What's the current price point on the crown? I remember browsing years ago and getting a bit scared of some of the asking prices I saw on Ebay!
Hmm, ok; MS-64. Probably wildly off base here, but apart from the G-4 1867 with rays in my type set, I've never really dealt with this series much.
I have never understood the willingness of some to fork over astronomical sums for lowball sets; then again, where there's a buyer, there will be...

1882 Italy 20 Lire.
Excellent value, particularly for a scarcer CC.
I did the same thing when I finished my Washington quarter set; couldn't find a reasonably priced example of the 1958 in decent shape, so went...
Keep it up!
When faced with a choice between a slab or an additional coin purchase, I'd go with the coin.

I love these coins; only downside is the lower silver content than the pre-1967 pieces.
For my private use, Excel.
No, no, no, NO. That coin is gorgeous as is. Leave it be!
I don't have a picture, but I almost nabbed a Japanese Trade Dollar that had been used in jewelry.
I think that the AGE series has had denominations since 1987; $50, 25, 10, and 5 respectively.
