Ok, tonight i was fooling around with teletrade, and I unexpectly won a 1922 no d for 260.00 pcgs 6. is that a fair price? would it be bad to crack out and put it in my book? If i wanted to sell it in the future should i leave it in the slab. thanks for any input and remember when your bored stay away from auctions or you may spontaneously buy a coin you dont know much about.
From what I can glean from Heritage, I do not think you got any bargain, but you did not over pay either. I guess that qualifies as a fair price.
I think it was full retail price, a strong reverse would have cost you a lot more. I would not see any problem with you cracking it and putting it in your album... it's your coin, do with it what you want.
BTW, if you wanted to sell it in the future, you absolutely should leave it in the slab - particularly this date. There are so many fakes/altered out there, I would guess that unslabbed, you would be lucky to get 50% return
Rlm is right about keeping it in the slab, good idea if you might even consider selling it in the future. What I do on some of my albums that I have slabbed key or high grade coins is type something to the effect "PCGS AU58", cut out the piece and stick that in the album.
For resale, I would leave it in the slab. But for your enjoyment, put it in the book. Or don't. Its your coin now.
What did it grade? Most 1922-D are very poor strikes, sometimes what looks like the wear of G-4 is really the wear of an EF-40 on a really worn die strike coin.
The coin pictured is in an NGC holder, not a PCGS holder. If this happened to me, I would keep it in the holder and immediately sell it since you truly did not want the coin and are parking $260 or so dollars in something you do not want.
Based on what the OP said...I don't really understand why he bought the coin because it sounds like he doesn't want it. That said, I would not crack the coin out. These are among the most commonly faked coins and as soon as it is raw it becomes much harder to sell. If you don't want it...sell it as is. Even if you keep it, I highly recommend keeping it slabbed because if you ever do want to sell it, it will be much easier.
Where are you seeing that? This spot? Not sure that 6 is supposed to be a grade, or a mistype, or what.
First, it looks like a 6. Second, see http://teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?auction=3312&lot=1138. Therefore it is a good 6, but not PCGS
