coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 11/18/2009 1:21 pm I don't know, maybe they're grading it F-15 or VF-20, but even at that grade, it can't be worth $3000! It's cleaned and pretty obviously corroded too, jeesh some buyers are crazy. I've had times when I bid 'high' on a coin I thought was worth $800 because I liked it ($750) and end up getting outbid by $500, but this seriously takes the cake. And no, I did not bid. Just friggin' crazy, heh. Oh btw, here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWAX:IT Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/18/2009 1:44 pm Is it wrong to point and laugh? Maybe those 3 bidders thought--"I'll win this, no matter what!" Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 11/18/2009 2:12 pm This can't be worth that much more than $1500, if not only $1000 with all the problems its got... Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/18/2009 2:17 pm Yeah...that makes more sense, seeing how that was obviously scrubbed to bare metal. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/18/2009 4:09 pm The bidders may have just gone nuts because it is a fairly rare coin but they are out there if you look hard enough, Heritage auctioned 14 of them since 2008 with hammered prices between $402.50(a thoroughly abused G-6) and $37,375(an original AU-55). Below VF problem coins typically auctioned for less than $2000. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/25/2009 6:22 pm $5K? That's a MS64 price--is that $2.5 really MS? Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 11/26/2009 12:14 pm It's probably MS and it has a strong strike, but I would not ever pay MS-64 money for it. Maybe AU-58 in hopes of getting an MS-62 or a little better. Report this Post to the Staff
