How about the 04 Dollar that has moved up to AU. Now over the years I have learned to buy the coin and not the holder. This isn't always easy as I do a lot of sight unseen business with other dealers. There are monster deals out there in these "other" holders. One just has to look past the service name. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been trying to add any help that I am able to get some of the ANA's suggestions across to graders and dealers.
