It's not a big deal from what I've seen in regards to the price. But it is certainly cooler to have the entire package.
Welcome to the thread! That was the first coin and we are now on the gold coin posted on page 54 of this thread.
The fields aren't black though. They are highly reflective and that makes it appear black. This is the case with many proof coins (both old and...
Interesting that this was listed by a big time dealer that many people would probably recognize and vouch for. In the description of the listing...
It's a cool slab and most of the info has been shared already in this thread. The slabs also came with the certificate (as mentioned on the...
It's mostly the angle of the photo for a proof coin. And I've seen it on photos of older gold [IMG] [IMG]

Since it's Guess the Grade season, I'm jumping on the bandwagon. :D Please guess and use the poll as well. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
MS 66
I agree completely! I've made plenty of exceptions in my collecting and that is the beauty of an "eclectic" set.
That's another cool one, but right in the middle at 5 for me (I prefer to have pictorial imagery in most cases).
Classic coin with a nice CircCam that warrants a 7 on my scale
I went with 8 ....attractive overall with pleasant color.
If it's for your collection, then I wouldn't consider liquidity as high of a factor. As for selling online, that can present difficulties too....
