Krause lists that coin for $25.00 in BU! NGC lists it for $25.00 in MS63.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lots of the GB coins I&#039;ve seen on there for the past 2 months have been listed at book value or more. It&#039;s downright stupid and a waste of time with an auction if your starting bid is over book value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
