Quote: Wish I could but wonder if it's really a "put-together" presentation? I'm not really sure I'd care, as long as it looks the part. Not like you'd be keeping it whole simply because of the provenance, anyway. Wonder how much the "rattler" adjective will jack up the price?

I don't think it's completely put together if at all. There are consecutive serial numbers in the lot. Put together or not, it's a pretty dang cool box o' 20.

So who wants to guess what the final price will be?

Wonder how much the "rattler" adjective will jack up the price? The PCGS message boards lit up today with guesses on what would "gold bean" or what would upgrade a point if re-submitted. A lot of Kool-Aid drinkers there though. Quote: I don't think it's completely put together if at all. There are consecutive serial numbers in the lot. Put together or not, it's a pretty dang cool box o' 20. I didn't notice the consecutive serial numbers at first glance. That does lend an air of legitimacy to the group. Still wonder why it wasn't submitted to CAC before the auction? Assumption would be they don't look like under-graded coins. Quote: So who wants to guess what the final price will be? My guess would be a $24,000 hammer price for $26,400 out the door. A touch too rich for my blood.

do you think $26,500 would be worth it if you had the money to do so? I'm not sure what I would want to own this at that number but I do like it and I am in gold mode...

Lovely set of 20 classic gold coins ... the rattler provenance will most likely enhance the final price. I'm not bidding.  David

Quote: Might be a little high if they are no upgrades in the bunch though This is what scares me. The winner, at their discretion of course, would spend more money to send to PCGS in hopes of upgraded holders. If that fails now the person is into the set for an even higher amount.

Seems gold beans generate more money than 1 point higher graded new slabs. And yes, this is strictly from a monetary perspective.

Thanks for the "Wishing Well" link to this..  .. Beautiful set, I would leave them in and CAC them as well. I'm sure many know here but how old are these slabs. We have a few but have never known the years these were slabbed in.

Quote: I'm sure many know here but how old are these slabs. These type slabs were the original ones used by PCGS when they were founded in 1986. I believe they were used into 1987 before changing the design. Conder101 would know the exact dates for sure.
