<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 186540, member: 2972&quot;]As others have pointed out, these coins are rare to be found fully struck on the reverse.&nbsp; However, the answer you your question &quot;What makes it so valuable?&quot; is a bit tougher to answer.&nbsp; Personally, I belive an inordinate amount of the value in these coins is artifical and tied to the fact that TPGs award a coin &quot;FB&quot; for the fully struck bands on the reverse, yet the obverse, or even other parts of the reverse could be flatly struck yet still be deemed to be &quot;FB&quot;.&nbsp; So in short, people are paying (IMO, ridiculous) premiums for a subjective opinion on the strike strength of a single feature on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said and IIRC, the 45-P is the toughest to find like this, so there is certainly be a premium for a fully struck specimen, I&#039;m just personally not comfortable with the amount of the premium...Mike</p><p><br /></p><p>[edited for clarity][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
