Lost? :(
Sounds like the dealer made a mistake, outside the length of time he questioned you and his original mistake, I do not see where he acted...
I bought a gold dollar for a few hundred bucks of eBay. It's now in PCGS 65 plastic and worth a few grand. I've told the story of this coin on...
I think you have to look at the totality of the coin. If the doubling is so distracting as to knock it down a grade, so be it, but I can't think...
I don't regret selling anything.

45 and not cleaned is my assessment, FWIW.
When will it stop? Who knows. If the market deems there's a need, someone will seek to fill it. That's the nature of markets and capitalism....

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but let me ask you a question.... What's the difference between the "premium of the CAC bean" and the...
If I were in your shoes, I would consign my high-dollar coins to Heritage. DL (and some of the others mentioned in this thread) would be 2nd, and...
Right on, brother. :)
