As I understand it a coin graded (let's say) MS-64 with a green CAC sticker would be equivalent to a MS-64+ or a MS-64 star. In other words a VERY...
If your image is a scan then the opinions are about right. But if it's a photograph then I see it as a DETAILS coin (dipped).
$400 for a MS-62 is a GOOD price. Your original problem was mostly that it wasn't slabbed.
IMO too much "noise" on the cheek. I'd say either MS-61 or -62 (more likely a -62).
Well, for me the show was a total washout. I got nothing. Most of what I was looking for I couldn't find. And the few items I did find were higher...
Walk over to the Inner Harbor; use the Sky Ramps. Large food court; lots of options; not expensive. As for the show, spend at LEAST one hour just...

That and some common sense are good enough. Better than nothing.
Excellent question. We get plenty posts about DDO's, DDR's, RPM's, etc. Most are Post Mint Damage. But on occasion we get something that is legit....
I don't know how "thick" they will be because "convexity" of the coins but there may also be new bulkier slabs.
I'll be there Friday from about 10AM to 1PM. That's all the longer I need to do serious damage to my wallet. As I've mentioned in another thread...
My good stuff is in a safe deposit box at my bank. It's only the inexpensive items I keep at home ... in a 2-hour safe. For the best rates from...
Your question is being asked and discussed more and more often. People I talk to generally prefer the high grade AU coin over the low grade MS...
My standard response. For that much money I won't bid/buy unless the coin is slabbed.
I am VERY pro Registry Set. Why? Because buying a bunch of coins to sock away in some storage facility is ridiculous. I take pictures of my coins...
