Don't know what to say about this one.

Even the McDonald guide only has these for $42 in GEM.

MS63 RB on the blue sheet $16, But hay it's in a slab so it just has to be a far better coin and worth a $42 premium.
Very pretty slab :laugh2:

9 certified in the world LOL

9 certified in the world LOL

Yep. 9 MS63BN's
But there is a total of 16 in BN (brown), 48 in Red brown, and 2 in RD.
If it were an RD coin, I would expect this price (or higher)

I wish I could point the buyer in the direction of any of the dealers on this board who sell PCGS graded coins.

Is there a site that shows the mintages of the graded coins? And is this because noone bothers with these sort of cheap coins?

PCGS population reports can be found at http://www.pcgs.com/pop/default.aspx?t=9 which shows the number of coins graded in that year / type.

There are a number of the 'cheaper' coins slabbed, probably bulk submissions of entire, or part rolls.

Even if you are not a fan of slabbed coins, these population reports can give you a good indication of how easy (or tough) some coins are to get in Mint State.

Take the 1942M 3d for example, only 6 examples in MS have been graded.
On the other hand, the 1947(m) 3d has 75 MS examples... (the McDonald's catalog pricing has this as the 2nd most expensive KGVI 3d behind the 1942M)

There is: http://www.pcgs.com/pop/default.aspx?t=9
I assume it is because no one really bothers with cheaper coins, but it's probably also because third party grading isn't that big here in Australia.

edit: never mind,    Fr45h3R beat me to it.

The NGC pop report is also useful:

it is another case of someone buying someone else's opinion rather than buying a coin.

[wwwww]

I'm pretty sure I've had more than 9 certified.

It's not a case of someone buying someone else's opinion, an MS63BN isn't worth anywhere near that. Rather it's a seller who has lied about the population of the coin in order to make it seem rare and bidders being too lazy to look it up themselves.

Have a look at his other coins, e.g.:

A polished up 1950 1d, something I wouldn't ask more than 20c for. To him it's Gem and not polished, worth $210.

Feedback left for this one: "Brilliant. Coin Much higher grade. Very quick replies and post 5*"

The coin is obviously a doctored lower grade coin, he paid $93, it's worth 20c.
