Look at this coin!!! The auction ends tomorrow and there aren't any bids, but there rightfully should be!

Thats a great coin, whats the asking price?

[MunkyMan95]

Buy it now of 69 grand, bid of 55. WAY out of my price range, unfortunately.

Buy it now of 69 grand, bid of 55.

 

That may help explain why there are no bids yet.

[MunkyMan95]

Is that high? I mean, if I had the money I would definitely pay it for a coin of that calibre.

About $30K a year or so ago .....

I'd be surprised if it fetches 55K, more less 69K - but you never know ??

"Modern" (post 1900) proof gold is generally not worth near as much as the older stuff.

Besides, not many people would buy ANYTHING that spendy off of eBay. I'd say it's

just a fifty dollar marketing expense for the owner. (I believe eBay recently capped the amount they charge - that's the only reason you are seeing more and more of these high dollar items. Until last month, it was 1% - or $550 in this case!)

wow what a really cool coin

 

but with the price tag and the run up with proof brilliant liberty double eagles in the last year or so the sexy part is wore off for me

 

now a ten dollar that has not moved as much that has an amazingly thick original skin say 1901

 

or a proof cameo three dollar way cool

 

or a civil war era proof gold coin 1861-1865

 

or maybe a really cool pre civil war gold coin
