Mike - Yes, the slabs are nice, and I only recently started using my second 20-slab PCGS box for storage. Because the value is not "relatively" high, I'm comfortable keeping these at home. You correctly pointed out the storage problems of a set with dozens of OGP's.
As to your interesting Die question, I have no idea.

Talking about President William McKinley, many people don't know the very interesting story that many years ago when they were naming mountains, at that time there were two mountains getting named, one in Alaska and the other in the state of Washington. They decided to name them after McKinley and Rainier, but initially didn't know which of the two mountains to name after which person. As we now know, the one in Alaska was named after McKinley, and the one in Washington was named after Rainier. But do you know WHY? They decided to name the mountain in Washington as they did because in Washington, it was rainier, lol.

Yes, he was a Gold prospector, and before McKinley was elected in 1896, he applied to name that mountain Mount MCKiney. But my answer is funnier, lol.

My McKinley Example arrived, Alone Perfect !!!! ( cut back hard on buying from them). Clearly, IMO The Presidential Silver Medal Series decision to mint these in The Uncirculated finish is a Home Run for Collector's . I have seen Many medals produced, The UNC'S take the Prize for Me.....  The Reverses have come a very long way too.... |
