<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 360971, member: 68"]In point of fact he got a steal on the coin. It lists for $250 in the PCGS price guide. Even Coin World which tends to be pretty conservative with moderns lists it at $100. If you think this coin is so easy then why aren't you out there selling? Let me answer it for you; you don't have a clue where to find such coins and don't want to learn. You don't even consider these real coins since they didn't make any real coins after 1964. And of course you don't know anyone who set them aside and even if you did there's about zero chance that they tried to save only nice examples. </p><p><br /></p><p>When you ask questions like this you are essentially saying that moderns are beneath collecting. You are saying that no one would have any desire for it if it weren't in the slab. Well, you couldn't be more wrong. There are people who collect moderns and they aren't going to stop because you think they're nuts or their coins are worthless. The simple fact is that a memorial that sells for the same price as a wheatie is probably about twenty times scarcer because no one wants to collect junk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
