<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Yankee, post: 666694, member: 18618&quot;]I got this one slabbed too. PCGS price guide says $600. I am pretty sure I could get $300. if I wanted to sell....I<i> like PCGS because they tend to be more conservative in their grading I understand if I were to send this gold half eagle in to one of their competitors I would have probably gotten a MS70 grade. I intend to hang on to this coin for about 20 more years so maybe by then I can make a few bucks when I sell. Who knows if the U.S. mint will ever make fractional gold coins again. I like the slabs because they seem to do a good job protecting the coins from damage.I read a recent story about a currency collector that had a fire resistant safe in his home and suffered a bad home fire, The fire burned far longer then his safes rating. All papers in the safe were destroyed including many of his collector bank notes. All the PCGS slabbed notes survived un damaged although he had to have them re slabbed because the plastic melted. but the slabbed notes were completely undamaged. I guess I wouldnt get coins worth less then $300. slabbed but over that its ok to me anyway.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
