    Garlicus Debt is dumb, cash is king.

    Good deal on the 1991.

    The 2018, in my opinion, is a $19-20 coin in an $18 holder. I am not trying to disparage you, as you may collect whatever makes you happy, but considering the 2018 is a currently available bullion coin (the official collector's version was just released on Thursday), and you are on a tight budget, I would have passed on the slabbed bullion.

    Again, collect what you like. It's your money and your happiness. I am just noting what I see in the Silver Eagle category and how I approach them. There are threads on Coin Talk that discuss this, feel free to read them for other's opinion on these.

    P.S. - When I started collecting Silver Eagles, I made the 'mistake' of purchasing them in slabs. Also, I have a slightly different view on Gold Eagles, which is that a coin graded by PCGS or NGC close to spot price would be what I would purchase, as it would give myself and the person that I or my heirs will sell it to, some assurance of authenticity.

    Double Die I know just enough to be dangerous

    The 2018-03-25 11.36.39.jpg one I'm most proud of is this 82D Large Date Copper that was in a bulk lot at an estate sale. This was in a set for the Denver Mint for the year. Every angle shows a different spectrum of colors along with being a one sided woodie. With everything that was included in the lot, this worked out to about 49 cents.

    What is so special about this 1945 Mercury Dime?

    Nothing. It's the holder. Short-lived PCGS doily holder. They are popular and known for holding conservatively graded coins.

    Let's just say that if he wanted to sell it, he could put a 1 in front of the price he paid. That holder is very collectible. :)
