Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 3880827, member: 105098"]I would have thought the price would drop also but it's rising. Since presales, almost 3000 have sold on ebay, 252 sold for over $750. Close to 2500 sold between $350 and $750. I'm thinking there will be a drop of some sort more distance between PR69 and raw since they are quite close in prices, but  I'm not sure if the PR69 will just go up instead and the raw doesn't drop... I agree it wasn't well advertised that he signed the first 100 numbers COA''s and PCGS isn't really promoting that aspect either with their COA grading but I do think it has to become a factor at some point if people end up doing it or even just a few do it and wind up with a certified hand signed COA to go along with a PR70 in a matched set. Kind of an unkown if there's a market for something like that beyond just a PR70 coin. I'm kind of blown away by this whole thing really. My point was that grading is going to cost a bit, but I don't really see this coin bing less than $300 in a PR69 from where I'm sitting today. I think if you bought at $65.95 it's probably worth the grading fees of $100 or so all said and done, to maybe get a PR70 back or at least a PR69 that's still selling for $600-$800. I just looked up a Baltimore show PR70 first strike that was listed for $3900 BIN that sold and someone paid $3500 for it. Yeah I think the grading might be worth the cost on this one.[/QUOTE]
