I brought the coin to a show to get a few dealers to give opinions. A couple dealers said it was an AU, overgraded, etc.. Now it resides in the next higher holder with advantage to me. How many dealers do not know how to properly grade coins? A lot, betcha! </p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage Auctions are leading market makers. They know what will upgrade and what isn't worth the try. If you had sent the coin to CAC and then run it at auction demanding better images, you could have made a bundle. If it is a condition census coin and very rare, it could sell very strong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
