<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1413820, member: 24633&quot;]I agree completely with Paul, but then, it is neither he nor I who is shelling out the money. It all boils down to whether or not you like it and can afford it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had been looking for several years for a nicely-toned Oregon Trail. Blast white and MS64/65 specimens were just too common, but every time I saw a nice one at auction, I got blown out of the water. A couple years ago, I spotted this one on Mark Feld&#039;s site, and I was able to buy it at a price <b>substantially</b> below Numismedia and the auction prices where I was outbid. I knew it was a good deal and I didn&#039;t want to risk losing it to someone else, so I didn&#039;t hesitate buying it. It&#039;s a 1926-S, NGC MS67. NGC has graded a total of 2746 with 196 in MS67 and 11 higher. Of course, I already knew these stats because MS67 was my target grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>The biggest mistake I think Detecto made, despite the fact that most early commem prices have remained low, is his belief that his MS64 specimen will increase in value (enough to overcome inflation?) 20 years down the road.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
