This collection will be sold before I am cold. The wife disapproves to the point that I have "gone underground" with the building of the set. The only thing she sees is grading fees, as I can't seem to get that over to the (top secret!)paypal account. So every time I send stuff to the graders it comes back on the credit card and I have to hear about it.
Maybe I can get a clandestine credit card . . . . that is a lot of trouble though.
Somehow, the cloak and dagger stuff makes it more fun!!
But back to the coin. kbbpll, the upgrade that I believe it deserves to "62" is not about money. $80.00 (Numismedia upgrade to MS62)is not going to kill me. It's the principle. I would like it in an MS62 PCGS holder. I believe that is where it belongs. But I am not going to crack it, as perhaps that is indeed rub, perhaps it is indeed AU. $80 is not going to kill me but $616 (downgrade to AU) would sure get my attention.
Anyhoo, I don't want to collect plastic, but it is a big part of the "game" now. And a 1932-D in PCGS MS62 plastic would be easier to sell, and for more money that a MS61 in ANACS plastic. And would go into a registry. And I don't like it, but I didn't make the rules.
So I can narrow my choices to three.
A; Keep it and love it.
B; Resubmit with a minimum grade of MS60 and give the graders some more money. Maybe they would bite, probably not.
C. Sell it and look for something better.
Leaning toward "A". But have not got "B" out of my mind just yet. And "C" is off the table at least for a while.
And you know what? I am worrying about this ENTIRELY too much. I have two kids that I should go
and I am worried about ANACS vs PCGS.
I gotta take a break. Go kayaking in my '32-S. Really, I scraped up enough dinero to buy a nice 32-S about a year ago and instead blew it on two kayaks!
Supposed to take them out Tuesday and see some Alligators and Bald Eagles. Last time we saw some Barred Owls. It is full on Spring in Louisiana!
