I PLACED A BID BUT THE AMOUNT WAS TOO SMALL

[LEAKYCOIN]

I bid on the coin but, it came back to small. It said, I had to bid over $200.00. Then it was just too much for me.

$305 dollars for a spiked head Sac, that's incredible. Guess I under-insured mine when I sent it to Potter It's a variety though, not an error coin as NGC labeled it

Critto,

What is worth more? Variety proof, or error proof coins?

Depends on supply and demand On a proof however, a die crack may be the ONLY way to identify a particular die pairing.

whoa! thats a lot of money for that! I would say you chose wise to not bid more!

I was told by "experts" on the PCGS board that they carry little to no premium.

The value is sure to go up on these PROOF coins because there are not that many of them. I have seen very few of them up for auction.

How could NGC miss label the coin like that? It is a variety. Correct?

I don't know why they labeled it like an off-center, with the time. It's certainly not a mechanical error, as NGC seems to imply. I also have a problem with calling them all "spiked head" varieties, as there are two different die cracks on 2003 Sacs and the variety name is supposed to help collectors differentiate between them. "Spiked chin" and "scarface" varieties exist in other series. Why not a "spiked neck" or even a "leaky minuteman" variety? The answer probably has more to do with politics and egos than numismatics.

 

[LEAKYCOIN]

Exactly right Critto. To many politics. I call it as I see it. If he , he is . If he has a spiked neck, he has a spiked neck. If he has a spiked head, he has a spiked head. It ain't my fault where the crack shows up. Call it what it is, and grade it as such NGC.
