Sorry but chasing highest grade is not worth it....
So recently I received an offer from a "Top/Well Known" dealer (the names have been changed to protect the innocent) for a 1976-D $1 Type 1 Ike Dollar... this dealer said heck its tied for finest and only $9,500 and it retails for $11,500....
This is where you as the buyer need to sort the wheat from the chaff....Listen to me, I have nothing against President Eisenhower... I Like Ike what I don't like is that this is truly a common coin... ok I get Type 1 is a little better than Type 2 and I get the fact that its in a PCGS holder... but here is the rub... its not finest known that honor belongs to a MS67+ there are actually 15 coins certified MS67 grade...
but that's not ...

Baltimore Rocks....
Baltimore coin show was off the charts busy from Wed evening setup til Sat afternoon... Our impression is that the market is just gobbling up coins left and right... we sold a little bit of everything and the smart buyers did not hesitate to buy and the ones that said Im looking were very disappointed upon returning hours later to find that the coin was sold. Throw away your sheets prices continue to climb...
