The problem is that nobody in their right mind would pay NGC or PCGS prices for a PCI graded coin which is why I asked the OP what he paid for the...
Heath, Don't take this the wrong way. Buying that coin is crazy. If it is not fake, it is most certainly a problem coin. If you are planning...
If you are looking for a $1,500-$2,000 signature coin and are entertaining the idea of including moderns, I think you should consider a 2009 Ultra...
