[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4644988, member: 26302"]Your opinions sir. I also know early US fairly well, owning all of the types save for the small eagle halves and quarters, (not the gold though). I am not some newbie to US coins. I could care less about the slab, as most here know my position on them. I do know rarity, and how any early US in that condition is not a common piece.
