[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2177061, member: 112"]So, it is at best currently in 63 slab, which of course means it could be even lower. And you think it would be an easy flip if it upgrades to 64 ? Have you checked realized prices lately ? I just did, and for the most part 64s in NGC or PCGS are selling for $50-$100 more than 63s. And that would hardly seem to make it worthwhile paying the grading fees. Add to that, that based on your pictures, which is all we have to go on of course, that the coin is weakly struck and significantly so, then the chances of an upgrade to 65 which is what it would take for it to matter, are diminished. And that's even taking the significant loosening of grading standards into account. Add to that, that it is accepted that most coins still in one of theses old holders is still in that holder because it was over-graded to begin with, or at best correctly graded, and the chances for an upgrade are diminished even further. So should you buy the coin ? I'd have to say no. But hey, that's just me.[/QUOTE]
