Today as my day started I was discouraged and decided to take a drive to a coin shop that opened up near me. Well when I walked in I was mesmerized by the beauty, organization and the kindness of the staff. I even got a handshake by the owner who was patient and Courteous.

I would of bought more but with current job status had to limit my adds.

Here are the 2 coins I purchased and no haggling price is on display and worth what you get.

1853 $1

1903-s $5

Let me know your thoughts

By the way even the Logo is awesome

    $5G MS62

    They are both VERY pretty coins. I came into the thread late, but I would've guessed a point higher on each.

    Everything in the shop is top for grade and worth the price no games. Top shop. I would add them to your trip next time in Florida. They are Top notch honest. Best I have found.

    Very nice coins and great to find a coin shop as you described. Cheers, RickO

  • blitzdudeblitzdude Posts: 6,324 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Late as well, I would have said 63 on the $1 and 64 on the $5. That 03-s is SEVERELY under-graded.

    No worthwhile coin shops up here, just a bunch of snakes. Congrats!

    I'd say the OP has a pretty good "eye" for quality. I would have guessed 64, and 62+63 range. I don't see any "rub" on either coin and they both look "original."

  • kazkaz Posts: 9,235 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice looking coins and great you found a friendly shop. I thought they would both grade about 63, that HE is really nice!!

    John's a good guy... I worked with him when he was starting up ModernCoinMart almost 15 years ago.

    Both coins look excellent for the assigned grade, and probably deserve better. So pick the one you like the most, crack it, and resubmit. Probably not a HUGE increase in value, but an endorsement of your good taste........PRICELESS.

    I trust the eyes of the grading companies and Mr. Maben, regarding the potential of any meaningful upgrades.

    The value of the OGH is higher than a one point upgrade, would not be a smart move.

    While I probably wouldn't re-grade the coins, a one point difference in value for the gold dollar would be in excess of $100.

    And by the time you back out the cost of regrading it the value of the upgrade is washed out. I would send to CAC and hope for a gold bean before I'd regrade, cheaper and an even greater value bump.

    As you posted, not worth the extra money for a "try" at an upgrade. The coins are either accurately graded or under-graded. In which case the will sell themselves when the time comes and their owner can can start the price higher than the grade on the slab. Let the new buyer go for the upgrade. Gradeflation is on the side of the present owner.

    I saved my money for past couple years knowing what was coming on job front and am selling off the odds and ends to consolidate and strengthen my collection. It will take time but this is my strategy at the moment.

    I’m confident I will find another job at some point. For now it’s strategic moves with my collection while I have the time.
