<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 438441, member: 3726"]I think a clarification should be added. Do your research before selling. Why have the headaches for moving a coin if you can sell it to a dealer and still make money. Talking small dollar profits - I sold most of my moderns to a dealer. I know there were several sets I could buy online for maybe $8 (including S,H&I) more. Most of my gold an platinum I made profit on just because of the price at the time. So I made profit and he will make profit okay by me. Plus no headache of dealing with dead beat buyers from ebay. High dollar coins would be different and require more research. I also know they will offer more than bid on some fast moving inventory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now as to the original post the answer is no when grading. This is one of those coins that I see that I skip. Well I might bid, but would end up losing. Heritage puts up a lot of IHC's that do not meet my definition of 64. I skip them or if the coins is still nice in my opinion I apply my grade and bid based on that. Lose much more than win, but oh well. At the same time on this coin and a few IHC's I would not fault someone else for bidding at the grade. I must admit this coin is very lusterous and frosty. Really cool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
