With these coins I paid nowhere near pcgs prices. I respect the fact that you like to buy only slabbed coins. We all like different things in this hobby. My grandpa passed two years ago. I finally found something to always remember him by. To me this is better than my money losing value in a bank. It was a rather modest inheritance. Lower grades work for me.
