<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1282588, member: 29751&quot;]No offense guys, but for $400 I could have had an MS68 common date in one of the recent Heritage auctions.&nbsp; You can keep your &quot;key date&quot; quasi-cull and bicker between the AG03 and G04 grades... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I guess that&#039;s the difference between a type-set collector for quality, and a key-date type set collector (or series collector).</p><p><br /></p><p>One observation I will make on this thread and the commentary though:&nbsp; people are still brainwashed into believing there is something magical about PCGS and that NGC is wrought with overgrading.&nbsp; However, when the grade was revealed the song and dance changed -- Now NGC had possibly under-graded the coin and it should be sent to PCGS.&nbsp; Come on guys, really?&nbsp; The slab means that someone who knows a decent amount about coins thought the grade was correct, and likely another verifier and a finalizer were okay with that grade.&nbsp; In effect, the grade is still a <i>subjective agreement of the graders</i> at <i>a particular company</i> on <i>a particular day</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>To the OP, I think you got a decent looking key-date coin for a reasonable price.&nbsp; I would leave it in the NGC holder and enjoy it as part of your collection.&nbsp; If you intend to sell it for some reason, and want to take a gamble, you could try getting it upgraded to a G04 and making possibly $50-$100 on the sale (after accounting for all the grief of resubmitting it).</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my 2cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
