However, it's hard to make a comparison because the value spread is extremely narrow from XF-40 up to about MS-62. In reality $350 would have been a fair price for an XF-45 in my mind, and that is what I made my decision based on. If PCGS had overgraded it, it wouldn't have made much difference value wise. But your right, I did take a chance and it wasn't the smartest moment of my life I admit. At the same time, it couldn't have hurt me that bad. Looking back though, I'm glad I did...this coin is one of the prettiest gold coins in my collection and one that I doubt I will ever upgrade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
