    Actually, the mintage on those is pretty low too and they'll be a lot harder to get in 70 than the Ws.

    I thought it was funny that at the top of the description it says "What you see is what you get".

    Then below the photos, it says "Highest offer or winning bid will receive an item precisely resembling the exact coin you see here. In other words, an excellent looking coin, in the exact slab, in the exact grade."

    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.

    No, I don't have mintage numbers. The Mint reports sales numbers by month. From that one has to surmise mintage numbers for a year or two until they publish them.

    I'm not a modern guy, but so what if it's not the exact coin,... if it's the exact slab in the exact grade, then the coin would be PCGS MS70. What's the big deal? Now if you got an ICG MS70 or somesuch then I could understand the woofing... or now that I think of it, the fractionals "resemble" that coin. Do you think she'd throw in a fractional instead?
