Would you pay XF bid for a XF bust dollar in a VF slab?

Coin is in a early NGC slab which I more than likely will keep it in. Coin is original with the perfect look.

    Yes, of course.
    There is no "AT" or "NT". We only have "market acceptable" or "not market acceptable.

    I dont own the coin yet. I put in the bid and the owner is considering it. It has not seen the light of day for 20 years - looks like it just came back from NGC but in an old slab

    I'd have to see the coin to make a judgment.

    image.......No...The grading of circulated coins have not changed much over the years,IMO. Uncirulated grades have loosened up from the past,so they may have it right. It could be a just miss(XF40) . Unless a big error from grading firm, I know series, and am "comfortable" with my grading skills, I would pass.

    Good chance it was netted down for some minor problem that isn't yet apparent to you.

    I agree with the net grade hypothesis rather than misgraded

    We're now grading slabs? I thought we were collecting coins.

    is greysheet still a complete joke and seemingly clueless when it comes to early original material?

    If you're confident with your grading skills...

    Buy the coin... not the plastic.

    I'd have to see the coin in hand. I have seen what imo are many problem Bust $s which have been net graded and slabbed. Then you have to deal with sending it in I don't know how many times and see if the TPG graders agree with you. As a matter of first impression, I'd pass.

    I've passed on nice Unc. type coins offered to me back of bid because I didn't want to fall into the chasm of the difference between NGC and PCGS grading standards. Whether you agree with this or not, they definitely exist.

    Sure.

    I like to think my Bustie in VF-35 is better than that miserous grade assigned to it by a TPG that will remain anonymous. It is far more attractive in original toning than 99% of the others I have seen of that date.

    Would you be happy with the price paid today if you found a just as nice of XF coin in a XF holder tomorrow for the same bid price?
    And yes most of us have over paid for a few coins along the way.

    Agree. Also, when it comes time to sell, expect an offer of 10% back of VF greysheet bid.

    Actually, yes. The coin wouldn't still be in that VF holder anyway. (nor would the coin in the XF holder if I had waited)
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.
