I'm not being nasty, I like Ruben, probably more than anyone else on this forum.

My point was that you have a similar conversational style to your father.

 

What is wrong with this coin that the asking price is so low?

maybe. I thought I sound more like my Aunt. My point is only that I discuss coins and people can make things very personal. It is not what I expected. Congeniality is what I am used to.

 

Multiple and an S and even some of the P comps were over 7k and even 8k. It’s just a big fat sigh at this point

 

Maybe verbally, idk, I've never met your aunt, but in writing, you are your father.

 

World of difference between a 65 and a 67 CAC. One is a pretty common coin, the other second highest with a CAC. I wouldn't pay it either, but understand what drives the difference. Its epeen cred, wanting "the best" registry set in a lot of ways. Good for those collectors, just not my cup of tea.

 

I was taught to focus on two aspects of a coin:

A) The Strike
B) The Die State

and that coin grading doesn't necessarly consider these aspects of coin grades until over an MS67. That being said, I still think that a population of coins at similar grades should be price pointed within the same range. When extreme price differences occurs, a lot of words are used circumspect of the coin, and I find that problematic. Even is a coin is undergraded, I think that 4x the price of a baseline is hard to justify.

OTOH, high priced MS70 grades are also, IMO, insane.

BTW - this is low price, I think, for a 65 which is why I dropped it into the conversation.
