<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 17618440, member: 10461&quot;]No, thanks for the detailed breakdown.&nbsp; Upon further examination, at least of these pics, I concur with the VF30-35 assessment.&nbsp; I will say that (as usual) my photos are not optimal, and the lighting gives the coin a very slightly greener tint; under sunlight or incandescent lighting, it’s a bit browner looking.</p><p><br /></p><p>One other person on CU has suggested it might have had an old cleaning.&nbsp; I wonder if that was based on what you see on the reverse.&nbsp; If that’s indeed the case, I would hope a TPG would deem it “market acceptable”.</p><p><br /></p><p>But then, as you mentioned, it’s barely worth the added expense of slabbing, financially speaking.&nbsp; Sure, if I could be assured of a straight XF40, I think it would be (if only just).&nbsp; But since that’s looking like a bit of a long shot, and a straight grade is also not 100% assured, perhaps I should just flip it as originally intended.</p><p><br /></p><p>Normally I’d look for a higher grade example as my type coin, anyway.&nbsp; But I do like this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Numismedia retail price is $83 in VF20 and $168 in XF40. I do not recall what I paid [USER=48335]@jerryc39[/USER] for it last year, but I know it was less than the Numismedia VF price.&nbsp; I believe it was about $70.&nbsp; So does it make sense for me to roll the dice on a PCGS submission that would add another $45-50-ish to the price?&nbsp; Hmm.&nbsp; Barely, if at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I should just flip it and put the proceeds toward a better, higher grade Coronet cent type coin that’s already been slabbed.&nbsp; I’ll mull that over.&nbsp; I do think it would be a nice addition for somebody who has a raw Dansco-7070-style type set.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m told it’s a late die state N6, R2.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
