<p>[QUOTE="Jim Johns, post: 2524650, member: 78172"]I didn't pay any premium and it was a lady selling mainly art that she ran across in auctions. It was a very fair price compared to any other set I could have bought. For probably the 10th time now..this was a question of Proof or MS. Not SMS. Not even Gem for that matter. They're nice and I would like to have them slabbed if they are MS because of their appeal to me and only me. It's not even resale value I'm concerned with as much as preservation so they don't turn black when my son gets them years down the road. And since there has even been a question on if they were proof or ms, I'm going to yes, waste the money to help out the graders for Christmas time. Thanks for your input but I can clearly see you won't go to bed satisfied until I say that you are right. Everybody else is wrong and nobody's opinion but yours matters enough for consideration. It's guys like you who prevent people from even caring about coins because that attitude of being the only guy that knows anything is super irritating. A simple grade is well known to depend on the grader at times, even in the same day on the same coin, yet you are the ultimate coin guru sir. Thanks for the enlightenment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
