for a 1934 half in SP68...the dealer who achieved this crossgrade remarked to me that Scott said he wished he could 69 it..or something to that effect...so it's still possible!
Feel free to call me Will.

Extremely laughable.
Spend $6400 on a top grade 1960 dollar or $6400 on silver.
Wait 10 years....
1960 will be $1500 (because many more will be graded as such) and silver will be $25,000 (inflation).

I can hear 60's coming out of the drawers and closets now. With 1.5 million minted, it wasn't a coin that people put away for 30-40 years, hoping for appreciation. More will come out and "top pop" #'s will be gone.

Completely agree, only a matter of time until a bunch of 60s are graded in MS67.

Totally agree.
Look at how much the ICCS ms65 prices for QEII dollars have fallen off the map.
Not too long ago ms65 1967's were $900.
1953 ms65's were over $1000.
and so on...........
