I've heard this tune and played this game before. I see this as more of a flip and run opportunity. I don't know and can't begin to predict...
have you weighed the advantages / costs of certification vs the value of the coins once certified?
At $135, I'll pass

I don't know where you get that PCGS does not consider proofs to have luster, as the exact line you quote says "luster, or reflectivity for...

for $8, you did great, willie
the pictures are pretty fuzzy and that's not going to be conducive to accurate grading. I see remnants of WE, so my guess with these pictures is...
Nice find on the megalodon tooth Lord M!
Thanks Doug. I was trying to answer the OP's original question with an example.
Doug, where does the 1922 No D Lincoln Cent fall on your scale? Are there any Mint State examples? The dies surely were worn, to the point where...
Good catch, Kirk! Looking closely at the lettering makes me question if the coin is authentic. It doesn't look sharp enough to be genuine. Maybe...
why do you believe it to be a proof coin?
