jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3151 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 6:01 pm Very nice coin but what am I missing as far as why the bid is over $750? https://www.ebay.com/itm/187405944725 Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5391 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 6:09 pm Possibly undergraded in the eyes of two or more individuals who would really like the coin. Who knows these days . It is pretty much whatever it takes to buy something . Looks very pleasing and original . Report this Post to the Staff
TimNH Valued Member United States 416 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 7:38 pm PCGS has this at $950, and it's nice looking, so $750 (sold at $754) doesn't seem like too high a bid. https://www.pcgs.com/prices/detail/...des-25-60/ms Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3151 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 7:42 pm I guess so but hard to imagine paying full pcgs retail price. Also hard to think $754 is a bargain. Report this Post to the Staff

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 07/15/2025 07:34 am Appears to be an N12 and if so, most recent auction hammer listed on PCGS was for $1020. Could be a bargain, comparatively. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
