Talonbat Valued Member Canada 395 Posts	Posted 09/09/2016 6:41 pm Coin hunter really hit the nose on the head. Looks like a 65 just super ugly with no eye appeal. I prefer technical grading over market grading any day. Prices however are very different. Report this Post to the Staff

thrustie Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 09/13/2016 12:30 pm I guess it depends what your after. A blast white dipped coin that looks like a simoniz has been taken to it, or a natural coin with untouched fields and devices. Unfortunately many times the untouched coins have very unappealing toning/blemishes. Report this Post to the Staff

twoods Valued Member Canada 220 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 01:22 am I am starting to feel so bad about this coin I will probably buy it! ha Mostly kidding about bidding on the coin but it seems the concensus is that it is a bad coin...either way, hopefully for whoever buys it the fingerprint will be already discounted in the price, and possibly it sets a floor price to compare against other nicer looking 65s Also, I wanted to say it's a neat point mentioned earlier that some fingerprints lead to nice toning, let's hope this one continues to tone and somehow turns out nice one day.

TheCoinHunter Pillar of the Community Canada 1461 Posts	Posted 09/18/2016 12:17 pm True....The average for a 67 MS-65 has been $180-$220 lately. Trends at $450 which just shows you how how saturated the Canadian market is with common coins even in high grade. Saying that, I wouldn't be surprised of the 67 coins get a bit of a bump in 2017.
