The chance of the coins getting lost while in transit, the amount a person have to pay of getting it graded and the anticipation of how long a person have to wait before coin actually be graded is bothersome. You are absolutely right about that. With social media all around, some collectors may actually be interested on anyone collection and know the value can buy it at a better price without going to the auction.

      @@johnsmythe6134 I showed some old wheat pennies to a kid on the school bus that I drive. He thought it was stupid to care about an old coin. He thought it was foolish and worthless. He acted the same way about old comic books. I actually helped helped him find that he had two comic books that were worth a lot of money, The Incredible Hulk 182 and The Human Torch 17-Golden Age 40's. He is 17. His mother got him a job at the Toyota dealership where she works. She got him a summer job last year detailing cars for $25 an hour. Now he still has a job there but for $11.50 an hour. They had helped him make some quick money to save to buy a car. He's working his way up to changing car fluids and stuff. His mother also bought him a scratch off ticket for $50. The kid won $1,500 on his very first ticket. OMG, this kid makes me crazy. He thinks people will throw money at you. What a way to start his adult life. He has one more year of high school and should be driving an old Toyota car next year. He's a high functioning kid from a special education bus. He has OCD, so he tells me, which is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He says he didn't talk till he was about 7 years of age and since then he hasn't been able to shut up. Every time I try to impress the kid with something old like a movie, a comic book, a coin, etc, he just wants to know what such a thing might be worth in dollars. He seems to think this is all that matters. He is certainly right in some of that but he doesn't seem to connect with sentimentality or the idea of an antique, days gone by, a culture from the past. He just wants to know why he should care and what something is worth in dollars. Me, I think I'm the opposite. I care more about the antiquity, the age, and how rare something might be. If I was better off selling something, then OK, maybe I need the money. I'd rather keep something of value though than to give it to some "fool", some "kid" who thought something from the past was just some silly junk. I kind of feel that way about some china I inherited from my mother, and trinkets and stuff but I feel differently about other things that interest me.

    I looked it up myself. Rick is absolutely on the money on the price. An AU-55 1944 steel sold at a Heritage Auction in Aug. 2019 for $26,400. An AU-53 (which is the grade for this coin) sold for $30,550 in 2014. Based on these auctions, this coin is priced fairly by the expert and by Rick. The seller says auctions don't mean much, but as a coin buyer and seller myself, yes they do because you don't see $20,000+ coins bought and sold just over the counter at a coin shop that often. These high valued coins are more often seen at auction.

      The coin that sold for 375k was in perfect MS66 condition and the highest ever found and graded. The coin being offered to Rick was in a much less desirable AU53 condition and there are currently 75 known in higher graded conditions. That's why this coin had been sold for around 30k previously and would never sell for 375k.

    Steel, not silver. But still, incredibly rare, as they weren't supposed to mint any steel cents after 1943 (so basically, this is a "incorrect planchet" error.) Cool to see. (Even rarer are 1943 copper cents.) The seller seemed either clueless or overly optimistic though if he thought he could get more than triple what the highest auctioned price is on the coin though.

    There is a slide in here showing one went for over $373,000 so the "expert" is really low balling him on this one, and the seller is right to call him out on it. Though not in mint condition the seller could still get closer to what he is asking for and even higher at public auction.

    • @almostfm
      @almostfm 2 года назад

      No, the expert isn't "low balling him". That coin that sold for $373,000 was a very high-grade Mint State (also known as Uncirculated) example from the San Francisco mint (the rarest of these errors), and with coins, condition is everything. For a coin in this grade from the Philadelphia mint (like this one), the PCGS price guide shows about $45,000 today. That's what it would cost you to buy one in 2022. Since you can't sell a coin for what you'd pay for it, the price he quoted him sounds right. There is no way on God's green Earth that a collector serious enough to attend a high-end auction and with five or six figures to spend is going to drop $100,000+ on a coin that he or she could get two of for less money.
