It's nice but the coin is worth about 15K, so you're basically paying 10K for the plastic. No thanks. PLUS the same coin sold for just over 17K a mere 2 years ago!!! 25K is way overpriced IMHO.

<< <i>Looks like a very nice MS66. At this grade level the black slab is sort of irrelevant. So is the gold sticker if you're ready to pay MS66 or better money.
PCGS is VERY tough when giving out MS67's on no stars dimes and half dimes. As a PCGS 66+ you're probably in the $25K range. PCGS MS67 is a lofty $57K.
If I time trip back to 1988 I made my first no stars dimes in MS65. It was an 1838-0 and was a NGC MS65 pop 1. I remember that MS65 type coins were on the sheet for $10K back then. They are really aren't all that much more money today. But, the pops are certainly a lot higher. >>
That is the quandary. In PCGS 66+ it's a push. In PCGS 67 it's at least double. In PCGS 66 ouch.

I just saw another listed in 66+ CAC for 35K so there is risk reward in this for sure. I like the CRO coin better. Then there is the hat.

And you can look at all the others out there in gem and above. And with the billions of dollars of certified coins available, the big money tends to go toward extremely rare coins, with an impressive story behind them.

You can't ask for a 2 point upgrade when submitting coins for crossover. You can't ask for ANY upgrade when doing so.
<< <i>zero chance for hitting a PCGS 67.. why ? I bet someone already submitted the coin w/holder to PCGS, for a lotto stab at 67 >>
Can you specify a min grade to cross above the current grade? Either way uber mint state crossovers rarely happen without cracking the coin out.
