[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1818087, member: 112"]RedRaider - Did you buy the coin because you like it and wanted it for your collection, or because you were hoping for a flip opportunity if you could get it graded ? I'm asking because your answer kind of determines what might be worth trying, or not trying. Looking at Heritage MS65 RB examples are bringing between $120-$160 for the most part. MS65 RD examples $400-$650. And since you've already got $100 in the coin, hoping for a minimum 65 RD is the only option that would make re-submission worth the cost. But looking at the coin I'd say it's a borderline RB as it is, assuming the color was found acceptable. But since they have already rejected it once, and since none of the examples I can find have even remotely similar coloring, then the odds of it being found acceptable and graded are quite low I would think. That said, if your desire is to just get the coin into a problem free slab, if you were to crack the coin out and leave it exposed to the air for a couple of weeks to a month, then I believe the coloring would tone down a bit and look more natural, and probably be acceptable. This means to me that a flip opportunity just isn't there, unless you are just willing to gamble on low odds. But if you like the coin for what it is, as it is, then all is good.[/QUOTE]
