    Beautiful coins! I expect they won't last long in the inventory...

    It's tough to say... I may have to send them to CAC and then to an auction as a pair to truly realize the big money.

    That sounds like a good strategy. As a collector, if I saw those in your display I would be extremely interested. As a dealer, you must compare short term gain vs. longer term potentially bigger gain. Something of a dilemma, but I'm sure you'll come out ahead regardless. Really, 2 stunning Frankies.

    Good plan. That's what I would do.

    I have to ask. Did you pay grey sheet for low MS's or did you offer grey sheet for one or two grades below what they came back as?

    I paid multiples of greysheet bid for these coins. Any other questions?

    Actually...I do, and I don't need any specific numbers here because it's none of my business. But, I would be curious to know how you evaluate the value of nicely toned pieces like this (for both buying and selling). From what I have seen, the market can be all over the place with these coins. I can't imagine you use the same "formula" for each nicely toned coin...but you must have a "game plan" when it comes to evaluating them.

    Honestly... It's really a guessing game with raw toners... I compared these coins to similar toned examples from the same date and in the grade range I thought it should land in that sold at auction. But it very well can be a craps shoot.

    I almost forgot about this coin. This quarter was in the same mint set pack with these 2.

    That quarter is beautiful. For whatever reason, I just love Washington Quarters...and that one is a real beauty.

    Some nice coins. I thought full bell lines had to go all the way across ? Those seem to merge in a couple places. Could just be the pictures.

    Gee, if only you had used some silver polish on them, you would have had some real nice bright coins, instead of that tarnish.
