<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 3731954, member: 77639"]Cost me $56. Because of lowballers, the cost versus grade price curve for certified coins goes up at the very low end. I don't really collect or compete at the low end (this is my only cellar coin) because: 1. I like higher graded coins (cost rules there though<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />), 2. grade can be artificially reduced. The trick is not to overdo it and wind up with an ungradable coin. I'm not into the wear-to-the-borderline game using rock tumblers, sanders and such.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
