You actually paid more than you had to for this coin because a raw example will cost you a few cents less and likely be nicer. There are many PCGS and NGC certified coins that don't grade high enough and don't have enough eye appeal to justify their certification costs. Sometimes these coins are sent in by novices, other times they are sent in to make a minimum submission number and other times they go in with a large group where some in the group are bound to do very well and make money for the submitter.
The appeal of this coin is neutral at best, so I wouldn't go much more than maybe 2x melt since it is a graded 65. Not a bad deal, but as stated there are nicer raw examples with positive appeal/toning for less. All in all a fair deal
I don't care if you like the coin or not, that's the kind of thing you grab without thinking twice. Easy to flip for a modest (but strong percentage-wise) profit and with next to no downside.
Well PCGS value is only $5, with shipping the coin cost $4.47. So the buyer saved. $.53. I doubt dealer would pay much more than melt value for it since the toning is not attractive. For 1959. it's not really particularly expensive until MS67 level.
Perhaps in another decade or so. Turn around and sell it rather soon and you might, just might make a few cents after the selling fees or possibly lose money on it since no one really wanted it this go round, probably because those splotched tones are rather ugly if you ask me.
