<p>[QUOTE="dchjr, post: 2820974, member: 76379"]I actually only had it graded, to fill an order that was running a special. Yes, I went through rolls of them to find the best one. Not as easy as it sounds. Most circulation coins are damaged during handling or not struck well to begin with. I got lucky with the one. I had estimated that it would grade above MS65, so the gamble was lessened. It cost about $11 to get it graded, slabbed, and shipping and the return would have been close to the same at a MS66. My original thought was to keep it for a few years. If it goes up in price, great. If it goes down, then dang, but still an MS68 will keep value as it gets older. I've explored selling it to see what kind of interest there is. The hard part IS trying to sell it. I've shown it to several dealers and collectors, but being so new no one wants it, especially at the price listing for such a coin. So, unless a good offer comes along I'll keep it for $11.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
