<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 8371615, member: 116145"]I have the same question - I picked this up (raw) for a bit more than $100. I was hoping it would grade a bit higher actually. I've been trying to move my SLQ collection to straight higher graded examples (started out as a low grade Whitman album set). Though I don't have an issue with most Details coins, they don't usually sell at a premium - in fact I like them because they make rarer coins affordable to me in general. What are we missing about this one? Would this be a candidate for cracking out, toning a bit on the shelf in the sun and resubmitting for a straight MS grade? I haven't tried that, but I've heard it can work. I'm sometimes suspicious of "private-bidder" auctions like this one, I think it makes shill bidding easier, but I still feel like I'm not seeing something here - $1275? It does appear to be a good candidate for Full Head designation.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1485584[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1485585[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
