An example of a coin that is a definite grade guarantee candidate.
This coin is listed in the Heritage auction right now:


What an absolutely amazing obverse - at the very top of the contrast scale for these. But, also, what a disaster. Nonetheless, I'd guess it'll still bring at least $1500 for the grade on the holder. At least with PCGS, the buyer is protected. Sure makes me sad seeing one that strong that has turned so badly, though.

Ben,
Look at all the brown spotting in the fields on the reverse.
<< <i>Russ, does this happen very often in PCGS holders? >>
No, not really. Very small percentage.

<< <i>A prime example of why older geen holders have one added plus for sure... >>
The holder this one is in is at least two years old maybe more.

It looks like I was a little conservative. It's already up to $2127.50 with five days to go.

Which is why I like the old greenies ~ you can pretty much know it isn't going to change if it sat in the holder for several years...
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
