Looks like a profitable "enterprise" as the cent cost him $764 and is already beyond $1,000. The dime is closing in on his purchase price if $1,351.
I seem to recall once reading about a heavily toned 1795 half or dollar, graded AU. The buyer cracked it out, dipped and resubmitted it. It came back from PCGS, graded MS-64 or MS-65 and then it sold for over $100,000. Does this one ring a bell to anyone? The buyer was a numismatic author.
