<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mkivtt, post: 18718946, member: 42887&quot;]Hmm I still think that AU55 coin is the better one. The MS64+ has more wear, a worse strike, and I don&#039;t see any toning other than in the lettering.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I missed out on the piece below yesterday ago, and two others, as I wasn&#039;t present at the live bidding and my 3x the estimates advance bids weren&#039;t enough. Very disappointing. That&#039;s like the eight time I miss on a coin at Kuenker. Prices for really nice coins seem to have gone through the roof the last 6-8 years. Coins I bought for 1K a decade are now easily going for 2-5K. If another one pops up, guess it&#039;ll be waking up at 3 AM to join the live auction <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>WCG, your coin is still beautiful. I actually like pieces that have a bit more wear as they feel more &quot;real&quot; and have been handled. Always makes me wonder where they&#039;ve been, who owned them, etc. I have multiple lower grade coins like VF35 and some of them are just as nice as some MS pieces because they have character.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1538052[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
