[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 482745, member: 5233"]I wouldn't have much faith in that policy either. Remember the old saying "trust once gone is gone forever" and this guy lost that trust from most collectors long ago. However, if that coin is the one you'll actually receive...it does look pretty nice. I have no idea how far a 70 is from it's actual grade because there is so little difference at grades this high. As far as values, don't trust red book. If you look on Heritage you get a much better idea of the current going prices. In their history archives, slabbed PF70s are selling for around $100-$150 for NGC and a little higher for PCGS. PF69s are selling for somewhere between $40 and $60. This is a much better source for the current going rate. Unless this coin has been damaged (which it looks fine in the pics), it's probably around a 69...maybe a 68 at the lowest.
