PR62 just sold at Heritage for $2.76 million. Isn't that a little low? Then again, didn't it used to be graded XF40 about 50 years ago?
And people wonder why CT members say don't go by price guides. Rate or not, that's a difference of $1.6M.
As TDN and others who actually play at that level have stated before they aren't graded, they're so rare they're just ranked against each other.
Again they aren't graded they're ranked each other. You can count the number of coins on your fingers.
I guess if they know it is a proof, OK. But it's much lower than 62. Reverse is much better, 55. But the obverse shows wear and circulation. 45-50. Maybe net 50 on old silver benefit of the doubt rhythm.
Makes no difference. It looks better in the slab photo and the trueview but 1-x or ranked how they are wouldn't make a difference.
50 is a bit of an exaggeration, but I think you're referring to the Adams coin which was graded 45 in '89, then upgraded a few times until '01 when it was graded AU58. As far as I know it still is. Even the current articles about this coin "politely" refer to the 62 grade as being generous. And I'm pretty sure it's been upgraded before as well, but I do not recall the previous grades. Perhaps @Conder101 does. Me, I'd grade it 50 at best. There may be hope for you after all CBD
It's been graded as a 62 since at least 2008 when NGC graded it 62. Between 2008 and 2013 it was crossed over to PCGS.
