<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mill rat41, post: 1471589, member: 16688&quot;]Most of my &quot;bargains &quot; will be duds when it comes time to sell. The coins I stepped up for will likely do well.&nbsp; One thing I learned in the past couple of years on this site is that grade is only the starting point when it comes to price.</p><p><br /></p><p>For a recent example : I always wanted a 1907 no motto $10, I found two at local shops, both slabbed au58.&nbsp; One was fair for the grade - noticeable wear, a few decent hits, and middling luster. Priced at $950.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other at first blush looked like a ms 64 - hardly any wear (almost needed a loupe to find it), booming luster, and barely a mark on it. Priced at $1100.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which one did I buy? Neither,&nbsp; only because I want to see more coins in the flesh before making a decision.&nbsp; Likely at the next big show there will be many to pick from, some bargains,&nbsp; some not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
