    Why did you move it from that PCGS holder to an SGS Holder?

    Okay.................I got it


    I've always said Abracadabra before the trick, not after,

    nice trick.

    I wish that were the case, but it was another seller. I really have to wonder, though, what the Abon/SGS slabber guy was thinking when he stuck that coin in one of their holders.

    The fields of the coin in the SGS picture look better than the fields of the coin in the PCGS picture................, but not $688.00 better.

    Way to go Russ. Your $12.00 figure is a hard dollar cost (what you paid to get the SGS slab); however is the $700.00 figure cash in hand yet or simply current market value (in other words have you sold it yet)?

    Maybe it was one of those days where they were swamped with submissions and that coin just slipped past them in the rush to catch up.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    The coin "drops" 3 grade points and "rises" $688 in price.

    Wonderful!

    That's it, I'm going on ebay and buying all the sgs slabs I can find, they must all be great bargains like this one.
