iontyre Valued Member United States 269 Posts	Posted 01/18/2019 1:21 pm Wow. Than my 1911D is at least AU, I haven't gotten it graded since I thought it was only a VF or maybe EF, but it is way more detailed than the coin here. Might actually get me $2000 or so. Report this Post to the Staff
eternallogan Valued Member Canada 314 Posts	Posted 01/18/2019 2:31 pm Wow that's a lot! This is the most I've paid for a coin (college budget). But after reading the recent comments, I'm seriously considering flipping it. Tbh I thought it was overgraded as well...just not 25 points overgraded Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/18/2019 4:47 pm I my first response in this thread, I admitted that I may be liable to make a grading mistake. It is very interesting to read the hindsight comments after the slab grading was revealed. I happen to agree with most of those hindsight comments. There is a little more of a lesson be be taken this story. If you get back a very generous slab grading, it may be well worth a 'try on' to sell the slabbed piece, and if you are lucky, for a decent profit. Moral (often quoted): "Buy the coin, not the slab".

Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 01/19/2019 01:30 am Thanks for image. Yea tough one. Even if there was oil in the strike it seems more like rub then weakness. I still think its overgraded. The color is nice but since you paid just a hair over melt its not the worst thing in the world. But yeah may wanna sell it and add a buck or two and get a nicer example./ Report this Post to the Staff

eternallogan Valued Member Canada 314 Posts	Posted 01/19/2019 02:34 am I would've bought it for the price I paid even if the slab had read XF40, so I'm not in tears over it. I'm more interested in getting to the bottom of how it could have been THAT overgraded; has anyone seen a worse example from NGC? Report this Post to the Staff
