PF69 is selling for about $70 on Amazon, PF70 certified is selling for $300.

Yeah, it looks like that's what I'm seeing. I just don't have the knowledge to tell the difference between the two. I'd sell the thing if I thought I could get $300 for it, but I'm not willing to spend $30-40 to find out. :-(

Thanks to all who responded. FR is a great resource.

Welcome to the coin market. The only way it really works out is if you're a coin shop and you're having a hundred or more coins graded at a shot; price drops dramatically per coin, and the maybe 10% that will be of the higher grade justifies the cost.

An individual getting a single coin graded? If you think about it, overall labor in handling that coin from receiving it, to keeping it identified as to the owner, to making sure it gets back to the owner (and not mixed with another coin) - that $30-$40 is likely losing money for the grading company.
