Message:: [QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2495898, member: 1892"]Well.... The DDO was a little above market, such as I can determine it because most examples in that grade are full Red. It went for $150 more - 30% more - than a similar 66RB did in the same auction, although that second example lacked the CAC sticker. The SLQ was, best as I can tell, by far the highest price ever paid at public auction for an MS62FH, 50% more than the next most expensive (which was a clearly undergraded coin) and well more than double the typical price in grade. It's about a $300 coin, and you could have had a nice MS64 for the price you paid. In fact, a pretty toned 65FH hammered for less than $100 more than you paid, in the same auction. You really, really ought to get a better feel for what these coins are worth before throwing money at them. That's almost $500 thrown away to the wind - you won't recover it any time in the next few decades, although the DDO *might* eventually catch up - in one auction.[/QUOTE]
