<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3591975, member: 101855&quot;]I used to keep up with the modern commemoratives, but I don&#039;t any more. It&#039;s just too expensive. As collector, I much prefer the original mint packaging with the Certificate of Authenticity. To me these coins in slabs are dull and sterile.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find this more interesting than a pile of four slabs. This is the four piece Smithsonian set in the wooden box, which is actually rather scarce, not that anyone cares.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]959866[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]959867[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The chances of sending in one set and getting even one MS or PR-70 are very low. That’s a lottery that high volume dealers play.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are going to pay this game, the PCGS MS or PR-70 means a lot more than the NGC version. The collectors of these things think that the PCGS registry is more prestigious, and that’s the main reason for paying big bucks for the 70 graded coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
