[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1982341, member: 41863"]Thank you for the clarification, and I can see how people may not know the rules enough to know that my post was intentional in its wording to help prevent any rule breaking on either side. I was trying to police myself before you had to. Now I still have yet to really have my question answered, and really its because my question wasnt ever clearly worded. I alluded to it, but never really put it down as I thought my replies would push the conversation in that direction but now I have to outright ask. Matts provided answer did help me to understand that the gap wasnt as wide as I thought for such a coin, but I still would have a problem putting the correct price on this piece. The $3,000 threshold I provided let me know that it was a realistic price, at least by what I would consider at first glance (as a buyer). However with such a wide margin and almost any number in between being acceptable, how do you pinpoint a fair price without leaving yourself short as a seller. As a buyer I also have an interest in the flip side of this because I dont want to pay at or near a 65 price for a coin that is technically only a really nice 64. It just seems a difficult place to price a coin. I guess if I were in Matt's shoes I would look at some 62-63s, 64s and 65-66s to get an idea what everyone else is asking (or has sold for) in this range and try to shoot for something leaning heavier towards a 65 price myself. As a buyer I would want this coin as close to 64 prices as I could get. So how do we bridge that gap? How is it correctly valued? Something like this seems to be a crap shoot, and I can even see several dealers with better than 65 prices on this hoping to find someone believing it would upgrade.[/QUOTE]
