1793 Liberty Cap 1c NGC G-4 sells for $9200

This, a corroded piece, corroded on both sides, at the Rasmussen sale
at the Heritage Auction #360 at the FUN show. Therefore, my smooth
1793 Lib Cap in PCGS G-4 might well be a bargain at $7650!

There has been discussion here about 2 days ago regarding the price
sheets and these old coppers. It should be noted that Graysheet bid on
a G-4 is $1600. That's so far out of the realm of reality that it
offers little guidance to values for the scarce old copper cents in the
1790s.

Ira, I want your penny, but I'm afraid that if I buy it you'll just have
to refund the $7650 a month later to cover my funeral expenses when my
wife finds out...

Ira, I started that discussion, hoping to draw some kindred spirits out of
the woodwork. I had envisioned a groundswell of protest by RCCers and
EACers to the editors of the price guides. So far it hasn't happened yet.
Maybe those editors are keeping the prices low in hopes of buying coins like
yours for $1600 from widows.

Doesn't seem like such a bargain when you put it THAT way!

Reminds me of the joke:

"What's the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS?"

Answer:
"You can reason with a terrorist."

I told my wife I wanted to take it all with me. She said she'd write me a
check for the full value and put it in the box with me.

Reminds me of another joke, Ira. Do you know why they call it "PMS?"
Because "mad cow disease" was already taken!

I have learned that the editors are very confident in their pricing
methodology and will not let such minor things as sale prices impact
their statistical analysis.

Greysheet ludicrous on old copper. Can you get me an S272 VG for 2200?

Wouldja settle for one that is heavily corroded and pitted, and with a hole
through the "7"? If so, I'll keep my eye open for you. I'll want payment
in advance, of course.
