[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 4049426, member: 73489"]Looks like a great coin, [I]can you show as FULL ATTATCHMENT so we can zoom in on it easily ?[/I] I'm not going to say I'm an expert on this Technical vs. Market Grading thing...but I believe the fact that an MS67 is a $12,000 coin is the reason why any STRONG MS66 1923-D....or CAC MS66...is going to sell for a nice premium and still not "split the difference" price-wise to an MS67. In that back-and-forth in another thread with others, I saw some MS66's (I believe they were CAC or maybe 66+) going for over $5,000. I point that out NOT because I wanted a coin that cost more, I didn't. I believe in buying the coin, not the slab or the sticker price. But some of the nicer looking ones definitely tack on 20-40% to the average MS66 price and it's only partway to an MS67 price-wise.
