  Uh. OK. It's bad enough to put advertisements on the label. When an advertisements occupies the center of the holder, it cheapens the brand in my book.

  It's just a fun coin. I don't own stock in PCGS or Coke. But the whole nature of that little Fiji coin just strikes me as hysterical. And now, seeing it in a PCGS holder, it made me laugh all over again.

  I wonder what the grading cost was? it looks like they are all coming back pr-68, a pr-69 would be registry material

  While that is WAAAAAAY more than I would pay, these do seem to mostly come back as 67 or 68s based on the "eBay census".

  If you want the number 1 Registry set of bottle-cap coins, you need the 70!
