<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 126601, member: 2972&quot;]While your pricing may be a bit off, this coin was (is) strongly priced for the grade, at least on the surface...</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the auction grades for the last four XF 45s that sold at Heritage:&nbsp; $161, $230, $149.50, $126.50.&nbsp; However, I would expect NGC to grade the coin AU 55.&nbsp; The last three prices for AU 55 NGC coins at Heritage were: $373.75, $241.50, $230.&nbsp; This coin was better than all of them, by far.&nbsp; Given all these facts, I feel that $400 was a fair price, and I have decided to keep the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is worth noting that 1818 was one of the dates included in the Randall Hoard, and prior to that was a much rarer date.&nbsp; While virtually all of those hoard coins are of a higher grade, not a single one that I&#039;ve ever seen has as choice of surfaces, as the Randall Hoard was buried in kegs in damp ground and suffered for it.&nbsp; Most of the hoard coins look more like this 1820 (PCGS MS 64 BN):</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.pbase.com/v3/81/115381/3/51472213.1820onecentobverse700small2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i.pbase.com/v3/81/115381/3/51472224.1820onecentreverse675small2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The 1818 is not a hoard coin, IMHO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for all your responses and questions, and I hope you enjoyed the post and the coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Take care...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
