[QUOTE="Tim C, post: 2178226, member: 71569"]Apples to Oranges….. Your 1953-D is a “Problem Coin” (AU Details – Obverse Wheel Mark), whereas the OP’s coin is graded problem free in MS67. It stands to reason that the OP’s coin would be worth multiples of your “Problem Coin”. You can not tell from the picture, but realizing that both PCGS and NGC will with higher grade 1965 – 1967 coins lean towards SMS over MS when in doubt (mostly for liability issues and the cost to their guarantee) and noticing the lack of details in the eagle’s feathers below the shield makes me question if this coin is a “business strike” or from a “Special Mint Set”. If it turns out to being a “business strike” coin graded MS67 then the $500 paid would be just a fraction of its value – even without the error on the coin. When and if the OP decides to sell, I doubt that he will have a problem finding a buyer for a minimum of 90% of his buy price (he could very well actually sell for more than his buy price).[/QUOTE]
