<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 1412047, member: 3726"]Not going to argue with you about the sleeper part, they very well could be. Won't argue about the price if you like it. What I could argue(notice I said could) with is 50k minted and 1.6k graded 64. I know coins with lower mintages that also do not have outlandish prices. Scroll thru the redbook and look at some of the other coins and their mintages. Then you can shop around. Some of the proof shield nickels have much lower mintages, yet you can find them for reasonable prices. For example - 1879 proof can be had for $200(assuming a lower grade proof) or more with a mintage of 3.2k. Personally they could both be sleepers, but you never really know. Bottom line - buy the coin, not the holder. And then just enjoy the coin and maybe if you are lucky you sell it for a profit in 10 to 20 years(if lucky).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
