Re: Got a 2017 mint set. Unopened. Wondering what kind of error is on the sail?

I would not take it out of the mint package that would drop the value or premium if a mint error

Re: 1973 Quarters?

Re: Small beads blunt 5

PCGS will charge you $25.00 to break open slabs plus $35.00 for grading and postage both ways.
Another note about Anacs, I have never ever come close to their grades I wouldn't hold my breath to get MS-67 from any other grading Company

The 1909 ML (round) C/B is worth a little money even in VG-8 $250.00 in the Charlton Catalogue.
