Nope. I have coins that cost me less and I like them just as much(if not more) as coins that cost me hundreds more.
If you sign up you can go into the auction and there is a link that says something "see prices at other grades". I use that and look at the coins...
I agree..about the only thing I say at my local dealer is that I could buy some of their cheaper coins and sell them on ebay for a profit. I enjoy...
Thanks - interesting. Something to think about.

Congrats! How about a picture - I finally found one earlier this year, but it only took me a year to find it. Now when ever I go to the back I...

Gotcha ....but I don't own one of those coins yet. But one day I will.:)
Here is one link - http://www.jpscorner.com/Eagle_Slab_Certified_Coin_Proof_Mint_Set_Albums.htm#Slab_Albums. I have specifically for IHC's that I...
Eagle albums has one for slabs. Let me see if I can find a link.
