(And in a prong-free holder, which is a plus for photography.)&nbsp; The upgrade cost me my old coin plus 75 bucks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had paid $2K for the old coin a few years ago, so having a total of $2,085 in the new coin is nice ($2,000 original investment + $75 upgrade fee + $10 for pending new photos).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I look at that $4,400 price sticker on the back of the new coin&#039;s slab, and just smile.</p><p><br /></p><p>Told my wife I got the new coin for 75 bucks, which was <i>sorta</i> true. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>(She wasn&#039;t fooled, and asked how in the world <i>that </i>happened.) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_6213-jpeg.1698432/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_6214-jpeg.1698433/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img_6215-jpeg.1698434/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
