In reply to K Alphonso. What is the difference in the 50.00 one?

In reply to Buford. They are missing the liberty on her head, only come in one finish, that is why they are so cheap.

In reply to joera. joera I'm with you. Buy the coin and not the slab. To me a PCGS (or NGC) MS/SP/PR70 coin is a MS/SP/PR70 coin irregardless of the slab label. The value of a third party graded coin to me is just that, the graded coin and even then, the coin has to be eye-appealing to me. This is a common phenomena and many resellers will have coins graded with these "special" labels and get astronomically higher prices for the exact same coin. Interesting and, potentially, lucrative.

Thanks. The people biding on these must be more into collecting signatures than the coin it self. It has been said, “buy the coin, NOT the slab!” The slab that have signatures are different from the slabs that have “FIRST STRIKE” or “FIRST DAY OF ISSUE” but still not the coin. I don’t know anything about collecting signatures so I’m not into buying slabs with the signatures. To me it’s just another slab with an added “bait” to get more money from the buyer. But that’s just me. It would be interesting to know how you or others think about the whole signature slabs. Are they worth the money? In this case, over $700??

Mercanti holdered PR70 coin auction started @ .99 and is now nearing $700 with 5+ days left on the auction. Seems like this one will enter with huge returns for those who get in on the ~5% that are grading perfect.

The rarity of the subject matter and design will probably carry the value of the medal. It should have more than moderate sales.

I didn’t like the way the Mint in its infinite wisdom chose not show the entire eagle … it just seems unbalanced with its tail feathers chopped off by the rim. I dunno but has any eagle depicted on a US coin not shown in full?? And the initials and mint mark around the eagle make it seem like biting insects converging on the eagle …. JMO

This isn’t a coin,it’s a medal. Has no face value. Won’t be valued as a coin in the future. Unfortunately with unlimited mintage this one can’t be that special but as a complete set who knows. Might be some potential.
