Umm. Maybe it's because slabbed coins always sell for more on ebay? I can't think of any other reason someone would have it slabbed. |

Lowball sets are popular.

After looking at the "store" the first thing that comes to my mind is one of those flea market booth stores that buy for 5 cent on the dollar and sell at market rates. It's the only logical solution I can imagine.  |

NJ Bob,
That is too funny. The big question would be:
Who's the bigger fool, the one who sent it in or the one who buys it for 14.95?

For a 'lowball' registry set. There are such collectors that look for the lowest grade possible for registry sets on the opposite end of the grading scale. Believe it or not, it is much, much more difficult than assembling a high grade registry set.

Lowball, I'll dump two more dollars and buy the gumballs.  |

Believe it or not, it is much, much more difficult than assembling a high grade registry set. I never heard of a lowball set before but I've got to admit it sounds intriguing. Not to mention it would probably be a lot cheaper than a high grade set. Did you notice it comes with free shipping? |

Keep it as a pocket piece for a few years before you send it in for a lowball set.

I'm sure there are plenty of P001 War Nickels out there for lowball sets so I don't understand why someone would pay good money to slab a G4. Now find a P001 State Quarter or Ike dollar and that would create a lowball ebay frenzy! |

I have a couple rolls that could make a lowball set. Just need to spend a bunch to have them graded.

Difference between a Lowball and a Highball:
About 1 ounce of whiskey.

Just maybe someone thought it was a rare raw coin, but doesn't it have to go through a coin dealer first with ngc? I think it has to be with PCGS right? Someone slipped up here.
