No but here is an interesting one, this coin was on e-bay July 2nd not into fingerprints on my Franklins... Decided to make an offer, in the time I made the offer someone made a better offer / better offer was accepted...needed coin for my set ticked had chance to do BIN hesitated lost out...the coin came back my way + 35.00 from what I could have had it for in the first place...taking a chance I can get past the fingerprints...is MS 66...Franklins are dead...yet I continue to fill the void...

Received e-mail back this morning with an asking price of $1000.00 for the 1962 MS 65 Rattler
a $95.00 (PCGS price guide coin) he wants a grand for no guarantee if dosen`t upgrade, just thinks it has a shot...
I wouldn`t have cracked it out anyway...
Franklins are in the toilet, the coin is no MS 66, and not FBLs and at best would grade the same MS 65
dealers that deal this way are scum bags to me, no matter what anyone has to say positive about them...

<< <i><< Take the PCGS price guide cut it in half then deduct another 10% will give you what most coins are selling for now, >>
Maybe for modern widgets, but not for classic material. I would *love* to buy slabbed half cents and large cents using your formula... >>
Franklins are probably the ONLY series this formula works almost all the time at least now....

<< <i>In this case, the holder meant everything!
And lets not kid ourselves, dollar for dollar, especially for modern coinage, PCGS holders bring way more than NGC or ANACS holders.
I have no explanation as to why, I can just see that they do. >>
I agree, but I can think of a few reasons why this is so, but the main reason is:
Most collectors do not know how to grade.
"“Those who sacrifice liberty for security/safety deserve neither.“(Benjamin Franklin)
"I only golf on days that end in 'Y'" (DE59)
Most collectors do not know how to grade.
.........you could even go further : very few dealers know how to grade
in fact - there are probably only a big fistfull of World Class graders in the whole world

search out a new one - nicer, .....better , .......and at a fair price
and let that anger go
easy to say ; harder to do
<< <i>best to walk away from that deal -

I had some stunners , full blown Rainbow MS-66 early D mints - but the prints never go away .....they just become more
and more troublesome .
If your happy with it -that would be what counts - but for my money ; no dice

<< <i>i thought I remembered you hated fingerprints >>
I do, prints maybe light enough to "see past"...coin sent on approval...
Interesting thing fingerprints...sometimes getting worse over the years...
Sometimes light enough they dont slap you upside the head...mostly concerned with one
obverse front of / on his face....for the most part not as bad as some I have seen...
In hand will tell....
