But ....
Chances are no ...
But it doesn't cost anything to look.

The auction prices could all be prior to, say, 2004, so I would not dismiss it without further study.

If you're looking at above-average coins, average prices may be of little importance.
As with most overly-generalized questions, the answer "depends".

Probably would look at it. I would hope that 12 grand buys something at least somewhat rare. If I'm so heavily interested in the issue that I know the average auction price, I'd want to see as many examples as possible.
Doesn't mean I'd want to buy it, but looking doesn't hurt.

wow
64 to 66+ to 67
quite a difference in a 64 coin to 67 coin
was this dipped/restored/conserved or something in between ?
is the 67 to get a bean next?
could you imagine being the one who sold it in the 64 holder to see it in a 67 holder now

Yes!
But only from a 64 to a 66....

If those upgrades were in the past 5 years I wouldn't go out of my way to look at this. The low hanging fruit is likely picked. But, never say never with grading. I cannot think of any coins I looked at in the 1987-1990
coin market that were 64's back then, and are in 67 holders today.....never mind wanting to own such a coin today at the higher price. A 2 point grade shift is about the largest I have seen in gem bust, barber, seated type coins. The majority have moved up at most 1 point or no points. A 64.9 from 1988 does have a shot at making 67.0 today....but very rare to do so in gem silver type.

That's still an incredible swing for gem unc seated dollars as they experienced some of the smallest gradeflation among all choice/gem us silver type coins. An MS65 back in 1988 was a whale of a coin. And a PCGS MS65 today
is still a whale of a coin. That's hard to say for a lot of other series. Most of the PCGS MS66's in holders today were MS65's 25 years ago. 64 to 66 is quite a jump. But if the coin were a 64.9, a jump to 67.0 is still basically
2 pts. I'm not aware of any MS64 seated coins from the 1988-1990 market that have gone up to MS67. No doubt there are some. And very unusual. Could be a monster toner that had one minute facial hairline that was
verboten in 1988. Today a facial hairline might only keep a coin from a MS68 grade if it was wonderful in all other aspects. Wonder how long that 1871 seated dollar stayed in a 64 holder for?????
Hoard the keys.

Not necessarily, more based where they're at with experience. There are a few who make large purchases just for the registry points. They could care less about the quality of the coin or the lack of knowing. My last two buyers of 5 and 4 figure coins, had their wits about them. They were very knowledgeable.
