    I collect 20-slab, blue plastic PCGS coin boxes. To me, every empty box is like a beating heartimage NOT.

    People come up sometimes, and ask me, G99G, are you kidding? And I answer them no, I am NOT KIDDING.

    Every empty box?

    I would have to sell most of my coins to own this one. But, I think it just might be worth it. image

    Amazing obverse. Reminds me [and I'm certain Sunnywood will agree] of a certain Vermeule proof seated dollar. It had a subdued obverse due to many fingerprints, but a simply stunning reverse. In each case, the single side is probably the finest for the type in existance.

    heck yeah TDN, I remember the reverse of that 1872 proof dollar !!!! only in the case of this 1914 MPL, thankfully it's the obverse that's the stellar side ...

    As David Hall has said to me, "The obverse carries the coin. The most a reverse can add is half a point." This comment was in response to a question about an 1894-P Morgan dollar, which we agreed had a 62-63 obverse and an amazing (esp. for the date) 67 reverse. The slab grade was 63. David explained that he would grade the obverse 62.5, and would give it the half-point bump due to the strong reverse. But by no means could one expect to just average the two sides, or even get a full point out of the reverse.

    Best,
    Sunnywood
