I agree. I have learned this over the past six months. Collectors come in with coins to see and want to sell them at Trends money. Then when I...
Looks like a nice 66 to me. I bet it has a lot of luster beneath the toning that shows up well in hand.
They are priced ridiculously high. Look at what they charge for low grade Walker Halves for example.
