A 1941-S FB MS-67 PL Mercury dime with CAC

[JIM F.]

From my Mercury dime collection.

Thanks for looking.

Nice coin. The 1941 S is the most common date for Mercury PLs, and I have seen some stuning coins with deep mirrors. I bet your coin is stunning in hand. It looks favorable to one that Doug just sold in the BST and one that I purchased last year from Heritage, both of which are also 67 FSB CAC PLs (I say this in case you are looking for a pricing history for insurance purposes).

[JIM F.]

Sure, if you can post pricing history that would be good to know. PM me it that is more appropriate.

 

Thank You.

what is a good price for these? I missed out on the one recently being sold but it went to a great guy though

I think Doug sold his for $785. I don't remember the price of my coin (and I'm still adjusting to my iPad so I prefer to wait until I have access to a mouse and keyboard), but bought it at Heritage last year. I think Physicsfan-3.14 also has a NGC MS 67 FSB PL, and maybe he'll chime in with a fourth transaction record for you.

Very nice. I have one of these in the middle of my wantlist for this year. As MK said the one recently sold was tempting.

[physics-fan3.14]

The most recent one to sell on Heritage (April 2013) sold for $646.

 

I bought mine in 2010 for $225.

To answer the others, the Heritage example cited by Jason was the one I purchased.

The price has gone way up on these in the last few years.

More generally, the price on all prooflike coins has gone way up in the last couple of years. I haven't bought much recently because I keep getting blown out of the water. I'm hoping that it's a passing fad and prices will come back down - but if not, I'm really going to have to step up my bids. I'm getting priced out of my own niche!

Or sell yours at 300% profit and find a new niche.......................of course when I've done that in the past I start to miss my coin and buy another one back for more money

I like this idea. Physics should sell his PL half cent and DPL Seated Liberty Quarter to me.

How has 19th century PL gold been doing lately? I've got a $5 and a $10 I bought several years ago.

It really depends on the grade.

[coinman1794]

It could be a passing fad, but I considered most PL coins to be extremely undervalued at the old levels. In many cases, there was no premium at all.
