<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MercuryBen, post: 2871575, member: 44521&quot;]ok fine, the most recent sale in PR68DCAM was $3290.&nbsp; After preservation and cert costs, OP would save a few hundred bucks for a huge risk on a corroded coin. Even if the coin is able to be properly preserved, it may only grade PR67, who knows?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your point on not using auction results as guidance on value, I respectfully disagree.&nbsp; Value = what people are willing to pay for a coin.&nbsp; Obviously when doing your auction research you have to account for dogs, undergraded coins, eye appeal, etc., but auctions are the definitive metric for what people are willing to pay for a coin.&nbsp; In this particular case, your point may be valid -- the coin that sold most recently very well may be a dog.&nbsp; I am not an expert in Lincolns (or in any coppers) and am not qualified to opine one way or another on the accuracy of the grade, particularly on a coin housed in a scratched up holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
