[QUOTE="mikem2000, post: 1460179, member: 30574"]Hi, I have been looking for an MPL for almost a year now, I bought Kevin's Flynn's book, did my research, have bid on several coins over the last year and finally I was the successful bidder on a 1913 MPL. Originally I thought it was a good price but then I started having my doubts. Any input would be helpful and I have a thick skin so if you think I got hosed let me know. The MPL is in an NGC holder graded PF 66 RB. The problem is, I started thinking I paid for RB plastic but got a BN coin. The price guides for MPL's are sort of usless so I had to rely on past auction prices and there is a huge varience in price for the same grade/color coin. Anyway I paid $1620 for the coin. The obverse is mostly brown with some reds poking through. The reverse has more red. So the first question is, do you think it is an RB coin? As for the sufaces they are wonderful so I think the 66 grade is correct but if your opinion differs, let me know. Now when researching, it seems that PCGS MPL's have a sizable premium over NGC coins so do you think the coin would cross at 66 and would the color cross. Also I am not sure if it matters much or not but if the coin did cross would it lose the Walter Child's pedigree? So what do you think. Fair deal or not. Mike [ATTACH]182163.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
