Would you figure out how to contact the current owners and make them an offer? Or are these coins only for sale when they hit the auction block? Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15395 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 04:46 am Interesting question - you can apply it to any of the major rarities. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Maine Member Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 07/05/2023 6:01 pm Many years ago I worked at a busy profitable restaurant, and there were rumors among the employees that the establishment was for sale. I had the opportunity to direct the question of pending sale to the owner, and he replied......Young Man, Everything is for Sale if the Price is Right. 12 Months later, the establishment was sold. My advice FWIW, find an owner of these fine numismatic treasures, and just ask. What the piece is worth is the price that someone will pay for it. Good Luck, seriously. Report this Post to the Staff

I would settle for whatever condition I could afford, which for me right now would be in the $100 to $200 range. Report this Post to the Staff
