Message:: [QUOTE="Rob Scholl, post: 7931873, member: 118372"]Not wanting to get it graded for any reason but resale value. I see graded that don't look as good as this for $200.00 or so. There's one site where someone is trying to sell one for $5,000.00 or so. Someone at this site had a Franklin for $5,000.00. I had three of the same coin in better condition. I told him this and I'll sell to him for $1,000.00 a piece. Never heard back. Slabbed is prestige. Coin looks better in a slab with a professional grade. I may never do it. I started collecting 5 or 6 ago. I retired and needed something to do. I like to spend money and with coin collecting I can buy and sell. If I decide to sell a coin i see what others are selling for and offer for less. I like help people out without taking half their paycheck. I answered the comment and then some. If it got a high grade and some special circumstances and is worth $500.00 I'd know. Professionals graded it. If it came back graded something and is worth fifty bucks. Now I know. It is worth it. For me it's a hobby. I can take a loss without taking food off the table. Yeah, I'd like to find that coin that's worth half a million. But I'm 99.9% sure I won't. Nothing is 100% sure.[/QUOTE]
