mlgdave Valued Member 100 Posts	Posted 11/17/2013 05:36 am its graded as MS64FB - The bands are full and distinct, the obverse has no scuffs, nicks, scratches etc. I am trying to find a comparable on ebay to figure out how much to post it for Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18654 Posts	Posted 11/17/2013 11:14 am what a shame. probably would grade at MS65 FSB details. looks like the coin was improperly stored at one time. Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 11/17/2013 11:42 am Look on ha and tele trade for price comparisons. It seems avg. ms64 FB this year is around $150 on auctions. Chances of your coin selling on a BIN OBO on the bay are slim to none unless you offer it under price guides. Auction ebay is your best bet, no reserve and you could see $120 IMO. As far as eye appeal, it will not attract as many as a blast white or colorful toner would. I know this all reads negative but its probably the reality of the market especially on ebay Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 11/17/2013 4:02 pm It wouldn't affect the technical grade but really it would still be negative eye appeal and will affect the price. It also means that the grader may have tried to grade it technically but the toning has caused him to undergrade it. That said I agree with the grade on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
FadeToBlack Pillar of the Community 1751 Posts	Posted 11/17/2013 6:58 pm Boderline terminal toning, I wouldn't mess with it if it's been stabilized. Shame. If it affects the luster, it affects the grade, since grades on Mercs are highly dependent on luster. Edited by FadeToBlack 11/17/2013 6:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
