<p>[QUOTE="Nick69, post: 6626767, member: 92972"]Thank you for the responses. I guess pickin and grinin didn't understand my question I am not walking into a coin shop looking to buy a coin. I am walking into a coin shop looking to sell a coin. I am not looking to rip anyone off and I don't want to get ripped off myself. I understand the specimen coins are much rarer and justify their value. How am I to know the value of a coin in my hand without a dealer telling me what the coin is. I have no idea where this coin actually came from (obviously it came from Canada) but I do not know if it came from a Proof set or a VIP set or a double Dollar set or a Dignitary set. I have a coin exactly as you see in my picture, a single coin still in mint cello and you can see the word "Royal" stamped on the side (standing for the Royal Canadian Mint). This coin is obviously uncirculated and my assumption is that it would grade a modest MS64 (I am not a coin grader). I do know that if this coin were indeed a specimen coin any dealer would buy it from me for $0.70 and if it were indeed a regular uncirculated or possibly proof-like no dealer in the world would give me $77.30. I guess my ultimate question is "Do I sell this coin for $0.70 or hold out for $5.90 or stubbornly wait for $77.30??? and No lordmarcovan I don't have any other coin to compare it with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
