[QUOTE="s_mack, post: 914548, member: 25917"]Hello. I'm sorry to be the guy that posts a very basic question that he should have looked up on Google :) But I did! I honestly tried. It is very difficult searching for the letter "s" and getting usable results. I have a few coins that were passed to me and I'm trying to educate myself about them. I tried searching for one on eBay to get an idea of its value and I found one that was very near identical... but not quite. My coin: 1901 $10 PCGS MS62 Their coin: 1901-S $10 PCGS MS62 What's the "-S"? Is it more desirable? Less? While I have your attention... also in that listing, they seemed to go on about the "old green case" that it was in. Mine looks identical. Is the type of plastic enclosure really worth anything? Does it matter that mine is chipped? (the case that is, not the coin - it has a raised lip on the front surface and a 1/2" section is chipped off. No affect to the contents). Just for interest sake... I also have a 1923 $20 MS 64 (NGCoA?) in a hard plastic case as well as a 1973 Krugerand that's just in a small plastic envelope (ie. I can easily pull the coin out and handle it). Thanks. - Steve[/QUOTE]
