Coins We Love: The Baltimore that Won’t Be for DLRC
Well, there’s not a lot that one can say at this point. Things are changing all around us. Decisions are being made (or not made) and quality communication has become difficult to find. With that in mind, we’ve made the decision at DLRC to not attend the upcoming Whitman Baltimore Expo. For those of you wondering, the show has not been canceled as of yet, but in an abundance of caution, we think that it’s the right move for DLRC. Keeping the folks that make DLRC great away from danger as much as possible is what we’ve determined is the best course of action. For those of you attending the event (if it still occurs), we’re sorry that we’ll miss you, but we’ll be back in the Summer!
If you have coins that you’re looking to sell, we may not be able to get them from you in Baltimore, but we work even more flexibly via mail and would be happy to discuss your needs on the phone. If the collection is of a higher value, we’ll even cover the shipping or insurance. We’re all about serving you, the collector. And while we can’t do that on the road right now, we can certainly do so from our office!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if we can be of assistance, please check out our blog for our most recent posts, and lastly, we hope that you enjoy the coins listed below. We’re still open in our comfortable office building in Virginia and we have plenty of soap and water on hand.
If you have any questions regarding DLRC, the coin industry, or the coin collecting hobby, email them to coingroup@davidlawrence.com and they might be featured in a future edition of my blog column “Just Ask John.”
Numismatically Yours,
John Brush and Your Friends at DLRC
Value:The PCGS Price Guide puts this example at $100,000, and the CPG suggests $84,700. We’re starting this new-to-market piece at $97,500, and we expect it to exceed both price guides. The last coin of this grade and type sold in 2015, so it may be quite a while before another comes up for sale.
Value:The PCGS Price Guide suggests $18,000, and the CPG doesn’t list prices for Red examples. We’re willing to sell it for just $13,500 via Make Offer. On the high end of the grade, this beauty is an absolute steal for the price.
Value:The NGC Price Guide and CPG both put this example at $8,000, while the PCGS Price Guide is way out at $12,500. We’re sticking to the lower end and starting this one off at just $6,500, well below any of the guides.
Value:The PCGS Price Guide puts this piece at $2,100, and the CPG suggests $2,500. We’ll sell it for $2,400 via Make Offer, so don’t miss out on this gorgeous coin as it nears its 200th birthday.
Value:The PCGS Price Guide suggests $7,500, and the CPG is at $6,250. We’ll let it go for just $5,250, well below either. The last auction for a PCGS graded example was in 1997, so it’s likely to be quite a while before you see another one of these on the market.
Value:The NGC Price Guide puts this piece at $16,700, the PCGS Price Guide at $15,000, and the CPG at $14,500. We’re starting it at $14,000, below even the CPG. This gives you a fantastic opportunity to get a true rarity at a great price, so don’t let this one slip by!
Value:The PCGS Price Guide puts this coin at $4,500, and the CPG suggests $4,120. We’re making it available for just $3,750 via Make Offer. The last auction of a PCGS example of this grade was in 2016, so it may be awhile before another comes on the market.
Value:The PCGS Price Guide puts this piece at $10,000, and the CPG suggests $9,380. We’re starting it off at just $8,750, well below the most recent auction which realized $10,200 in February.
Value:The PCGS Price Guide puts this coin at $4,000, and the CPG suggests $3,750. We’re making it available for $3,000 via Make Offer. All major auction records since 2013 have been higher than this, making it an amazing deal that you’re unlikely to find again anytime soon.
Value:The PCGS Price Guide puts this coin at $4,800, while the CPG tops out at MS66. We’ll let this one go for just $4,250, which is an absolute steal. It last sold in April of 2017 for $6,463. With a plus grade and CAC approval, you know this gem is teetering on the edge of the next grade up.
Value:The PCGS Price Guide puts this piece at $10,500, and the CPG suggests $6,690 in MS66. We’re starting it at $8,250, leaving plenty of room for bids. The last equivalent coin sold in December of 2019 for $9,106.
Value:The PCGS Price Guide puts this coin at $5,500 in AU55. We’re offering it for $5,000 via Make Offer, giving you a chance to own this scarce variety at quite a bargain.
Value:The PCGS Price Guide suggests $7,750, and the CPG is at $7,500. We’re starting it at $6,500, leaving plenty of room for bids. Don’t miss out on this registry quality gem!
Value:The PCGS Price Guide recommends $3,150, and the CPG is at $3,000. We’re making it available for only $2,850 via Make Offer, below either price guide. This eagle is just waiting to fly into your hands!
Value:A rather specific variety, neither the PCGS Price Guide nor the CPG have a specific value for this issue. We’re willing to let it go for just $3,000, which is a fantastic deal for a top pop coin with such strong eye appeal. This one won’t last long!
Value:The PCGS Price Guide suggests $8,500, and the CPG is at $5,000. We’re starting it off at only $4,500, just over half of the PCGS recommendation. These don’t come up for sale very often; the last public auction of this grade was in 2009. This has the potential to be an amazing deal for a lucky bidder, so keep an eye out.
Value:The PCGS Price Guide recommends $3,200, and the CPG suggests $3,380. We’ll let it go for $2,900, below either. The auction record for the grade is held by a piece which sold in 2018 for $9,000.
Value:The NGC Price Guide suggests $950 in MS60, with no prices listed between XF and MS. We’re offering it at $825, but you’re welcome to send us an offer – we’ve had this one on our shelves for a little while and would love to see it find a home.
