I recently traded one of the last GSA's I owned as part of a deal for that fabulous French 1/2 ecu I posted about. It was an '81-CC. I had graded...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !! Michael :D
It is not unheard of to find a dealer offering a given coin in a given grade for less than current market value. But it certainly doesn't happen...

EXCELLENT !! You get a round of applause my friend ;)
Yes - it is quite common for many dealers to overgrade their coins. But it is quite uncommon for them to underprice them. But if what you mean is...
