<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1627231, member: 36230&quot;]If you&#039;ve been trying to sell/trade for months without luck, you either have no found the right buyer (very possible with &quot;niche&quot; coins) or are asking too much. Another thing to consider is that with many things in life, coins are a popularity contest. If for whatever reason 001 is a popular variety, even if it is much more common than yours, it will likely (or at least can) sell at a much higher premium. Think of the so-called &quot;keys&quot; in popular series such as Lincolns, Mercs, Morgans, etc. None are anywhere close to rare, but mostly because of the popularity of the series, prices are higher to much higher than other, much more scarce coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>You may want to seek out those more familiar with Eisenhower varieties (19lyds, as already suggested, or IIRC, there is an Ike-only forum). I am not sure if either of the top two will slab this one or not, so the decision may be a relatively easy one. I know all too well how some view ANACS, but even with non varieties, their plastic <i>can</i> make coins more liquid. I&#039;ve used their specials a few times to get what were slow moving raw coins out the door even though this was generally a break even move. People can say whatever they wish about buying the coin and not the slab, or about ANACS in general, but there are people out there who do place value on their plastic and will buy their coins over raw. If you are confident that you will at least recoup the submission costs, and that the coin will grade out (no problem) at an acceptable level, submitting may be the way to go since it will let potential buyers know exactly what variety they are buying.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe what Chris is more concerned about is the marks/scratches in the southeast obverse field. Even if coin is otherwise gradable, these issues very well could get it bagged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
