<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 2457942, member: 3726&quot;]Personally I like your thought process. And I will say good pickup. And don&#039;t be surprised if your tastes(or eye appeal) change going forward with large cents and copper. I now have a look I want for my middle and late dates. Not so much color or grade, but the surfaces.&nbsp; One of the reason I am updating some of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The TPG probably saw no wear, muted luster and gave it a 62.&nbsp; When I first started the EAC&#039;ers really did not like slabs, but now more of them are carrying slabbed coins. The hard core EAC&#039;er&#039;s don&#039;t need them, but I personally think the slabs alone will expand their market.&nbsp; Some people want the comfort of the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if the coin was on sale on ebay with those pictures - I would say MS Details and move on. No matter what the holder or the dealer said. To me the pictures alone make me think something is off for the reverse - buffing or not, it just seems a little off in the pictures. Can&#039;t stress &quot;in the pictures enough&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>You have it in hand.&nbsp; Now if I went down to the local shop I might very well pick the coin up to look at it.&nbsp; If the coin is as you say and the dealer said 145 - I might very well say sold.&nbsp; Probably one of the reasons I do not buy many coins off ebay and I use dealers more than anything.&nbsp; Just my opinion and while I love copper I am not an EAC&#039;er.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
