<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 26728152, member: 153164&quot;]Chances are those 8 dimes were slabbed due to any of 3 reasons:</p><p><br /></p><p>1 - A dealer may have been doing a bulk submission and could have included these since chances are really good that for a submission large enough, they received a significant discount.</p><p><br /></p><p>2 - The person may have believed the coins were of a significantly higher grade than they were, or may have thought the dimes were worthy of a Full Bands grade. Some dimes from the 1970s, such as 1976 (P) can bring some huge money in full bands.</p><p><br /></p><p>3 - These coins could have been part of a set of some sort, possibly something as off the wall as a year set or an entire Roosevelt dime run in MS64.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is that since multi-coin auctions can go for some serious money on GC, these were likely consigned with hopes of bringing a much higher amount than $14. I won several ICG-graded lots on the same night, all for under $5 a slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure ICG is fond of whoever submitted these. I can&#039;t blame them, I&#039;d be fond too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
