This coin was sold for a greater amount than the others.</p><p><br /></p><p>We don&#039;t know the actual original state of this &quot;linked&quot; sold coin, as is true of many coins certified by &quot;top tier&quot; TPG. We generally know that the coin received 16 bids from 11 different individuals. We do know that some receiving &quot;altered state&quot; TPG grades were &quot;conserved&quot; (i.e. &quot;cleaned) to receive a higher grade than their original state condition. I, and others, can prove that &quot;cleaned&quot; coins can receive elevated grades. Presentation is an important factor in determining final value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally, over the years, have purchased sight-seen certified &quot;cleaned&quot; Key and Semi-key date coins in slabs of the 8 TPG listed in the &quot;Grey Sheet&quot;. Buyers seem to accept these coins as authentic, reducing purchasing reluctance. I&#039;ve always sold these coins at a profit. Some were even removed from their slabs, submitted to a less critical TPG,&nbsp; receiving an equivalent or greater grades, thus realizing greater potential value through altered presentation.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
