Title: My new side-grade
Post by: Fr45h3R on February 14, 2013, 06:02:54 PM
Hi All,
I took a chance on this one at the Roxbury Auction.
It was advertised as Red and Brown, PCGS MS64, they didn't note the colour. I should have asked before I bid but I did bid quite late.
Turned out it was a BN, and since I already have an MS64BN I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be a great coin, way better than my existing one.

Nice coin. Pretty good strike. The better 1952s i have are badly struck on the obverse.

I'm very happy with it. The one it replaced is on eBay now.

The blue sheet value for this coin seems extremely high.

I think for an RB coin, it may get close to that value. For a BN coin it would depend on the coin.
At the end of the day the price for any coin will settle on what 2 people think it is worth.

Yes that's correct, the MS64BN is worth considerably less.
