What's the cheapest slabbed coin that you bought (that was slabbed at the time you bought it)?

    I got one of those PCGS "Authentic Wheat Cent" slabs on eBay. I think it was 4 bucks.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    NTC, 1964 Roosie with nice obverse toning. Graded MS65, but in real life an MS64 for $1.00, shipped. image In that same group was about 20 other NTC graded coins that I bought for $1.00 each. Some nickels, dimes and quarters.

    The cheapest I have ever purchased was a Kennedy for $6.00. I sold a Roosevelt on ebay the other day for high price of $2.39.

    I picked up 6 war nickels graded PCGS MS65 and MS66 for around $15 each at a show earlier this month. I'll probably end up keeping one and selling/trading the rest.
    You shout in your sleep.
    Perhaps the price is just too steep.

    A 1983-P Roosevelt dime in PCGS-58 for $1.50 . . . still cannot figure out why that one was slabbed!

    Have never bought a slab. I did, however, win a '55-S PCGS MS65 dime from here.

    Ok, so this bring up a question. What is the cheapest grade slab can you get through PCGS? I have bought a few PCGS slabbed MS/PR coins recently between $5.00 and $10.00 each.

    I believe it cost $6

    According to the PCGS fee schedule, the lowest price for a graded slab is $15.00 for members. Do the authorized dealers get a break?

    3 PCGS-10 "Authentic" Sample Slabs for $5 a piece... but that was for resale... for my collection, a couple of the moderns for my ECOTS Registry set were $12...

    I bought a 1941 PF 63 red NGC Lincoln cent for $15. I needed a 1941 to finish off the 1936-1942 Lincon proof set.

    Bulk submitters pay cheap prices... probally something like a couple bucks per slab... like I've bought some cheap moderns for a couple bucks, coins that were probally submitted in bulk, but didn't make the grade to be sold for more...

    In my case it's a 1979-P Wide Rim Susan B Anthony MS-63 that I got for $16. I wanted to see how my raw SBA collection compared to a slabbed SBA, and figured I might as well get a variety that I didn't have while I was at it...

    I just topped my low of $16 ... down to $6.30. I bought this coin because my son was born in 2003 -- I had bought him a 1903 Morgan dollar and figured I should complement it with a 2003 Sac. Since the Morgan was slabbed and since this is meant as a "presentation piece" for my son, I figured it would be better to just pay a little extra to get a slabbed 2003 dollar. And since I'm not a modern collector, I didn't really care too much about the grade. Heck, MS-66 is better than any other slabbed coin I have!
