[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2104245, member: 15929"]I do as well and I sit here asking myself: "Why?" The only reasonable answer I come up with is: Simply to have some type of Goal. I used t have the same goal with regard to Mint and Proof Sets but after losing a great deal of money in that pursuit, decided to give up on it since it was just a loser. In short, I got tired of throwing money at the US Mint whose only upside was the possibility of receiving some type of error in what was sent. As for the OP's coin? Yes. It's an ICG MS70 which is considered by most, on a pricing level, to be less desirable than the same MS70 coin in a PCGS Holder. Hopefully, he didn't spend PCGS money for an ICG product. Back story? Tidbits? Unfortunately there are none. It's just another coin in a long line of high quality, 90% Silver Commemorative Coins that ultimately will only be worth their bullion value due to their abundance in the market place. It'll be several lifetimes before that value ever escalates.[/QUOTE]
