Charbneau 1940 Silver J-13

I don't own a silver or gold Charbneau yet, but I thought i'd post this photo of J13 since these seem ultra-rare......

If you are interested in acquiring an example of a 1940 Charbneau dollar, there is one in the upcoming Heritage Auction (www.ha.com) for the 2013 Long Beach Expo. Per Bill's and Jeff's research, 20-30 of J-13 are thought to exist. I would think a price range of $300-900 would be reasonable, but with SCD prices being crazy as of late, I guess we'll see what happens.

Fresh from NGC...

This 1940 Silver Charbneau sold in the $1400 range, and has been listed for sale on ebay most the month of February, 2014 at a higher price.

Do you know what the 1940 Silver Charbneau was graded that sold for $1400 in the Heritage auction? Did $1400 include the juice?

The 1940 Dated silver Charbneau sold for $1410 (which included the BP) in June,2013, Long Beach, CA, Lot# 9659. It is now for sale on ebay for $1877 and has been listed for many weeks. I contacted the seller who told me he paid $1500 and would only entertain offers between the $1500 and his asking $1877. I thought that was too rich and went on my way. The reverse date has a little something going on below the "0" in 1940, I was wondering if this is a variety or a different die, etc.

All the Charbneau pieces dated 1940 have a lot of tooling marks around the date. I suspect 1939 dies were retooled to 1940 and used to strike the 1940 issues.

Not sure what that is, but it doesn't appear to be on the die. It appears to be attached to the surface.
