<p>[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 4404590, member: 105571"]Here's the way I look at it: My price at auction including BP and shipping was exactly Greysheet for MS-62 and typical of similarly graded pieces at numerous auctions. Since the market price in general for MS-62 is set by the slab grade for most transactions, then my coin for commercial transaction purposes is worth MS-62 money. We can argue all day long about whether you, the discerning collector, would pay MS-62 money for my AU-58 coin but that would be completely beside the point. This coin, when it ever again enters the market, will sell in the market at its slabbed value because that's what the market does; tries to turn individual items into commodities. But again, that is beside the point for me: I have never seen a coin this nice at grades all the way up to MS-63 and I've seen some MS-64s that weren't as nice. To me, this coin is worth every bit of what I paid for it and then some because I'm not in it to make a buck or "get a deal".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
