The other coin, another dream coin, is an oldie but goodie.
At 230 years old, the 1795 Capped Bust Gold Eagle(13 Leaves variety)had a value of $10 back in the day. It was also the very first U.S. ten dollar gold piece. So tonights coin, a PCGS MS-65(Eliasberg Collection), one of 3 in the grade with 2 finer had sold for $1,338,750.00 tonight. $10 to $1.339M. An approx $1,338,740 gain in value. Not bad.

Thanks AK,
We’ll see what the future has to say about these ‘Modern Rarities’, but for now it’s fun to take a chance, protect and enjoy them, while also feeling lucky to own them. Those are the centerpieces of my collection, along with a few others close behind.
I too, envy your collection of Gold, particularly the Modern Liberty Series. I’ve got a couple of them, and hope to add more to the coffers!
Good Day!

Rick, I’m so envious, lol! Congrats to You and thank you for sharing that pair!! Wow, absolutely gorgeous! As my wife would say, they are “Drop Dead Gorgeous”!! It’s very nice to have all the different collectors on here, sharing what they collect and it’s especially nice we get to see photos of coins of this caliber and we have collectors on this forum like yourself that collects high end coins! Myself and many others can’t go to Coin Shows and for me at least, I only get to see coins like those on my iPad so by you sharing these photos it feels like I’m seeing them first hand, for real, not in a photo although obviously these are photos. If I knew how to Post photos I’d be doing it too! It’s been explained to me how to do it but it’s a little above my pay grade as I’m Tech challenged, lol!! The wife is worst than I am. Please continue sharing as it’s very much appreciated by ALL but one! 😉

Well, as always, Good Luck ALL except one on here!!!

Thanks for the insights and information.

Well, I believe that all 1945 coins were struck(opinion).
The final count(out the door) looks to have been reported as 1939. The missing 6 coins most likely were too damaged, mis-struck, or otherwise deemed ‘unsalable’, and therefore ultimately scrapped, culled, & melted. No ‘backup’ coins were struck?
As far as the mintage mention on the label? I’d guess that that, is a marketing TPG ploy used for Modern Special/Limited Edition coins? They all use this mention, but not for the rarest of rare old strikes, re-strikes, ect.(they do mention important pedigree sometimes). However the seasoned(now you)collectors know where to get the important data that’s available out there.
That could be a good question to ask one of those Dealers that you’ve tapped for your rare Southern coin? Congrats again!

Interestingly, the V75 privy’s PCGS slab says “1 of 1945 Struck” when the actual mintage is 1939.

Question – How many slabs mention struck/mintage figures? None of the coins I saw in Charlotte did.

Yes, I thought the legs had fully grown live that day and were done!
Stacks and the Mint made a ‘Mint’ either way.
Who knows, like what others have said, someday they’ll only be worth Spot.
I wonder what that would look like…

Here’s to Overpriced Privy Gold!…..

As if the inside bulksters needed a fifth ace.

Sometimes you win … sometimes you don’t.

Be careful with those unopened shipping boxes, AK. Please see the discussion & Rick’s experimentation regarding tarnishing/toning in cardboard boxes. Sounds like you turn around coins (graded or still-sealed sold) pretty quickly though.
