It has been my experience that this grade/date for numerous reasons will outperform a common generic which has a significantly higher grade. If you were able to acquire the 2 dates recommended, in this linked grade, I would significantly wager that after a reasonable period your return on investment would exceed that of a common date MS66 Double Eagle.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Just my humble opinion, worth at least the amount paid.
