<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2768851, member: 15309&quot;]When you say &quot;I don&#039;t see the added value&quot;, does that mean that you don&#039;t think that eye appeal and attractive toning is worth a premium?&nbsp; And if you don&#039;t think eye appeal is worth extra money personally, do you understand that many others in the numismatic world will pay handsomely for an attractive coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to point out, that this is a coin, not &quot;plastic&quot;.&nbsp; While there may be some deep pocket collectors who simply buy the highest graded plastic they can find in order to reach the number 1 spot in the registry, I can tell you from experience that most registry collectors are educated and knowledgeable numismatists who put painstaking effort into assembling their collections. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your comments after &quot;As a dealer&quot; are hysterical to me.&nbsp; You won&#039;t pay a fair price because you don&#039;t know how long it would take to sell or how much the value would drop as the population grows.&nbsp; Part of being a dealer is understanding the market.&nbsp; If you are going to make that argument, you need to make the assumption that you are a dealer who doesn&#039;t deal in registry quality coins.&nbsp; Dealers can make huge scores on selling toned registry quality coins, precisely because there is no price guide for the coins.&nbsp; But rather than learn how to use this to your advantage, you would rather settle for 5-10%.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the appraisal, what if the guy responds by saying &quot;yes, I know what the PCGS Price Guide says, I was looking for a professional opinion!&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
