Sac Attack
Mike
Lincoln Wheats (1909 - 1958) Basic Set - Always Interested in Upgrading!
<< <i>What a deal!
Hmm... PCGS must have slabbed a few of these as 70 or else we'd see the first eBay auction from DHRC, like the first 70 Buffalo commem.
a 2000-S PF70 lists at about $135...what makes a 2002 so special?
Just couldn't live with myself if I plunked down $1,700 for a 21st century coin.
However, I would hold off on the Sac.
<< <i>I believe Wayne is a member of this board, ask him. I put it on my watch list so I could see if it sells and if so I will start sending in some of these to be graded! Someone has to break the ice!
He is... I had the pleasure of meeting him in Baltimore--he's a top notch guy and both very friendly and knowledgeable... I recommend Wayne to everyone here.

It would be most unwise to spend lots of money on a coin you have no interest in
and this may well be especially true when it has some market risk. On the plus side
however there is little danger that this coins has been tooled or doctored to make it
appear better than it really is like so many 19th century premium type coins. Nor is there
much danger that it was submitted many times in order to to max it out in grade. While
the value of this coin may not be well established yet, one can be relatively confident
that the coin will be real, and original. One can be relatively confident that the only risk
he's taking on is market risk.
If one actually does collect and study these coins he can minimize that risk.
