<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1747582, member: 36230&quot;]Proofs are tough enough with good photos, so it is going to be hard for anyone to give a meaningful grade opinion using these images; you might as well just reveal the assigned grade. It is in PCGS plastic, so regardless of what anyone here may say, this is going to be the major determiner of value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for color and paying any sort of premium for it, I am not seeing anything that makes me believe this is <i>that</i> special, but obviously I&#039;ve not seen it in-hand. While not at all a fan of white coins from this era, for a coin, particularly a proof, to command a toning premium, in my opinion it needs to have exceptional eye-appeal and rest only on natural, undisturbed surfaces.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for a reasonable retail value, may I ask what &quot;list&quot; is to this dealer? Locally we&#039;ve a B&amp;M who considers this to be straight red book, and another wants straight trends, while others generally base prices off of CDN, so generic &quot;list&quot; can clearly have many different meanings.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Finally, if this dealer is willing to let you make payments over a three month period, chances are that he is not going to allow you much if any bargaining room. This is often the cost of a lay-away option, and little is more frustrating than offering to work with a customer who wants to cash negotiate when the offer is tying money up for months. Not that you would do this, but just something to keep in mind. It is obvious you like the coin and I am sure it would make a fine addition, so hopefully all with work out for you. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
