<p>[QUOTE="dmott88, post: 1727000, member: 33129"]Let me first state I am more than just a "home grader." I have worked for 2 large coin companies professionally as a coin grader as well as my own business. I have seen thousands upon thousands of blue pack Ikes and this one by far was superior. I have never seen such luster on a specimen thus, I decided to submit it. </p><p>Secondly, the coin cost me a whole $5 and the submission was a whole $18. So, with that being said this coin even at a $66 can be sold for a profit. Not that I would sell it because of its blazing luster, but if I did it would fetch well into the $30-$40 range. </p><p>Lastly, from my experience, this coin was under-graded as some coins do from TPGs. Just because it resides in a PCGS MS66 slab does not mean it is a true 66. How many coins are often re-submitted over and over again to achieve the grade that a "home grader" deems the coin to actually be?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
