<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 473500, member: 1674&quot;]Greg, it sold for less than the recent price history would indicate that it should sell for which tells me 2 things; first and foremost it is almost certainly a below average coin for the grade.&nbsp; A coin that is probably an MS 64 coin that somehow snuck into a 65 holder.&nbsp; Additionally it tells me something I already know (as a numismatic professional), that MS 65 small gold is very soft at the moment because the telemarketers aren&#039;t pushing it right now.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>These 2 factors make it look like this coin was a great deal, which is unlikely.&nbsp; Generally with coins searching for the absolue best price for a particular piece will only guarantee substandard quality in your collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin falls into the &quot;common coin in an uncommon grade&quot; category.&nbsp; As an investor it is the exact kind of coin you want to avoid.&nbsp; You want scarce to rare coins in the best grade available and also in your budget.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
