I have a feeling these will sell for a hefty amount http://cgi.ebay.com/1943-P-1943-D-1...ryZ39457QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
IMO, if they were slabbed MS-66 by a good TPG they SHOULD sell for about $100 for the group. Unslabbed, and with all the seller's hype, maybe $50. But let the clueless people get into the mix and OP's contention could be correct.
It's a solid claim, BUT, heavily in sellers favor. If you choose to slab them at a top 2 TPG, the cost is a minimum of $18 each plus shipping, around $75 total if just the 3 are submitted. To make the 30 day return timeframe, your cost per coin is $30+ as the $18 is the SLOOOWWWW service. Now think. Seller starts off with 3 raw nicer 1943 cents. If they dont get the 66, you ship back and seller, for the cost of listing fees and 1 way shipping, now has 3 slabbed MS-65's or better. Pretty good deal for the seller, and your out a whole bunch of money.
so, Do you suppose he's already submitted them and cracked em out? I think the 43 and 43 D could hit 66 maybe the philly one could hit 67. regardless of shipping prices, slabbing prices, Technical grades, I think they are beautiful, The detail on the cheek on all those is unbelievable. and the 100 dollar mark is what I was thinking in the OP. 100-150$
His repute just went down with me. Just look at who he has doing his certification! http://cgi.ebay.com/1943-P-Lincoln-...39457QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
Good catch. He shot himself in the foot with that one. The ones that the OP picked up on are obviously in a different holder. Looks VERY similar to a PCGS holder. But if they were in a PCGS holder he would have splashed that all over the place. My "at best" estimate of $50 may be too high.
True, but my contention is that coins cannot be graded from images when you get above MS-65. Images can be poorly rendered. Images can be manipulated. (Any image can, but it takes a LOT less tweaking to make a MS-66 look like a MS-67. You are beyond the major problems that show on the MS-63 or -64 coins.) The annoyance of the fair chance of getting something less that the image portrays doesn't make it worth while to me. Fighting to get a FULL refund (bid plus S&H plus return S&H) is way too much.
