A shout out to Cucamonga – Thank You!

Cheers

Rick,

I received the 42-S today. I will not be dipping this coin. It looks to good and its a bit chrome like. Like you said, those small scratches are on the holder. Straight to the album it goes.

Cheers

Cool.

AKBob,
I think you’re onto something there. The rarities, like the ones they highlight in the big auctions are pretty amazing. Most of the time they go up & up, but I’ve seen some examples of multi thousand dollar losses with some of those too. There’s corrections as it moves forward over time–like Gold in a way?
Although not a rarity, I think I got lucky with that Kennedy. It may have been market timing, the less than stellar condition it was in, or general interest in the coin at the time?(2 months ago). I also stumbled onto it!. I was bored and searched for some–suddenly the top pop was just staring back at me with two days left till hammer lol…
I saw potential, and went for it. It was a good price I think looking back. In looking at a couple of other coins in the grade I feel good about this coin.
I just spent $400 to send it in to be Restored and installed into a modern holder. It also hasn’t been TPG photographed before. But I tell you what, I think that “perk-up” investment may have just added thousands to my initial investment of $5200? We’ll see about that my friend, just not anytime soon…

Done Deal…..

Rick,

The next time you’re in SJ, Scott’s in DT. If not, no worries. All good.

Cheers Bro

Kaiser Wilhelm & VinnieC, thank you both very, very much!❤️

Kaiser Wilhelm, thx!

Great looking coin AND a very good investment. Something I’ve noticed is that very expensive, highest quality, highest graded (or very close to highest grade) coins go up in value a great deal compared to others that take years and years just to go up $10, $25, $50 or even $100. The high graded, low rarities by either mintage or condition, seem to go up by the hundreds and thousands of dollars. Look at the coins going for $100K plus, those go up tens of thousands, some in only a few short years. As an investment, investing in those coins can and usually do turn into great investments so if you’ve got a $100K plus laying around, pick out a great coin that has a conditional rarity and high grade to invest in. I don’t have that kind of money for sure, lol!

Well, as always, Good Luck ALL!!!
