I think one of the reasons these are graded is because even though they were 5 of them, each one that had these five wanted theirs to be the best of the 5 and no matter what they thought they didn't have a chance of proving it unless it was graded by a third party. Another reason is there is only 5 of these known to exist and without authentication there would be no way to prove the one you has was real. The CAC sticker is worthless in my opinion, because everyone knows which one is the best of the 5 and everyone knows who has owned each and everyone of them and all have their own merits just on that fact. So the CAC sticker on any of the 1913 nickels is pretty redundant

I wonder how much the slab itself would be worth, I'm sure it would have collectable value even without the coin in it.


It would, look at what this empty box sold for. The buyer left good feedback too!

Captainkurt,

From the looks of it that buyer hasn't left feedback yet (correct me if I'm wrong). I see someone left feedback on Dec. 21 for a similar lot, but he only paid $49 for it. This one sold for $650! I can't imagine the buyer really meant to pay that much for just a box, but who knows. The seller is very clear that no coin is included so any mistake is completely on the buyer's end.

I'm usually a fan of OGP, but not when you could buy a gold coin for
what those boxes went for!

650 bucks for an empty box?!?!?!?!

you could make money off the 1913's just by getting them slabbed, cracking them and selling the cracked slabs. I bet you could do it with any super rare coin, pure madness...............

Great idea, Xavier! Now I can justify buying an
MS-67 1893-S Morgan.

I'll just crack it out every two months, and send it to PCGS and NGC
on an alternating basis (and maybe ANACS once every two years or so).

Who wouldn't want a top-tier TPG MS-67 '1893-S' Morgan slab?!
