@Johndoe2000$ can you pass over the popcorn?
People do collect sample slabs and some are quite rare (a regency sample was several thousand). Some also do sets of sample slabs (by year, by...

Are you asking about the 1995-W? Either way (I'd say this applies to most low mintage coins), I think the price was mainly due to collectors...
The 1995-W Set included 4 gold eagles (1, 1/2, 1/4, and 1/10 Oz) along with the Silver Eagle. The price was $999....

@Lehigh96 based on the results, would you say the grading standards for Nickels are just as consistent as you’ve mentioned in the past? Is this...
66+...this one is almost on par with the other untoned 1938 (although that one looked a tad cleaner and more lustrous to me, hence the 67 guess...
I guessed 65+...there are some ticks throughout, but the design mainly covers them up (not as prominent as it would be on some coins); there is...
