Grade vs Desirability

Post by SilverToken » Sun Jan 08, 2023 2:08 pm

Scenario-

You are at a coin show/ swap meet and have no access to an atm or credit card. There is $130. USD in your pocket.

You find a raw 1891-P 2A LDS Mustache for $50, Probably a EF-40-45. You also find a raw 1891-P 2A Mustache EDS for $130, Probably an AU-50. You only have enough to buy one...

Which one would you buy?

Buy the actual VAM 2A. There's no premium for the EDS of that break.

Thanks for the feedback. always interesting about values when it comes to cool factor.

Oh yeah, the street tacos and churros tasted really good on the way out!
