There was a 64CAM in the Heritage archives that sold 4 years ago for $40,000.

And Chad, there are no prices because it is in the inventory archive, as in sold.

Wow! Anaconda has some awesome coins!!

 

Check out this Gettysburg, Amanda:

I had the pleasure of seeing that one in person as well.

 

A little out of my league, though.

I would have a said a little out of your age range but not your league

Okay, out of the realm of affordability for the time being.

They have some nice HIGHer end coins ... I probably paid a premium for the coin I bought from them ... but then it "CAMEO'd" on a designation review so then I was way ahead ... Some times luck does prevail ...

 

 

 

The story of the coin is here ...\\

There was another Gettysburg same grade, same holder with some rim toning. Nothing great but not unappealing either. It was priced $750 more. To me, this seems ludicrous!

[WinstonWare]

Mike, I can't believe that you bought that coin. That actually has some originality

[jgrinz]

On EBay someone did A buy now for:

 

1936 50c NGC MS66 Toned Gettysburg Commemorative $1,025.00

 

So I think they use EBay to price there inventory OR at least to use as a price guide amongst other venues ...

 

1750 is way out there .. as there were some 66's that did not sell at 950

 

...

I have seen that coin, too, and as I recall, the lustre was stronger in addition to being nicely tab-toned. Such toning is rare in Gettysburgs, and as such is desireable.

 

I'm holding out for an eye-appealing, original P64.

Winston .. it was not my first choice but when I saw the coin and in the back of my mind thought it would regrade as cameo I had to ... Even though it is deteriorating in a FANCY manner it is a welcome addition to my collection

EZ E, sometimes you have to pay to play.

That’s the way it goes when there’s not enough of them to go around.

The A needs to do something about that haircut.

Amanda, why are you holding out for a PCGS MS64 (P64)? Why not simply a positive eye appeal, original MS64? Unless I am missing something obvious, which is always a danger when I post, I was under the impression that you thought more deeply than that.

[zrlevin]

Unless I am missing something obvious

 

Typo?

[jgrinz]

Yeah what he said

You caught me!

 

Truly any nice original 64 would be okey-dokey, you're right! I do like the PCGS holder better, though.

 

I just know that this is one coin I would rather not buy raw, like I buy all my other coins.

 

Sorry... that was a moment.

I cut my own hair, what are you implying?

If it makes you feel any better, I would also prefer a certified one in a PCGS holder, but only because I like the aesthetics of their holder.

That's my reasoning also!

 

Plus, they are easier to photograph.

[zrlevin]

This post just taught me for the umpteenth time: Never disagree with TomB!

 

Micheal, I think that is a new rule of thumb for you.

[MunkyMan95]

Maybe the thread title should be changed to

 

'The Men and Women Behind The Post'

 

?

[zrlevin]

Or "The Men and Woman behind the post" There's only one...

[MunkyMan95]

What ever happened to CollectingFamily? There were women there.

[Amanda]

I think I would feel even more like a minority if it was changed to men and woman.

For a $1,000 or more coin, isn't it easier to find the coin and just change the holder if need be?

 

BTW - I too am my own hairstylist

64s are not usually $1,000 dollars or more.

 

Plus I am not a member of any TPG submit clubs.

I thought you wanted nice color. Even with nice color they are less than $1,000? That’s not so bad.

 

I'm sure that someone could help you out with a cross

I said eye appeal.

 

That is, of course, subjective.

 

Nice color is uncommon to Gettysburgs.

The Gettysburg has a high basal value (~$300 in EF40) but there is tremendous price compression for this issue such that a nice MS65 (~$600) or MS66 (~$800) are not many multiples of an entry level coin. Even the MS67 pieces can be had for less than many other issues.
