<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2588394, member: 77639&quot;]The free-market answer is as much as possible.&nbsp; Another answer along the same line is the amount in retail price guides for coin in the new grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>It gets trickier from both a buyer&#039;s and dealer&#039;s perspective for pricier coins that are thinly traded, like rare varieties or patterns.&nbsp; Following scenario actually happened:&nbsp; A dealer buys a copper coin for $10K in an auction.&nbsp; It&#039;s PCGS 65RB with a CAC sticker.&nbsp; Dealer has it regraded, and it gets a 66RB, but CAC won&#039;t sticker it now.&nbsp; It&#039;s&nbsp; thinly traded, so price guides are useless.&nbsp; There are no recent auction records of a 66RB; about 20 years ago a couple sold for $10K.&nbsp; 65RB&#039;s appear at auction every 3-4 years and in the last 15 years, have brought $6-10K.&nbsp; A few 65RD&#039;s and 66RD&#039;s (top of pop) have been sold, but for much higher prices than 65RB&#039;s and 66RB&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming you had the money and wanted the coin, how much would you pay for the 66RB, or if a dealer, how much would you ask?</p><p><br /></p><p>Later, I&#039;ll post the dealer&#039;s asking price and other info.&nbsp; It&#039;s still available. And no, I&#039;m not considering buying it, just happened to see it in an auction and later in the dealer&#039;s inventory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
