jtryka Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Well, I was bidding on a few lots in the Heritage Long Beach sale, and I still had high bid on one lot, so now I am watching them live on their site. It's not as exciting as being there, but it's still pretty cool. Only 300 lots to go before mine comes up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Yes, I won a 1908-D WM, missed out on the 1926-S. That's a better date, but they went very strong, not only full ask, but full CW Trends! I just couldn't see paying full retail for a coin that is only the second most common of the heavily melted branch mint Saints of the 20s (the 22-S is the only one more common, and I bought an MS-62 in 2004 for under $2K, but these were lower grade and a lot more money! The one that didn't sell is available for $3K, but that seems like too strong for an MS-61. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 For the most part it seems the more common of the rare (if that makes sense) seem to be a little overpriced in todays market. When compared to earlier rare gold issues the prices are rather close on some things. Personally I would rather pay 6-8k for a heraldic eagle 1801 ish than a better date saint, but then again, I'm not collecting the entire saint set. I guess it all comes down to the popularity of the series over the rarity of the specific coin sometimes. but full CW Trends! I can't imagine paying CW prices on nearly anything I own...let alone even ask price really lol....but then again im cheap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Well, I checked this morning, less than 12 hours after the auction closed and the MS-61 is already sold! They still have an MS-64 asking $9,700 and CW Trends is only $8,500! At least the coin I bought was a couple hundred bucks below trends, of course it's far more common too.

It's still a lot better coin that all the common dates you see on eBay, so you still made out better than most if you're still below trend.
