It would be foolish to say your are right or wrong since every
collector behind his own collection works it in different ways in
terms of their buying, selling & trading habits ... I am sure with a
piece like this you AT LEAST made a monetary equivalent transaction.
This reminds me again (somewhat) of the EAC'er Dennis Loring ... I
recall who use to revolve and still does? six figures ($$$) with
condition census LC's after a couple of weeks of ownership - his
strategy & reasoning - so that he can own and view AS MANY top CC
large cent rarities as possible within a given lifetime - not a bad
strategy?
