The absolute cheapest was free in a CCF contest, but I don't think that counts. Beyond that, probably about $15 for a PCGS/NGC War Nickel.

I actually won this contest, the only free slabbed coin I've received:

I only have 2 slabbed coins, so that would be my MS63 1921-P Morgan dollar worth around $60. The other one is my MS63 1922-S Peace dollar at around $120.

I saw these, but decided not to bid (a friend did for fun!)... Note that these are PCGS Gold Shield slabs

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/1969-1c-PCG...224245372167

The seller is in Canada, so factor in the $US exchange rate, and even with a bulk order (to save on shipping), it costs minimum CAN$20 per coin to certify these...

As I was putting the finishing touches on my Proof Type Set, after having spent thousands of dollars on many rare and exotic U.S. coins, it dawned on me that I didn't actually have an example of a proof Wheat Back Lincoln Cent. So I took a quick look on ebay and purchased the highest grade example I could find at a reasonable price:

What-Is-The-Cheapest-Slabbed-Coin-You-Own? What-Is-The-Cheapest-Slabbed-Coin-You-Own?

At a cost of $59, it's the cheapest slabbed coin that I have ever purchased. The cheapest slabbed coin I actually own, however, is a modern Jefferson nickel that somebody included as a free gift when I bought a more expensive coin from them on ebay. I don't have a picture of it since I don't rightly know where it even is at the moment. I have no idea why somebody would even bother getting one of these graded, to be honest, but it was free!

Mine is a 2004 Canada Quarter in an NGC MS67, I collect slabbed "firsts" and this colorized poppy was the world's first circulating colorized coin.

Worth a whopping $6

I have an NGC Ike that was free, a gift from a user who wished to remain anonymous.

My cheapest bought PCGS Ike was $14.

I've got many common Morgans in MS63 that simply not worth slabbing myself, but my guess is they were done institutionally in very high numbers ... glad to have them at the price I got them $42

I have no slabbed coins and I have no idea what the cheapest one I ever bought was. I just hate those things.

No pics, but I got a handful of slabs for free from a coin show I went to as a YN about 20 years ago - IIRC, an NGC MS64 British 1964 penny, and a State Quarter in sample slabs from each NGC and PCGS. No idea if they are worth anything at all now.


Sample slabs can be worth a good bit of money. The cheapest slab I bought was an older PCGS sample slab a couple years ago at an estate sale for $1 and sold it on ebay for over $100.

Have a 1946 cent and 1964 dime. I don't know why the cent was slabbed I think the dime says sample on the slab.

My cheapest slab buy was a PCGS PR70DCAM 2005 S Waters nickel for $11.00. It's in a box, somewhere.

I bought a 1941-S LWC in NGC MS-66BN that I paid $14 for

Someone offered me $125 for it. I actually told them I wasn't comfortable completing the sale but they insisted they were fine with what they were paying.

Turns out they're working on a BN LWC set, and just happened to need what I had.

Probably one of my birth year Lincoln cents.
All are PCGS MS-66RD except the proof which is PCGS PF-65RD.

Oh, yeh, the year. 1941
