<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 1885567, member: 20480&quot;]You are right . . . I do have grades in titles of some of my raw coins . . . but not many, and mainly to characterize them either as BU or not.&nbsp; If they are not graded by a TPG I do not put numerical grades in titles.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the 1891-CC $10 you cite, yes, I ultimately sold that coin to another customer of mine for slightly less than you declined it for ($2050 was my price to you).&nbsp; He was tickled pink to buy it, knowing it he was buying a premium coin for the grade, and he paid that price in the MS61 holder, not with any expectations that a raw coin would grade MS62.&nbsp; You left my table clearly struggling with your decision at the time, so it wasn&#039;t as if the price was so outlandish as to be rejected out-of-hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even if the price had been a little high for the grade, I sell a lot of coins for more than the price guides suggest is fair . . . many are underrated dates, while others might have superior eye appeal for another reason, be it original toning, unusual luster for the issue, exceptional strike or far fewer marks than normally seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>You and I both discussed the possibility that the coin could grade 62, and that it might take more than one submission to get there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, you may not be happy about walking away from the coin, but someone else is.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the price . . . $2050 was very fair for a 61 in my book.</p><p><br /></p><p>- Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
