Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 05/26/2009 12:01 am I've noticed that there are many better-date coins which are costly in lower grades but the price does not increase very quickly as you go up the grade scale. By the time you get up to mint state they aren't all that much more expensive than common-date examples. Some of the Carson City Morgan dollars fall into this category, as does the 1913-S dime. When I made up my mind to buy one I was able to find this PCGS-certified coin graded MS-64. At $850 it was about 5X the cost of a VF example and less than double the price of a choice AU. I'm not sure my strategy is correct but I'm glad now that I held out for the higher-grade coin. Report this Post to the Staff
TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 05/26/2009 12:38 pm Jaobler I agree with your comments, very astute. And that '13 S is very pretty, along with the clashed die (on the reverse). A definite 'thumbs up'. Edited by TreasHunt 06/09/2009 3:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/26/2009 2:33 pm Buying the best coin you can afford and following the Optimal Collecting Grade philosophy made that MS64 a good buy at $850. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 06/09/2009 3:48 pm wheezydog: Nah, not inverted. If you look at the S, the top right is slightly smaller than the bottom left. But, a nice thought. Report this Post to the Staff
