TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4868 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 1:52 pm I have been looking at the 1973 Large Bust quarter for a long while now on ebay. I am not sure the best way to go here, buy it slabbed by ICCS PL66, OR buy it significantly cheaper in a PL set? Pros and Cons please and thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 4:19 pm If your least expensive option is an intact set then go for it. IMO large busts are overpriced in PL and SP, just look how many intact sets are for sale on ebay, only a fraction have been certified. On the other hand, how often do you see a raw MS large bust for sale, they've pretty much all been slabbed, they are true scarcities. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4868 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 09:00 am I'm really on the fence on this one. On one hand I like the lower price on the PL set. On the other hand I like the fact the slabbed one had already been certified. I'm pretty sure slabbing a coin on my own would be rather pricey. I'd most likely cut the coin out of the set. Ideally I would prefer a MS coin over a PL coin but I'm pretty sure that isn't going to happen. Don't have that kind of finance. Report this Post to the Staff
GMS5 Pillar of the Community Canada 1527 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 11:02 am I would buy The PL set if it's cheaper and cut the coin from the set and grade it. I got very lucky myself after searching the wilds for this quarter over the last 35 plus years. I purchased a PL small bust version on E-bay for $6.95 including shipping and the seller sent me the Large Bust PL version instead. I then had PCGS grade it. Report this Post to the Staff
chadcoins Pillar of the Community Canada 1159 Posts	Posted 03/06/2018 10:09 am Take DBMs advice, Get a MS strike instead, a AU50 is way scarcer than a PL66 and much easier to resell. Report this Post to the Staff
