(Edited and corrected), thanks Kirk. You're right and it's late. The coin is a key date and therefore is saleable, but this coin is the...
I believe the 2015 is gold
The toning is not spectacularly attractive and as such won't command a huge premium. JHMO
It should be interesting as the only other source of the S-mint SAE is the congratulations set which sold out almost instantaneously. If you want...
I would almost always select the original note. It's easier to sell when the time comes (even if I'm dead and it's my heirs, that day always comes).

I'll make it easy. No it's not the big money 1955/55 doubled die. Do a google search. It's not even close. The big 55/55 is easy to spot. In...
If it is scratched, it won't straight grade. Chances are that the price in a details slab will not justify the cost of grading.
at least none known at this time ;)
That's not necessarily a good criterion for slabbing. Generally, I have learned that if the value of a coin is higher when graded than it is raw...
