[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 7829098, member: 44357"]I know the buyer that just bought the coin: he was well aware of the Heritage and Stacks sales prices (didn't bid on them in those auctions). The added pedigree is worth the premium in his eyes; fair play to CNG for piecing the pedigree back together. I viewed the coin two days ago at the ANA show: the edge issues are hardly worth mentioning but I agree that a slab with that denoted and the poor surface grade will have killed the coin. I suspect NGC is particularly cautious when it comes to edges as the edge is partly obscured by the slab. Personally, I'd want the coin to be a bit sharper so I passed on it, although I did consider it (also knowing the recent sale price). I will likely sacrifice some pedigree when adding one at some point.[/QUOTE]
