[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2743312, member: 1892"]Let's break this down to a generality first. They were resold at a profit of over 50%. You [I]really[/I] want your whole life to go that way. :) Had you spent large amounts of time and effort on presenting them in just the right place at just the right time - depending on luck - you could have gotten $20 more apiece for them. Yes, this is a somewhat-pricey issue in upper grades, but they're raw. Or, you could have sat in front of a baseball game with a beer. Your grading impressions are accurate, and your images more than sufficient for appropriate evaluation. This specific coin, here, [B]might[/B] have been worth the gamble for slabbing, but I would not personally go higher than AU55 for it. The strength in the details is balanced by the prominence (and quality) of marks hard to attribute to anything but circulation. I, personally, won't go AU58 on a coin which wouldn't obviously be [I]at least[/I] a good MS63 had I decided it was Uncirculated. That's the problem with the Seated Dollar posted previously. You only get to have so much worry in life. Don't waste it here, there's no need. :)[/QUOTE]
