I use to deal in vintage tube audio receivers. Many times the oak veneer cabinate (far from being anything fancy) would sell for more than the receiver in good condition. They used to pay several hundred dollars for them. Maybe this is kind of like that.
Who needs the coin when you can just get the box.......it's like the whole thing with Marriage.....just pull a Tiger woods and skip walking down the isle

I know quite a few people who feel the same way about folks like us paying anything over face value for a coin
I totally enjoy the look on some folks faces when I tell them about the $5 Million Nickel ...
Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free
I cannot remember exactly why, but I was in a position last year where I had a Buffalo 2007 Proof in a capsule, but no box.
I purchased a box from someone on the BST forum for $50. They probably thought I was nuts. I want my OCD Original Mint Packaging boxes to all match as much as possible. Fake mahogany veneer all around!

But $500?!? Perhaps I should sell my boxes?
