Still waiting for Black Friday deals
Stay tuned...
happy thanksgiving from a Western Mass Easthampton and Hatfield Native. Now living in Virginia Beach.
A 1918-S Standing Liberty Quarter PCGS MS65 FH just sold for $72,000 in a Heritage auction. Can anyone explain why?
Doesn't make any sense, that coin is probably at retail $10K. Only guess is someone is completing a high grade set and would do anything to claim best collection?
We agree, Rick. Very head-scratching for sure. If we learn any new information on this particular sale, we'll be sure to post it here.
The buyer think it's a 1918/7-S
We did hear from another dealer that perhaps at least two of the bidders thought it was a late die-state 1918/7-S. We are doubtful of that scenario.
The image below was taken from a particular numismatic item. The first person to guess what item this image was taken from and the date on the item wins it! Be specific. To take a guess, click the COMMENT ON THIS POST link in the lower right corner. Only guesses received via comments to this blog post will count. Good luck!
Hi. Great contest! I believe the image is of Queen Adelaide, the wife of Britain's King William IV, and is from the reverse of an 1831 medal commemorating his coronation. The Royal Mint issued three versions of the medal designed by Chief Engraver William Wyon -- one in bronze, one in silver, and one in gold. From the appearance of the photo in the blog, I'm guessing that it's from the bronze issue.
CORRECT! Nice job, edavies. We will be in touch to discuss sending your medal to you.
Some of you may be familiar with the story of the RMS Republic which sank off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts in 1909. It is reputed to have 150,000 U.S. gold coins buried with it. The History Channel did a special on the shipwreck called Billion Dollar Wreck about the ongoing attempt to locate and salvage the gold.
Tom was featured in the special as their numismatic expert. Enjoy!
