<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1943011, member: 5233"]Something else to think about too is...what is your motivation to get it? Are you wanting the coin, the slab or both? Some people like to collect slab types and IMHO that is a perfectly acceptable hobby. However, if that is your desire here...if it were me I would pass because the slab is in rough shape. Are you more after the coin? If so, what do you think it grades? The reason I ask is a lot of people get caught up in the "old slabs always upgrade" mindset and overpay. This is not the truth. Even back then, sliders existed. Yes, grading was more conservative but because of that...many of the coins that would upgrade have already been upgraded. Thus, we are left with a lot of those sliders still in the slabs. A lot of people forget about this and I have seen coins sell for prices well above their grade...when you actually look at the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I admit, it's a cool piece. I would just say do your due diligence and decide what you are willing to pay in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
