The final decision should be yours - But if they bother you that much - sell them and buy something towards your goal. I have several slabbed...
And just because a coin does not have a star does not mean it does not deserve it. You have to pay extra for the star designation. So it is...
That is one nice looking coin. Good addition!
Maybe this is the auction they are referring to.
Congrats on the coin! It is a beauty and deserving of the grade.
Certainly looks nice. Can we get larger pictures of both sides?
N-11 and N-12 share the same obverse. Several of the others mentioned die cracks, but I did not see another mention all the obverses. And the...
I don't believe the edge lettering adds any premium - or at least none that I am aware of. You can see hairlines on the coin with the new picture...

I will guess a MS65 - don't really know anything about them. To get rid of the glare use a diffuser of some kind - paper towel, napkin, etc. See...
Doesn't look like they are...the happy buyers are out numbering the negatives. And I agree I can get better at the local shop for way cheaper...
Could you elaborate? I see some spotiness, what could be some lower rim problems. Originally I thought it was die polish lines, but they go...
What a beauty of a coin. Nice 1854 and I agree with 65BN. Good story and sorry you lost out on the auction, but you definetly got a keeper in...
