I am outbid on the coin I wanted. Some of these may be "cracked out" based on the prices right now.
EJ, I feel your pain.
I've lost a few exceptional rattlers to the crack-out speculators. The old plastic needs to be preserved!

Bid on the 1986 proof silver eagle in first generation plastic. Went for about $500 vs $1200 or so for a couple similar examples a few years ago.
I got outbid which was probably a good thing.
Ha!
I got this one. I needed it to add to my 1986-S rattler proof set. Now I have two, not sure if any others exist.
I bought two out of a Heritage weekly internet auction for under $100 a piece. It was about five years ago and they have since been sold. I'll try to pull them ip later tonight to see if they match your coins.

I was watching that one too, but the crack in the holder and what looks like hazing bothered me. I like old slabs, but have decided that I want the coin and the holder to look decent too.
What's it like in hand?

At lest 2 exist because I bought these together a while back at a Long Beach show. I sold one to a forum member and had this one I gave to GC. Both were 1986-s.
