<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 568458, member: 15309&quot;]PCGS MS65.&nbsp; The list price on this coin is just above Numismedia Retail of $10,530.&nbsp; However, Numismedia does not take into account the different die varieties when valuing these coins.&nbsp; This particular example is a Duvall 3-D variety which is the the most elusive of the 4 available.&nbsp; As stated before in another thread, the Duvall 4-E has a current population of 2.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last two rainbow toned Duvall 3-D Lafayettes auctioned by Heritage brought over $13,000 each.&nbsp; My concern with this coin is the pull away toning on the obverse and a mark on Washington&#039;s cheek.&nbsp; I have asked the seller to submit the coin to the CAC for review.&nbsp; If the coin comes back with a sticker, I will buy the coin immediately.&nbsp; If it does not, I will have to see the coin in hand before I commit to buy it at the listed price.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I really hope it gets a sticker.&nbsp; I know this will stir up much controversy.&nbsp; It seems that any support for the CAC always does.&nbsp; However, this is exactly the reason that the CAC was created.&nbsp; At the very least, it is the publicly stated reason that Albanese gave.&nbsp; If the coin has a sticker, I can be confident that the coin is good for the assigned grade of MS65 assigned by PCGS, and can buy the coin sight unseen from only viewing a photo.&nbsp; The photo incidentally was taken by none other than Mark Goodman, so we know that it is an extremely high quality pic.&nbsp; There is a $5,500 difference between MS64 and MS65 for this coin.&nbsp; If the coin does not sticker, I will wait until I see the coin in hand and decide for myself what grade I think it deserves and act accordingly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
