[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1760886, member: 15929"]The collector decides what is right for him/her and as such, they pay according to the amount they are willing to fork over for such a piece. Just because a coin sells for $400 on Monday does NOT mean that the same or a similar coin will sell for $400 on Tuesday. When I first looked at the photographs, my immediate thought was $150 which is what I "might" have been willing to pay. As for getting a TPG to slab it? TPG's will slab ANY kind of legitimate error coin. I know that PCGS charges a $55 grading fee along with a $8 handling fee. This particular coin would be a struck through and would possibly only command that $400 premium if it were part of a well established Kennedy Error coin collection. On the other hand, I don't believe that an error coin dealer would have bid $400 for the coin primarily because the coin most definitely would not sell for that amount again whether it was graded or not. But that's just my opinion. BTW, people buy Waffled Coins or for that matter, any other coin for two basic reasons. 1. They want them for a specific collection. 2. They believe they will be worth more money in the future. Reason 1 has no qualifications. Reason 2 has been known to bite people in the butt when they try to resell in the future.[/QUOTE]
