It's just like any other investment except you are investing in a precious metal over say, the performance of a company through the stock market....
Greysheet/book value puts a 1958 MS65 at around $20. The problem I have with toned coins is, it's really up to the buyer if they're willing to...
I'd pay face value for that coin.. what, 11 cents. ;)
True, but the times I've bid on them, not seeing the reserve price say it's met and I know the coin isn't gonna fetch any higher, the seller to me...
Appears likely to be caused by a grease filled die, which if it is, doesn't usually drive the price too high. I think most would say they wouldn't...
