The price has really gone up

Hi everyone. I was following tonight's Heritage Coin Auction Live and follow this particular coin the NGC MS68RD 1983 Double Die Reverse. NGC only grades 9 at this level with none higher. It is one of the biggies in a Lincoln Memorial registry set. The last example that sold at a major auction is the example I own now. To be honest I bought my example from the person who had bought it from Heritage and had it in his collection for a few years until I bought it about July last year. I did pay a little more than what the original buyer bought it for but not nearly as much as the example that sold tonight for $6000 and with buyers premium add on another $900. So now this example is at $6900 before tax and shipping. Yes it is a necessary coin for your set but you still have to be smart with you money. I will leave you with a picture of the reverse from my coin and then on the chat boards and picture of the one from tonight's Heritage Auction
