    Great dealer. Happy to have tried to help.
  2. MarkFeld
    It’s not OK with me, because I made the edit before I saw your post. I’d already decided that my original post was too harsh. And I apologize to @GoldFinger1969 for being overly harsh.
  3. MarkFeld
    Based on the images, I wouldn’t expect the coin to sticker. And the seller - a very sharp dealer - likely would have already tried it previously, if he thought it had a realistic chance.

    Please see my subsequent edit to that post. It took just a few minutes to determine that even if it was true - which is extremely doubtful - it no longer is. A quick check of the Heritage auction archives brought up multiple CAC examples.

    As I posted to another thread here, a short while ago, CAC has stickered more then 3000 1908 No Motto Saints. I bet some of those are Wells Fargo examples, even if no longer designated as such. Edited to add: The link below, from the Heritage auction archives, pulls up multiple CAC examples. https://coins.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?Nty=1&Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&Ns=Time|1||Lot+No|0&N=51+404+790+231&Ntt=1908+wells+fargo+cac&ic4=SortBy-071515

    In addition to that, I see no trace of a “2”.

    See here: https://coinweek.com/modern-coins/telling-a-1964-accented-hair-proof-kennedy-half-dollar-apart-from-regular-kennedy-halves/ Another easy way to tell is by looking at the sideburn - it’s flat, rather than defined on Accented Hair examples.
  9. MarkFeld
    Welcome to the forum. In addition to the coin not being the Accented Hair variety, it doesn’t appear to be a Cameo, either.
  10. MarkFeld
    You suspect incorrectly. That type of logic would lead to CAC stickering many or most of the 1804 Dollars, as well. How many have you seen with stickers?
  11. MarkFeld
    I wouldn't be suspicious of a 5-figure coin just because it was in a "pre-TrueView holder". That strikes me as being paranoid.
  12. MarkFeld
    You ran in the Derby?😉 Welcome back.
  13. MarkFeld
    I think those who respond are being played.
  14. MarkFeld
    Not true - reholders used to be no more than that. That’s the problem when you use words like “NEVER” and “ANYTHING”.
  15. MarkFeld
    Some posts get far more attention then they deserve.
  16. MarkFeld
    “Their website”. I’m sure he meant the section which lists grading tiers and fees, etc.

    I don’t think it’s at all spurious. It makes sense that a “+” sells for an especially large premium when there’s a substantial value difference between grades. Look at what a 64 and a 65 are each worth.
  19. MarkFeld
    That wasn't the case. NGC and PCGS were using grades in between 65 and 70 at the time the 1927 nickels appeared.
  20. MarkFeld
    That's my recollection. I saw one or more at NGC, while grading there. It was likely in the early 90's.
  21. MarkFeld
    I think they all surfaced in the same place/auction, not in various places.
  22. MarkFeld
    Don't hold me to it, but I think that they appeared in an auction without fanfare. And that more than one dealer quickly recognized them as something out of the ordinary.
  23. MarkFeld
    In addition to being rude, your comments about his appearance are off topic.
  24. MarkFeld
    Submitters are happy, while most buyers aren’t. But none of this has much of anything to do with what billionaires tend to collect. I don’t even understand why you chose your thread title, unless it was just wishful thinking.
  25. MarkFeld
    I realize that the question wasn’t directed at me, but I was grading at NGC when at least some of the coins surfaced. I’m not positive, but I believe that the combined NGC/PCGS population represents the same group of just five examples.
