    Great Collections?

    Can't say I wander the listings much past the "classic" commems….but there seems to be a lot of pages remaining after that!

    There are a few currently listed there and more may pop up. GC can be a good option, but for just one Bald Eagle coin it may end up costing more than on eBay.

    I used to pay attention to post issue pricing on this kind of stuff,but I quit looking years ago. I wonder if anyone has ever kept track of the percentage of issues that have increased in value versus decreased ?
    I would think the decrease would far out-weigh. That would be enough of a discouragement for me in considering stocking that stuff. It would be "buy and sell".

    on the top of the page is a link to collectors corner - a search there reveals some other sources besides eBay. David Lawrence Rare Coins has a Pr70DCAM listed for $100.

    There used to be a dealer at the Baltimore shows that had a lot of them. I bought some of the double sets in the wooden boxes when I was collecting those from him. At the moment I can't recall his name.

    As previous posters have covered the best sources, I would recommend a PR or MS 70 graded by our host . One of the best design-imo-and fairly available in 70. They have been selling as of late for a small bump over melt.

    Reason I wanted this one is how similar it is to my Washington Eagle. :)

    No, it was not him. It was one of tables in the middle of the room toward the back.
