<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 568299, member: 4350&quot;]Let me start by saying that it is a beautiful coin.&nbsp; I have no idea what a final price would be on one like this.&nbsp; Here is what concerns me.&nbsp; As you note,&nbsp; the coin does not deserve a 5FS designation.&nbsp; It may be close,&nbsp; but it just doesn&#039;t get there.</p><p><br /></p><p>You , or anyone else will be bidding against others who are buying the slab and not the coin.&nbsp; They will want to buy it and turn it quickly because of the slab.&nbsp; I can see it coming...when the new owner tries to sell it.....whoever it turns out to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now,&nbsp; you want to add it to a registry set and maybe you want to keep it for awhile.&nbsp; You are looking to buy the coin and not just the slab. </p><p><br /></p><p>That means if you take emotion out of the equation,&nbsp; whatever it goes for if you happen to be bidding against dealers, for example,&nbsp; you will pay too much for the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Someday when you try to sell it,&nbsp; or a family member tries to sell it,&nbsp; you can be sure that the purchaser,&nbsp; if a dealer will point out that the slab doesn&#039;t match the steps.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you pay too much up front and you lose again on the backend.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you show the coin to others , which is the reason for registry coins,. (otherwise, the registry wouldn&#039;t matter)&nbsp; they too will notice that the 5FS designation is a little weak.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the coin goes for a number at the low end of the MS-67 value,&nbsp; then you do OK.&nbsp; I am not going to guess what that number should be.&nbsp; If the coin goes for MS-67 5FS money or higher....you lose.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why...because you let emotion get you and you are not getting what is marked on the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my humble opinion.&nbsp; Still a very nice coin and one that you may not see available again for awhile,&nbsp; so I see why it is a tough question for you.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
