<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1463955, member: 26302&quot;]Not trying to get in the middle of this, but Buddy you asked for people&#039;s advice, experienced numismatists gave it to you, and you dismissed it. You made the statement how opinions had to be backed up with facts. They were giving you facts, what their pay price would be, or what they have bought similar for. There are no other &quot;facts&quot; in coin collecting really. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can point to Ebay, but have you accounted for the fees? Dealers need to sell for more there to break even with selling in person.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I find the coin to be downgraded to a VG due to the dull, overcleaned surfaces. I believe it would go for more than melt, and a dealer should pay you a little more than melt, but that opinion is just that, an opinion. With a problem coin like this, no price guide, (and they tend to be too high to begin with), helps since problem coins frequently sell for half cat or less every day. There simply is no &quot;proof&quot; sir.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, I can buy problem free circulated barbers for melt, and a problem SL coin for not much more, and for melt if too worn. It could be a function of where you are looking. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For my own background, just so you may evaluate its efficacy, I have collected coins for about 35 years now, (first 20 US coins only). Also, I have my grad degree as well, (taught it actually). I simply don&#039;t see how it applies. I will trust a HS grad with 50 years expertise in dealing coins more than 100 newly minted MS, MA, or MBA holders. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
