+1 As long as a dealer isn't fraudulent, he should make make as much as he possibly can. Buying and selling is a mutual, two-way transaction and...
Edssco- You may also want to take a look at the PCGS price guide to see if you think it would even be worth the fees of submitting....
Looks like it either survived a fire or a kid playing around with an acetylene torch. I've put many a zincoln through this torture.
