[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1708130, member: 27832"]Probably not four figures, unless I find a collector whose particular obsession is holed AND engraved coins. :) A quick eBay sold-items check turns up four that have sold in the last two months: An NGC proof-details coin with beautiful cameo devices, but terrible liquid damage, went for $1869. An NGC PF62 CAMEO went for $2283. A PCGS PR61 went for $2300 (BIN, not sure how long it took to sell). And, finally, a PCGS PR64CAM went for $6250 BIN -- but it had been up for almost a year! It would be great if this were an unimpaired example, but if someone were granting me those sorts of wishes, I'd be concentrating on other coins in my collection. :) I don't think mine would do as well as that first impaired proof in the list. But after seeing these numbers, I'm even more convinced that this thing is worth sending in -- it'll be an expensive disappointment if it comes back "not genuine", "questionable", "unverifiable", or even "not suitable", but a big value boost if it [I]does[/I] slab. Too bad ANACS isn't running their "dollars and cents" special any more; as of this lot, I'm sure I've got at least ten dollars and cents that would be worth a $10 risk...[/QUOTE]
