Hi, I’m Craig. I’m on the less expensive side of this hobby. I learn a lot in this forum. I broke discipline when I saw these at the Raleigh Show. I pointed at the SP and asked the price— $150.00—, he said. He saw my involuntary wince and then said—$135.00. “Okay”. He hands, me all four and the presentation case. I said—All of them, are you sure?—Yes, and the case.
I went back twice to make sure that he did not make a mistake.




Sellers dropped forty to fifty percent from the marked prices of the low-clad slabs, and mint sets.
I found a dollar bill next to my truck when I Ieft.

    Isn't that four ounces of silver? Slabbed high grade? For $135? 🤔

    Well done!

    I was afraid that that dude would have to make up the difference; I went back twice. I couldn’t do it to a good person, were it mistake. I still think that it was a mistake.
    It is my favorite modern coin design, I just wanted the non-proof for my collection.

    The number was amazing, but I spent it because it was not perfect and it hurt my heart to know it.

    Welcome from Central Florida.

    Nice score for $135.00!

    Alright, Creg, Craig, Greg, or whatever your name is. We’re going to need to see three forms of gov’t issued ID, your ANA card, and four references from members of clergy. Oh, and your birth certificate and a notarized letter from it’s issuing clerk validating your identity.

    Ok, ok. Just kidding. Paranoia runs deep around here lately. Welcome and nice score!

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

    EU is a method of manufacture, or die preparation (Enhanced Uncirculated), not a grade. The number grade is used in conjuction with it. ;):D

    I guess the question should have been, "is good meming easy?".

    Successful memes are A.) funny, and B.) have atleast a grain or two of truth to them.

    Yours don't meet either test. ;)

    You just might have to accept the fact that you aren't the best at something. :D
