ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 11/03/2010 01:26 am No net grading... humbug! Anyway, we all agree it is a nice piece. As for a value, I sell VF-30 Bust dollars at $2800. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 11/03/2010 05:19 am PCGS is known for being tough but VF30! I would resubmit this coin. I remember submitting to PCGS 20 years ago when they graded coins semi-accurately. They must have new graders with 5 years collecting and grading experience tops. Seems like it to me at least. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
Pandesalapi Valued Member Philippines 386 Posts	Posted 11/03/2010 06:07 am Whew, your coin is much nicer than a mere VF. It would easily fetch EF if not AU. All is gain in resubmitting it to PCGS. Nothing to loose... Report this Post to the Staff
Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 753 Posts	Posted 11/03/2010 1:00 pm Vermontensium and Pandesalapi: Thanks for your advice. I would fear that this time PCGS may actually put it in a "Genuine" slab though. Is this the kind of coin that we might want to bear the scarlet letter of a "Genuine" slab? (I am asking the question sincerely, not trying to mock anyone) Report this Post to the Staff

(I am asking the question sincerely, not trying to mock anyone) I'd keep that coin right where it is, tucked inside it's sweet little problem-free, VF30 holder. Sure it's got EF/AU details but it does have some issues too. VF30 is the price PCGS thought it was worth. Not the technical grade. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
canadanz Valued Member United States 273 Posts	Posted 11/03/2010 5:20 pm Leave that coin right where it is. Do NOT resubmit to PCGS! And I can't really tell you where to value it. You'd definitely pull stronger than usual VF-30 money, maybe VF-35 money ... and if you were luck get close to XF money. The details are definitely there, but as stated above, this coin does have it's problems so a resubmission would be a bad idea. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 11/05/2010 03:44 am I would have to agree with bherring1964 and canadanz after reflecting a second time Adam590. It would be much wiser keeping it in that problem free slab for now. The benefits of keeping it in that holder, albeit undergraded IMO, outweigh the risks of resubmitting only to have PCGS throw it in a problem slab. Do those marks on the obverse warrant it being put in a "Genuine" holder? What side of the bed did the graders wake up on this morning? I stand corrected on this one ;-) swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
