I really hate to dog your post, but please tell me that you made a bunch of typos on your prices. Many of them appear to have an extra zero.

 

 

Wow Pf3.14. I knew you were a leading expert on grading, and the science of it. . But now you are an expert on what coins you have never seen are worth too? Huh.... where and how does one become such an authority on these things?

[Six Mile Rick]

WOWSERS ---- Love to see some pics!!!

 

Please add them to your post

 

Thanks,

Rick

So much clowning around here lately I find that for the first time since joining i spend more time ATS... I think that is sad, this forum could be such an amazing resource.

 

Yonico, regardless of how you feel about, PH314, 6 mile Rick, myself or the next guy, you have got to know how incredibly out of line it is to do what PH314 did.. he has an outspoken opinion, a conservative one, what else is new? It isn't his place to be doing what he did here in someone else's post the way he did it. It's not your place, or mine, he should know it, you should know it, and maybe Im just naive but I think you both know that. This whole deal where Mr. Knows-All is spouting off about coins and what they are worth is the exact same smoke & mirrors as the resources he uses to back it up.... (think price guides... smoke &mirrors is all that is)

 

We all know coin A is "worth" whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Just like art, old cars, Real Estate, antiques, and a billion other things.

 

What's more, If this is about PH3.14 wanting to really "help" people, or protecting them or anything like that, well allow me to point out that this is the same guy who sells a book about "the science of grading" using black and white photos that might as well be christmas trees or candies... if u r wanting to really help people, stop selling a book for real money that is rendered worthless due to poor quality photos under the guise of helping people

 

 

[Afterword]

You guys must have gotten up on the wrong side of the same bed and bumped your heads together.

 

So much animosity!

[Danye West]

I've been looking at these threads, and am bewildered. When I was a more active member of the board, it was so civil. WHAT happened?

 

Also: What is ATS and how could I get on it, I've been wondering?

[AHFreak]

... Danye, ATS is "across the street". Meaning specifically PCGS forums. Much of the same negative party poopers but alot of great stuff mixed in as well. If u really haven't been, get on it.

C'est la Vie.

I fully brilliant collection of 66FBL Franklins will raise a few eyebrow among Franklin specialists. The typical 66FBL is a toned coin, with many light marks concealed or compensated by color. A white 66FBL is actually rare on some issues because the high relief designs and broad fields actually have to be smooth. I can't comment on these coins directly because I have not seen them, but in our experience, truly snow white, accurately graded coins can sometimes realize multiples of the average auction price.

[JackieOF]

I just posted a picture of the 1961-P Franklin NGC MS 66 FBL that sold so you can see the quality this coin was in. If you wish to see a picture of a specific coin please let me know. This collector was building a high-end fully brilliant Franklin collection. This is an extremely hard set to put together. These coins have been off the market for the past 10 years. It's great to see these gems back in action.

This went well. I do hope NGC will consider blocking third party posters from posting to sales threads in the future as it has truly become unruly. If you don't like the coin or the price, then don't buy it. It is a free market. Moreover, without seeing the coins in hand, I am not sure how anyone can offer an accurate valuation. How do we know that the coins don't have proof like tendencies? A FBL top pop semi-PL or PL Franklin would absolutely bring a large premium.

 

Edited: And of course, PCGS won't designate any Franklin Half as PL or the like in any event. Also, and I am sure that many of the major Franklin registry players would agree, but grade inflation has hit the series hard. Perhaps the original poster believes that the coins could upgrade. There are too many variables/unknowns here.

I'm not going to speak about the OP's coins specifically, but rather I'm going to address your points in a general sense. If somebody is asking $1 billion for a Franklin half, would you ascertain that is way overpriced or would you still assert that you must see it in hand? Maybe it's really pretty.

 

The point is, yes pricing on like coins in the same grade can fluctuate greatly based on quality and eye appeal, but there are always limits to anything.

 

If you're at a coin show and one of the dealers has prices listed at many multiples of market value, would you ask him about it openly? "Hey, I'm just curious where you get this pricing from because closed auction prices are in the X – Y range." Perhaps you would say nothing at all and walk away, but the bigger question - in your opinion would someone be out of line to openly ask the dealer about it, or does proper etiquette require a person to whisper quietly so no one else hears?

[Afterword]

A pm sent to the OP would have been better for others on this forum trying to sell their wares.

I think it is poor form to post comments of that nature on any listing period, especially when one does not have images and/or all of the relevant facts. A PM could have clarified things. And to be clear, there are exceptions to everything. No Franklin will ever be worth $1,000,000,000 unless inflation increases dramatically. The coins in MS66 holders might very well have traits that make them worth much more than a generic and/or the pieces might even be high end and some might upgrade, in which case the prices may very well be reasonable. We don't know.

 

My point is that we cannot make judgments without actually seeing the coins.

 

Edited: And yes, if you yelled critical comments about pricing in a crowded bourse, I do think it would be improper.

Just added two more pictures of the above referenced Franklins.
