Message:: [QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2145853, member: 71723"]Well, for starters, most of my modern is in OGP, not slabs. Of the ones that are in slabs, NONE are 70's, not even ONE. I refuse to pay for that which I cannot see. 69's? Sure, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a 69. So you are correct; I could sell no 70's. I don't own any. Secondly, I never have ANY money in coins that I will ever need quickly. That's insane! I bought every coin I own with the full knowledge that liquidating will only ever be done slowly over time through multiple channels. Frankly, it never occurred to me to expect that kind of liquidity from coins. I simply can't imagine a world where I'd ever need to do what you describe with those 100 PCGS MS63-65's. On the other hand, on the last day of Kennedy sales at Chicago (Thursday?), I bought 2 clad sets for $9.95 each, and BEFORE I HIT HALFWAY TO THE FRONT, a dealer offered me $75 for ONE set. He bought me a nice dinner. My idea of fun is finding 67's and 68's among coins intended for circulation, frequently from rolls put back fairly long ago. (But within my lifetime.) Sometimes I miss and they come back as 6's. More often, I hit.[/QUOTE]
