    I've seen a couple of these around and I believe the local coin shop has one up for sale. PCGS Cents.jpg
    What would you feel is a good price for something like this. I know it's subjective, and if someone likes it then it is up to them what to pay. I also understand that something is only worth what someone else will pay for it.
    I've not done a lot with slabbed coins, and these multi coin slabs have caught my eye a couple times. Thanks.

    PCGS Price guide lists all 4 coins at $80 ($20 each)

    NGC made those, too. They are kind of cool. I've got a NGC one in PF70UC.

    I'm pretty sure the one at the coin shop is a PF69 somewhere in the $40 range.
    Would you say it is more collectable to have all 4 together than it is to have 4 seperate? Might look into this since I've seen some on ebay as well.

    I don't know. I kind of like them, but I can't speak for anyone but myself.
    If you like it at $40, buy it. If not, don't. Your call.

    Anyone bought or sold one of these recently. If so, what price was it? Thanks!

    it's that simple. if you like them (I do) then buy them. about 1/2 the pcgs price guide seems to be about the going rate for most coins.

    The coins in the set are not worth $20.00 and I wouldn't pay that much for them. They come in a multi-holder from the mint anyway.

    I agree that the multi-holder from PCGS is nicer than the one from the mint, my state quarter sets are in them, but you shouldn't pay the grading fees of someone trying to score a 70 set.

    Buy the coins, not the holder.

    that brings up a good point. I was originally attracted to the PCGS holder, but since I'm collecting the silver proof sets these cents will be in their own holder in that year's set.
    Thanks!

    Yeah, I had that auction saved, but since the 2009 set is the next silver set to buy on my list, I'm just going to spend the $30 more and get the complete S Silver Proof set instead of spending that kind of money for just the cents because they are in a PCGS container.
    The younger me would have bought the PCGS set as an impulse buy, but the complete S Silver Proof set make more cents (hahahaha).
