Amazing. I would have snapped that beauty up in a heartbeat. :)
Nobody's going to CT the box when it's way easier to carefully open and reseal it.
I love this group! I especially dig the '58 half and the cent. I think the half dime will straight grade: those scratches are probably barely...
Wisdom is frequently the result of being stupid a lot of times. :P
I think this is perfectly valid logic to use with a collection of half cents and large cents. With a collection of Lincolns, liquidity may be a...
Option 3: put your raw coins into Coin World slabs and make a new display. :)

PMD... "PRE-minting damage"!
I always thought the 20 part was more important than the "box" part in the "box of 20" concept. Sure, the concept started because slab boxes...
My limit would be more like 200. :P Actually, probably more like 2000, lol. :)
