    Here’s a coin that I bought late last year, graded by PCGS in MS-64 FBL. Only 3 left to go to have the set graded like this one. The coin has a few marks.

    Sounds like we're both doing a set. I had an ungraded set of all MS in an album I sold a few years back for $600. The album was probably worth 10% of it. (Melt value would be $1020 now)

    Now I'm getting another set together but this is a graded registry set. It's unbelievable how affordable graded 63-65 FBL examples are across this series. I just gave $60 shipped for a 54, MS64FBL. And there's a huge selection to look through to cherry pick higher quality ones.

    This series falls in a numismatic sweet spot where it was old enough to be 90% silver, and recent enough to have been saved in large quantities. This is a set that will be pushed by the tail winds of melt value in coming years.

    Considering it's $25 minimum to get them in a slab plus all the other fees and shipping, any MS, FBL example under $100 seems like a bargain to me. The bare melt value's $29 right now. They're just in abundance and I'm not complaining. The luster on some of them is just crazy. I think it's an under appreciated series.
