Well this round goes to Burton .... his guess just $2.50 off actual price paid including shipping... I do suspect that Burton like myself checks certain e bay listings and put 1 pci and 1 Accugrade and got $57.50 So for me this purchase was like a bogo..... as unlike most I find treasures in slabs others don't even look at.... at $55 for 2 cool slabs and 3 varieties.... I'm in high cotton!
Oh and had all I could do to stop myself from pulling the trigger on a gold pci holder 1938 D Buffalo.....and to be perfectly honest the images he had posted looked like a 66 + One of the nices reverses I've seen ever I swear i so wanted to push that button. @$29.99
Well I knew you or Heavy would know my mo...... so knew this would be short lived... no worries i would of paid 50 for the 1870 variety

Let's go back to the beginning... the slab that started me off on my hunt for the weird, odd, strange and everything abnormal... Arguably, the coin is actually better than VG8. The GreySheet CPG says G4 is $42, VG8 is $52, F12 is $55 and VF20 is $74. What did I pay, in 2014 dollars?
$50 ...interestingly enough a slab that I never owned. I did hear that the people who slabbed those used to set up at Michigan coin shows and even did some special holders for those that requested it.
They dropped the Michigan at some point and became MGS.. http://fun-forums.livejournal.com/81542.html
