nutmegcollector Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 In the International Paper Money Show in Memphis June 12-15, 2014, two U. S. 3 Cents 1863 notes were sold in the auction. One was Graded PCGS Gem 65 PPQ and sold for $300. The other graded Ch. CU sold for $80. Can anybody guess which one worth more and why?

rbethea Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I would guess the second sold for more since the first has the splotches all over it. Purely a guess and, since you're asking, probably an incorrect guess. Although, the first has much better margins. There's a pretty interesting editorial in the IBNS magazine I got recently talking about the value of TPG's to the world collector community.

thedeadpoint Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Gotta go with rbethea assuming the splotches aren't part of the scanner or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
