[QUOTE="Mark Feld, post: 622718, member: 11467"]Those prices are absurdly high - you basically paid MS64 prices for MS63 coins which are not particularly rare. And, as has also already been noted, it's irrelevant what grade examples of those dates happen to be in the Smithsonian. If you paid similar exorbitant prices for the pieces you already bought (and I would guess you did), you should do everything possible to return them, even if it means taking a large loss. For example if you paid $2000 for a coin that is worth only $1200, even if you lose 20% of your cost and get $1600 back for it, that is still much better than keeping the coin, which is worth $1200. Swallow your pride, use this as a learning experience and sell the coins back, rather than keeping them and praying that some day they will appreciate in value to what you paid for them. I know from having helped other collectors and investors in similar situations, that it's easier and less unpleasant to do nothing, not confront such sellers and not think about the unpleasant reality. But that will cost you a lot of money.[/QUOTE]
