    Tonight at my local coin club meeting I bought a 1960 Franklin MS-65 for 30 dollars at auction, graded by
    ICG, it has slight toning around the edges, it's my first graded coin buy, thanks, EPS:smile

    I dolnt know much about the increased value of graded to ungraded coins, maybe I should have consulted you guys first:rolleyes:

    Sounds like an acceptable deal to me, are you unhappy with it? If it's nicely toned, then $30 is nada. :thumb:

    Yeah post some pics when you can. As long as you're happy with it then I'm sure you did alright. A nice Franklin cost at least that much anyways. :thumb:
     
  6. EPS: Sounds like a good deal to me, especially if it is nice eye appeal. Looking forward to the pics. TC

    $30 is a fair price for an MS65 Franklin.

    I also would like some pics!!

    Hey, sorry for the delay. Here are the pictures. Hope they're good quality. BTW, sometimes I flip things and am looking to maybe sell this. If you have an offer PM me. BTW, book value is about $110.

    Post a classified below in the For Sale forum, I'm not trying to police the thread but you're not supposed to sell stuff up here. I don't want it because I already have a really nice one. Post an ad below, maybe someone will want it. :thumb:

    $30 is a tad high, but not bad.

    I have a 60 and 60D both graded 66 I picked for $30, and a 60 graded 65 I paid $25 for, all three were PCGS slabbed.

    I don't know how these things are done at CT, but this smells a lot like SPAM.
