<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 873111, member: 11854"]I'll be the wet blanket and tell you that I really don't like these two coins at $710 combined. The Lincoln <i>might </i>be AU58, but if it isn't it is still limited to MS62-MS63, which gives it an upside in my opinion of about $130-$140. The Antietam has a <i>very high </i>basal price and these can come extraordinarily nice in MS65 or better, which only adds perhaps $150 to the price. However, this one might have a spot of PVC on the middle of the obverse, or perhaps it is just loosely adhered gunk, but it also has MS62-MS63 eye appeal. As such, it might be $625-$650 for the coin. While these values add up to more than the $710 spent, I think if you ever try to sell the coins, and we all sell coins at times that we never planned to sell when we purchased them, you may find resistance in the sales since these are common coins in higher grades for only a few dollars more. In other words, I don't think you purchased the value grade for each coin and this might hurt upon resale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
