The only contention is the seller claims to have paid $550, for a coin that could have been had for less than $300, actually less than $250.
That's thething, right? Ultimately it is about the price and the grade greately factors into the price. Ruben
It always has Ruben. If PCGS or NGC graded that same coin MS66, and no FBL(75% or otherwise), the value would be around $325. However, there's been several in PCGS slabs, that have sold for under $250, and the lowest one sold for was $142.50.
there seems to be a wide range of late of coins graded at the same grade. I think the interent purchaser is getting more sophisticated and bidding up extra good examples.
Or they're subscribing to small services, such as SEGS; and some dealers excepting SEGS as comparable to PCGS or NGC, and trying to force the market.
Actually, I don't particularly like Larry Briggs coins. Certainly not compared to David Kahn. My opinion is worthless on these matters, but I still have them.
