<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 5293304, member: 24633&quot;]I&#039;m sure you&#039;ve heard this repeated many times. <b><i>&quot;It is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.&quot;</i></b></p><p><b><i><br /></i></b></p><p>For example, consider this coin that I have owned ever since I found it in a 2001 Kennedy Mixed P&amp;D bag that I bought from the US Mint in 2004.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1222329[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>After I had already submitted it for authentication &amp; grading and got it back from NGC, another 2001-D missing the clad layer was listed for sale on eBay. It was ungraded, and the owner claimed that it was one-of-a-kind. I contacted him to let him know that I also had one and sent him the photo. It happened that we had both found them in the mixed P&amp;D bags that the Mint sold in 2004. He promptly edited his listing to acknowledge the new information, and ended up selling it for $555.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, 16 years later, I have had a couple of offers for my <u>certified specimen</u> but neither offer has been anywhere near the price received for that ungraded specimen. So, it doesn&#039;t matter if you own all of the specimens or not. All that matters is how much someone is willing to pay for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
