Rare error but planchet flaw - opinions wanted
I have an opportunity to buy a very rare error coin in MS65 that is slabbed
by a well respected grading agency. The coin appears to in fact be a MS65 but the coin also has a noticeable planchet flaw. Considering the population of this coin in MS65 is only 18, I am tempted to buy this coin, especially given that it is slabbed 65, however, given the money I would have to spend and this flaw, I am hesitant at the same time. Auction records show this coin typically only comes to auction 1 time every year or two. Thoughts on what I should do would be appreciated. Thanks. Tempted and torn.... |

Yes, do you think that would help? How? Are some planchet flaws worse than
others? "Chris Simpson" wrote in message ... Can you show is a pic of it? logan wrote: I have an opportunity to buy a very rare error coin in MS65 that is slabbed by a well respected grading agency.

If it's an error who cares to much about the grade? If it's a variety, it depends how bad you think the planchet flaw is. And 18 as one services 65 doesn't sound like the coin would really be that rare. But it's tough to say when we don't know what the coin is. -- Ed. Stoebenau a #143 |
