I could buy a nice g6 1916d merc for that price and be more satisfied than if I had 100 ms-67 new crap nickels
I got a good a quiet a bit of these what does it cost to send and get them graded sounds like you don good on this one
You are correct, the price wasn't because the coin had full steps - it was for the MS67. I know it sounds amazing, but this happens all the time. The registry collectors will pay absolutely outrageous prices for high grade moderns. Just watch the auctions, you'll see it.
It can cost anywhere from $25 - $30 per coin. BUt the odds of getting one graded as MS67 are almost non-existant.
