[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3574816, member: 10461"]Indeed. I asked "why?" on a couple myself, and I'm the one who did it! Take the Tanzanian coin, for example. [IMG]https://images.pcgs.com/TrueView/37681949_large.jpg[/IMG] By the catalog value, that's a $2.50 coin I just spent $40-45+ to slab. Some of my rationale for that is covered [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-a-cheap-coin-that-makes-you-happy.307562/']here[/URL]. It is largely a sentimental thing, really. And since nobody is likely to be submitting many of those in the foreseeable future, it is likely to remain pop. 1/0 for a long time. I don't believe any of these were issued in proof or mint sets (if so, I haven't heard of that), and amongst the (few?) surviving Mint State coins left out there, this one probably stacks up pretty well.[/QUOTE]
