The slab, the grade on the slab, and the bean are irrelevant when buying a coin like this and it's impossible to know if the PCGS label adds value to a coin of this magnitude. I kind of suspect not. I'm sure someone will disagree with me. But unless you sell the same coin in both slabs at the same auction (Which is physically impossible), we will never know for sure. All the serious buyers know the coin regardless of what slab it is and it's history of what slabs it used to be in. It could be raw and the buyer would still know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
