If I had the money, I wouldn't buy it. IMO, eye appeal is terrible.

Check the pricing on the seller's other items...

Would anyone actually pull the trigger for that kinda money on ebay? I know I wouldn't even if I had that kind of money to spend. Think it is more so just brand/name recognition for the seller. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

That is a terrible coin for the eye appeal, grade, and color designation. This type of material sits in dealer's cases for years.

Quote:Would anyone actually pull the trigger for that kinda money on ebay? I would. I was in the market for this coin a few years back and was trying to buy one for under $100k, This is the rarest of all Indian cent issues with fewer than 20 examples known. I don't know if it is still the case, but around 2017, this issue was the Indian cent that had sold for the highest price. I think it was north of $200k for a 66 cameo. Most are proof 64 or 65 like this coin, but there are some 65+ and 66 graded examples. I was consulting with Rick Snow about acquiring one with a cameo designation. However, my interest shifted toward historical significance rather than strict rarity and shuffled along to pursue other collecting interests. This particular coin lacks in eye appeal, but can be bought if adequately adjusted for price. In terms of whether I would buy it on ebay, I have bought higher price items on ebay. In general, items for sale have prices that are to some degree negotiable. If buying on ebay results in the best price, I have no qualms buying it there. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

A few notes on both of these. 1.) the 1864L proof in PF65RB was previously sold as a PF64RB on Heritage in 2023 for almost $53K. I don't like the look of this one at all and it should have remained in the 64 holder. https://coins.ha.com/itm/proof-indi...bnail-0715152.) this is not a pattern, it should be classified as a mint error (wrong planchet). It is neither the S1 or S3 PR dies as indicated on the other CN1864L Proofs (4 confirmed). This coin previously sold for almost $2300 in 2023. https://coins.ha.com/itm/patterns/1...bnail-071515All that said, I'm quietly in the market for an 1864L proof, but I am going to be very picky. Unfortunately due to the costs, I may never end up with one. There was a J-357 PCGS PF65RB that I was the underbidder on recently that went for $30K and was a great deal to the buyer. This is a 100% copper version of the 1864L proof (S-2 Dies). Would be 2x the price if it wasn't pure copper! |

No way, even if I had that kind of money to spend on a coin. And actually, if I had that kind of money to spend at all, it wouldn't be for coins.
